Summary
Scott Adams talks about transgender people, infrastructure, and the " simultaneous sip" and much, much more. The simultaneous sip is when two people have a conversation about the same topic and have completely different opinions about it, and they still agree on the same thing.

Hey, everybody. Come on in. You're just on time, and it's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:09.040
A lot of people are saying it's the best thing that's ever happened to them.
00:00:13.960
I can't give you their names because they'd like to remain anonymous, but I'm telling you,
00:00:19.520
anonymous people everywhere are saying that this is the best thing that's ever happened.
00:00:26.660
But first, I'd like to talk about word thinking, because I want to get you all mad before we start.
00:00:37.800
Here's a typical conversation between a potential transgender person and a typical conservative.
00:00:47.480
I told you, you're going to get mad. It goes like this.
00:00:50.600
Transgender says, you know, I know I was born with male body parts, but on the inside, in my mind, I feel that I'm really female.
00:01:03.020
And I'd like the freedom to be able to live my internal life, you know, my mental truth.
00:01:10.240
And that will take some changes on my external parts.
00:01:21.900
I get what you're saying, that I was born with male body parts.
00:01:24.660
But the part you can't see, the part that's in my head, thinks I'm female and always has.
00:01:35.840
So I get your point, but I'd like to alter the exterior part to make it consistent with my interior thoughts.
00:01:47.260
And the transgender says, yeah, we've been over this.
0.99
00:01:52.280
On the outside, biologically, the stuff you can see, I'm definitely a man.
00:01:59.480
But on the inside, the part you can't see, that's personal to me,
00:02:04.040
I'd like to live consistent with my interior truth.
00:02:23.920
It's just two people having a different conversation while imagining it's the same conversation.
00:02:30.780
Somebody says, LOL, they never concede physical biology.
00:02:42.200
The operation, its only point is because they concede the physical reality.
00:02:50.160
Now, the question of who plays in what sports leagues is a completely separate question.
00:03:00.540
And I think there's room for disagreement in that.
00:03:05.100
But there's no disagreement about the fact that somebody has male parts or female parts when they're born.
00:03:12.300
And we act as if there's somehow, that's a disagreement.
00:03:16.780
Now that we've settled that, and you know that that's a fake debate,
00:03:21.280
how about the simultaneous sip, if there's anybody left?
00:03:26.220
And if you'd like to enjoy this to the maximum extent,
00:03:30.000
all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,
00:03:41.480
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day,
00:03:48.460
It's called the simultaneous sip, and you're going to savor it.
00:04:01.580
Well, apparently there's a bipartisan group of senators,
00:04:08.640
And these awesome people in the middle of the political spectrum
00:04:16.860
Now, of course, they would have to sell their agreement to the wider body of Congress,
00:04:21.120
but amazingly, 5 Dems and 5 Republicans came up with an agreement for an infrastructure package.
00:04:29.580
Would you like to hear the details of what they came up with?
00:04:40.600
It's not like anybody's going to implement this agreement.
00:04:42.900
The whole reason that people disagree is for political reasons.
00:04:52.740
hey, if we were to ignore the politics of this for a moment,
00:04:58.760
what kind of agreement would we come up with that was just sort of good work for the public?
00:05:07.620
Do you think AOC cares what these 10 people came up with?
00:05:16.620
Now, Biden might care, because he is centrist by nature, I think.
00:05:29.240
is that the bipartisan agreement means absolutely nothing in today's day and age.
00:05:42.380
Suppose that Congress actually agreed on some version of this bipartisan package.
00:06:02.300
Do you know why we've never done it this way before?
00:06:07.800
Maybe you can think of some historical situation.
00:06:12.380
I don't think this is really a thing you can do.
00:06:15.220
Because the people involved are not trying to do what's right.
00:06:22.020
They're trying to do what their side agrees with, etc.
00:06:29.680
If there's anything I would like to be wrong about,
00:06:42.220
because it's just a little bit too on the nose.
00:06:49.600
So, I guess I'm a little on the fence on this one.
00:07:07.640
says that he'd take a thousand more American hostages
00:07:15.620
Now, I'm thinking he probably won't get elected.
00:07:22.320
That doesn't really seem like a campaign promise
00:07:29.220
given that that would cause us to attack Iran
0.98
00:07:37.860
Do you think that a candidate for president in Iran
00:07:44.740
that somebody would have really said in public.
00:07:47.480
So, I'm going to put a little asterisk next to this one
00:08:12.660
Critical race theory being taught in our schools
00:08:38.420
by taking their credibility completely out of the universe,
00:08:46.880
It wasn't the way anybody would have wanted to do it.
00:09:02.440
So, it's possible that this is what breaks the system
00:09:06.100
and breaks the control of the teachers' unions,
00:09:20.840
which they do effectively by controlling politics,
00:09:50.240
Now, that education could include a trade skill.
00:10:09.940
And so, I would like to make this following statement.
00:10:15.700
you know that I like systems over goals, right?
00:10:32.080
is to have everything equal and no racism, right?
