Everybody, wow, you look bright and happy this morning.
00:00:04.920
And welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:08.820
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, the best thing that's ever happened.
00:00:11.960
And if you like to take it up a notch, and you look like notch-taker uppers,
00:00:20.640
So all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or gel to stand,
00:00:23.960
a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:26.940
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:31.680
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day,
00:00:38.080
It's called what? That's right, the simultaneous sip.
00:00:52.580
Well, would you like to hear about what's happening in the news?
00:00:59.320
I'm going to make you wait for the whiteboard of wisdom.
00:01:05.920
It's not just a whiteboard now. It's the whiteboard of wisdom.
00:01:09.660
And later, I will solve one of the biggest mysteries in the world,
00:01:14.640
at the same time as solving one of the biggest problems in the world.
00:01:18.780
And if you don't think I can do that, you wait.
00:01:28.740
So there's a place called Babcock Ranch, which is not the joke.
00:01:37.160
It's just the real name of it. It's just Babcock.
00:02:01.120
And one of the nice things about it is it was designed to be resistant to this specific natural disaster.
00:02:16.960
So the whole town is solar, and it didn't lose its power.
00:02:24.520
It was actually self-contained, and I don't know how it was self-contained,
00:02:28.800
because I don't think they all had batteries, so that part I don't get.
00:02:33.140
Maybe they had, you know, more batteries than I thought.
00:02:36.640
But they said they didn't lose their power, somehow.
00:02:42.900
They built the community with streets that were designed to handle the flooding,
00:02:51.360
Now, I don't know exactly what that looks like,
00:02:53.160
but I'm guessing the streets are maybe sunken down a little bit or something.
00:03:05.580
And I think the homes were built to withstand the wind,
00:03:15.300
But they did mention, they mentioned the roads specifically,
00:03:18.260
so it could be the roads just have really good,
00:03:37.980
Not to be confused with, well, we've already done that.
00:03:49.420
This is one of my biggest predictions in the whole world,
00:04:22.140
Now, that's just a few of the things you could get
00:04:48.280
I mean, you could just get rid of everything annoying.
00:04:59.860
Because I have like five different kinds of insurance,
00:05:14.680
five days a year just trying to unfuck my own insurance.
00:05:38.340
Like suddenly something won't be connected to something.
00:05:42.580
Or I've got to change my credit card or something.
00:05:51.420
that never needed to be fucked in the first place.
00:06:00.660
Just say the government does all the insurance.
00:06:03.820
And all you have to do is put your name on the list.
00:06:15.940
They just make money like an insurance company.
00:06:32.300
but I don't want to fuss around looking for it.
00:06:36.420
you have to hear Trump use the F word at his rally.
00:06:39.900
Because I don't know if anybody's ever delivered that word
00:07:07.040
but it was something like he was complaining about climate change
00:07:13.100
And he said something along these lines to his big crowd.
00:07:18.580
the oceans will rise 0.0001 inch in 300 fucking years.
00:07:27.980
And the way he said it was just such a perfect use of a swear word
00:07:57.580
So you're getting something that's a little less filtered from me.
00:08:01.000
But I don't think I swear as effectively as he did,
00:08:22.380
which is that 95% of all my trolls are professional writers?
00:08:31.460
Because I called them out whenever they attacked me.
00:08:40.180
There were a lot of people who came after me yesterday.
00:08:44.980
I think 19 out of 20 were actually professional writers,
00:09:02.800
Because until I noticed that 19 out of 20 of them
00:09:08.840
and it was a job that they would look at me as,
00:09:11.580
somebody that they might envy in terms of career success.
00:09:20.720
Obviously, I'm not being criticized by people on the right.
00:10:01.340
And I think the reason that they're bad writers is,
00:11:18.160
Like, I've never been bothered by good writing.
00:12:03.260
Because once you see their profile pictures and stuff,
00:12:17.940
Here are the filters that I would like on Twitter.
00:12:25.040
And I managed to decrease my trolling by about 50%
00:12:37.200
But I think the filter only works on my browser.
00:12:52.240
And I know that there are a whole bunch of people
00:12:59.800
Wait till he sees how I compared him to Garfield.
00:13:15.960
Have you seen this from your trolls and leftists?
00:13:23.880
It'd be like if I said something about the Holocaust being bad.
00:13:40.040
Well, sarcasm doesn't really work in that context.
00:13:53.980
It should be like an exaggeration of the thing or something.
00:13:57.240
But the leftists are all coming in with this misapplied sarcasm,
00:14:04.620
I also want to filter out anybody who's got a Ukrainian flag
00:14:40.720
They're not, you know, less than me, you're worse than me.
00:14:43.840
You know, it's not about their value as human beings.
00:14:56.160
And if I already know what you're going to say,
00:15:00.860
So it has nothing to do with their value as people.
00:15:04.340
It's just, I've already heard what you have to say,
00:15:19.100
So we assume there will be lots of different AIs, right?
00:15:21.980
There won't be one AI that is all the AI everywhere.
00:15:32.000
and you're going to want them to be as smart as possible over time.
00:15:38.980
and there are things that it can go onto the Internet and learn,
00:15:48.580
For example, suppose you wanted to teach your AI
00:15:52.720
to train somebody else how to become a cartoonist.
00:15:57.080
Where would you ever find that on the Internet?
00:16:13.140
it would know how to pick the data out correctly.
00:16:21.300
So I could basically have a little piece of data
00:16:38.060
Would be the only place that you could find it,
00:16:43.160
If it's in a book, it's going to be, you know, the whole book.
00:16:52.560
I've also got one page on how to be a better writer,
00:16:59.100
and probably one page on a number of other things.
00:17:10.540
And there are a whole bunch of situations like that.
00:17:12.540
Yeah, the micro lessons, that's a perfect example.
00:17:45.700
Because I don't want to just make an open database, right?
00:18:04.580
So there'd have to be some kind of automatic licensing.
00:18:07.520
But am I wrong that there are gigantic categories
00:18:35.220
the reason you don't know the inner thoughts of white men
