Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization. It's called
00:00:05.240
Coffee with Scott Adams. There's never been a finer moment in your life and
00:00:10.160
it's probably just gonna get better. And if you'd like to take it up to levels
00:00:16.180
that the simulation can only imagine, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a
00:00:21.780
tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it
00:00:26.460
with your favorite liquid I like, coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled
00:00:31.620
pleasure, the dopamine to the day the thing makes everything better. It's called
00:00:47.760
Well, big news out of California. There's some proposed legislation to legalize
00:00:56.460
psychedelics. Not all of them, but they're looking to legalize psilocybin, psilocin, so
00:01:07.700
mushrooms basically, DMT, mescaline, including peyote, and one I never heard of, ibogaine,
00:01:15.060
ibogaine. Has anybody ever heard of that one? How could there be an awesome drug I
00:01:20.600
haven't heard of? Ibogaine? Anyway, the politician who's proposing this is a Democrat named Scott
00:01:32.420
Weiner. Scott Weiner. Now, just clarification, Scott Weiner is an entirely, it's a complete
00:01:42.040
other person. Some people think it's referring to one of my body parts, but no. He's actually a
00:01:49.500
separate, like a complete human with all of his parts. His name is Scott Weiner. I know, it's
00:01:56.760
confusing. It seems like it's about my Weiner, but it's not. That's actually his name. He's a real
00:02:02.980
person. Clarifying. So, I've been laughing about this for two days. Does anybody follow on Twitter
00:02:14.040
Jake Shields? Jake Shields, who's a former UFC MMA fighter, five-time world champion? Does anybody
00:02:24.020
follow him? All right. So, I don't know the whole backstory. All I saw was one few tweets and video,
00:02:35.820
but based on what I can understand, there's somebody named Mike Jackson, who must have been calling Jake
00:02:44.160
Shields a Nazi over social media. So, that's, I'm intuiting that's the concept here. Not intuiting,
00:02:54.280
but, and then the video shows Jake Shields on top of him in a gym, you know, totally subduing him
00:03:05.740
while people are trying to pull Jake off him. And then Jake just tweets this, finally ran into the
00:03:13.520
bitch Mike Jackson. And then he says, he quickly discovered the difference between calling people
00:03:20.320
Nazis in person versus on Twitter. He quickly discovered the difference.
00:03:30.420
Now, as I said when I retweeted it, I disavow all violence. I'm not in favor of violence,
00:03:38.220
but I can't help it when it's funny. I feel like that has to be called out. This is funny violence.
00:03:45.560
Some of the funniest violence you'll see today. So, totally against violence. Don't do any violence.
00:03:54.780
But if you do funny violence, I'm very likely to tweet it.
00:03:59.900
All right. I saw a tweet read by Cabot Phillips about male fertility, saying that in the last 50 years,
00:04:08.340
the average male sperm count has dropped 62%, and testosterone rates are down over 30%.
00:04:15.860
And then he says, we know what's causing the drop, but a few leaders seem interested in talking about it.
00:04:22.720
Do we? Do you think we know what's causing the drop in testosterone?
00:04:27.480
Well, when he says we, I suppose he means doctors or the medical community.
00:04:34.960
But I feel like they might have left down a few, I feel like it's a few notes short of a symphony.
00:04:41.940
So, let me tell you which things he mentions. I see your comments.
00:04:45.560
I'll tell you which things he mentions as clearly related, all right?
00:04:50.180
So, male obesity, would you agree? Male obesity lowers your testosterone.
00:04:56.740
You all knew that, right? And definitely, obesity's up. Okay.
00:05:01.340
So, we'll accept that. Let's see. There's also, what is it?
00:05:11.460
Oh, forever chemicals. I've been hearing this phrase, forever chemicals.
00:05:16.480
Some kinds of plastics and other chemicals, apparently just never disintegrate.
00:05:23.220
And it's getting into our bodies and probably having some suppressive effect on our fertility.
00:05:34.660
All right. So, we've got the men are getting fat, and there's more anxiety.
00:05:46.480
So, men with anxiety might produce less sperm and have less testosterone.
00:05:53.260
So, forever chemicals, and maybe just chemicals in general.
00:05:57.600
Obesity of the men and anxiety are lowering their testosterone.
00:06:31.260
And I don't know if that's scientifically demonstrated.
00:06:36.380
So, I'm not going to say that science supports that.
00:06:39.540
I think the science says, not that it lowers your testosterone,
00:06:44.800
but doesn't it mimic some female hormones is the claim.
00:06:51.340
But the claim is that it mimics female hormones,
00:07:28.940
but that would be another example of chemicals getting into you.
00:07:48.600
The vaccinations happened well after the trend.
00:08:35.620
I'm going to stick to what I think is just factual.
00:09:47.460
who's going to become less attractive over time,
00:32:29.420
because I don't know if they violated any laws.
00:32:57.500
like the things that are not in question at all.
