Scott Adams (0:00)
Good morning, everybody. Let's see if we can get this show rolling. I'll get this. I got it. There we go. Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And you never had a better time. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody could even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper Margaret glass, a tanker Chelsea sign, a canteen juggernaut flask, a vessel of any kind. I'm slurring my voice, am I not? Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with my mouth. But anyway, join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. That dopamine thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens. Now go. All right, well, apparently in Austin there are already driverless Teslas. So if you're, if you walk around in Austin, you'll see these driverless cars go by. Not only are there driverless cars now, which is really good if you don't like people, but MIT has developed a ping pong playing robot which is better than all the other ping pong playing robots, I guess because we've done this before. But I'm trying to think of a future life where I get an Uber but there's no Uber driver so I don't have to worry about a person. And then I take it to my local ping pong emporium and I play with a robot and then I take my self driving auto cab home. I can avoid people completely. That's a good world. Well, as you know, the New York Times did a big piece of alleging that Elon Musk is taking all kinds of drugs. They say it was on ketamine and ecstasy and mushrooms. And Elon Musk says, nope, he's not any drugs at all, it's fake news. And he was randomly tested for three years after he had one one puff of weed on the Joe Rogan show. So nope, he's telling us quite clearly that he is not on any kinds of drugs. And I think they do keep testing him because of SpaceX. He did say he tried prescription ketamine a few years ago, but that wasn't, you know, that wasn't illegal. So here's something exciting in interesting engineering. I keep telling you that the most exciting technology would be holes. Like the boring company can make a tunnel, big hole, but if you could go straight down and you could go far enough, you could get into all that geothermal. And apparently there's a new technology that looks like, it can do that. And it's a company called Quaise Energy. And what do they do? They have a novel drilling method. They use a gyrotron, which is how I do it. It's a device that generates a powerful high frequency millimeter wave. And these waves are so intense that they can literally vaporize rock, functioning like a microwave on steroids to bore deep into the Earth. Well, if that works, the energy situation on Earth is really going to change, because presumably if they can make one drill that can do that, they can make lots of drills that can do that. So imagine having unlimited free energy. Free meaning it might cost you 20 to 40 million dollars to drill the hole, but once you did, it would be free energy for just about ever. Well, Paris is probably on fire still because the French soccer team won a big victory. The what team is it? The Parisian to Germans psg. I watched that match. Oh, my goodness. That was fun. That was such a good match. It was four nothing or five nothing, but it was incredible. And what do you do when your team wins? Well, apparently, if you've got a big immigrant population and people have nothing else to do, they burn their own city. So don't go to Paris when Paris is winning. JP Morgan Chases CEO Jamie Dimon. He was at the Reagan National Economic Forum, and when somebody asked him about stockpiling bitcoin, he said, we shouldn't be stockpiling bitcoin. The US Government should be stockpiling guns, ammunition, and drones. Does Jamie Dimon know something we don't know? Well, he does know that if we ever got into a. A real missile fight with, you know, a major enemy, we would be out of missiles in about, what, a week? So he does know that our military industrial complex has not been doing the job. Or maybe we gave too much of it to Ukraine or something. But we don't really have enough stuff to have a proper war. Part of me thinks that's good news, because if we had all the weapons we needed and all the ammunition we needed, don't you think we'd be a little bit more likely to want to start a war? I like the fact that we don't anyway. And diamond also says we should be stockpiling rare earth if we could get it. He also doesn't like immigration, so Jamie Dimon said, immigration. What the hell were we doing? The bottom 20% of our population, their wages didn't go up for 20 years. They're dying seven years younger. Their schools don't work. Americans are getting sick of it, and Then he blames Democrats for all of their, what he calls the blue tape instead of the red tape because he says the Democrats are the ones that like all the regulations that kill business. So he's pretty close to a. Pretty close to a Republican, but not there yet. We'll keep watching. Well, Joe Rogan had rock star Botto on his show, and Bono thinks that the funding cuts to USAID have already killed 300,000 people. How many of you think that the funding cuts to USAID have killed 300,000 people? I hope not, but that sounds a little bit ridiculous. I'm not even going to fact check that. But Rogan tried to correct them and tell him that USAID was more of a money laundering operation than anything else and said that billions of dollars are missing and that Elon Musk said if any of this had been done by a public company, the company would be delisted and the executives would be in jail. And then Musk called Bono a retard. And apparently retard is now just an acceptable word. Not with everybody, of course. Well, pbs. According to the ap, PBS is going to sue the Trump administration over their defunding, same as npr. Now, how in the world can people always find a reason to sue? You would think that sometimes it would just be shit they don't like, but there wouldn't be anything you could sue over. So apparently the lawsuit relies on the argument that they're being defunded because their opinions, because they're a little bit too liberal. Now, does the government need a reason? So what if that is the reason? Who cares? So anyway, I'm just amazed that you can sue over anything. You know, there should be a whole different kind of government where there's like a court that follows the President around and as soon as the President signs an executive order, the court says, well, anybody's suing us. All right, you are, you are, you are. All right, we'll make a judgment. Now we're going to override you. But holy cow, how could it be true that everybody can sue everybody about everything in the government anyway? Anyway, don't you wonder what the legal budget is for the government? How much do you think the Trump administration spends on lawyers? It's got to be a billion, like maybe a billion dollars just on lawsuits. I mean, it's going to be a crazy number. I don't know.
