Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:11.420
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, because that's what we're going to do.
00:00:15.480
And it's a Sunday fun day where the news is all more laughable than serious.
00:00:20.320
And all you need to do to take this day up to a level that nobody can even understand
00:00:24.700
with their puny human brains, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of a tanker
00:00:29.920
and a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:33.920
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:36.520
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope bean.
00:00:39.040
At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:40.680
It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.
00:00:56.560
Thanks to the Prince of Fakes, or also known as Bri.ai on the X platform,
00:01:04.520
there is now an AI that is built on my personality.
00:01:09.200
I don't know if it's my personality or just my voice.
00:01:12.560
But I listened to the creator of it have a conversation with me while I wasn't there.
00:01:19.460
Now, I think this idea of having the ability to imitate anybody's voice really has some legs.
00:01:31.940
Because if you have not heard the mashup of, if you haven't heard Tucker Carlson,
00:02:09.280
Do you remember when we used to think that you would get information?
00:02:14.280
And now, instead of missing information, I have misinformation.
00:03:12.840
it was a software to help you protect your privacy,
00:46:49.660
And it guarantees that the cartels will have free reign.
00:46:55.140
Because what do you think about the fact that Ken Paxton,
00:47:01.220
the attorney general for Texas, his framing is that
00:47:12.960
That he's not going too much further than that.
00:47:17.040
I'm saying that there's only one explanation for what we see.
00:47:20.480
If somebody wants to offer a second explanation, I'm all ears.
00:47:25.820
I would love to be wrong and find out that our intelligence people are not
00:47:32.840
I would love to find out that they don't intentionally let them bring in drugs and
00:47:37.640
traffic and, you know, traffic in humans as well, because they're getting some other
00:47:43.060
Today, coincidentally, I saw a story that said the cartels have started to violate their
00:47:51.260
own unwritten rule, and they started to do some violence around the resort industry.
00:48:02.040
So, apparently, the story says that the cartels have killed some people near or around resorts
00:48:08.880
and that they used to have an unwritten agreement that they stayed away from the resorts.
00:48:16.780
Do you know why they stayed away from the resorts?
00:48:19.800
The resorts in Mexico are their primary business.
00:48:24.140
I think the resort industry is the biggest or one of the biggest.
00:48:27.160
So, Mexico, as a government, can't really survive without tourism.
00:48:31.520
Do you wonder if the cartels are working with the government?
00:48:37.520
Yeah, the government wants the resorts to work so they don't get attacked by the cartels
00:48:46.360
It's very obvious that the cartels run the government because it's a story that they broke
00:48:54.740
Now, can you point to a story in which a cartel attacked an American corporation operating in
00:49:04.420
Does General Electric have any operations in Mexico?
00:49:11.300
And wait, does General Electric still own NBC or did they sell it?
00:49:26.720
But the point is that if American companies want to be unmolested in Mexico, and of course
00:49:33.080
they do want that, it probably requires having a deal with the cartels that they won't blackmail
00:49:40.720
Instead, they'll do their bad business in other domains, and they'll just let them do it.
00:49:51.120
So, maybe everything is exactly what it looks like.
00:49:59.100
If things were exactly what they look like, how would you describe the world?
00:50:05.640
What it looks like is the elections have been rigged forever, and we're just finding out about
00:50:10.700
What it looks like is that the news is completely fake, maybe always was, but we're finding out
00:50:18.460
it's just, you know, Intel and Democrats, blah, blah, blah.
00:50:22.680
What we're finding out, I think, is that it's not so much Democrat versus Republican, it's
00:50:29.320
always getting rid of the populists, because the populists are the ones who are going to
00:50:35.100
And war seems to be the business of the United States, it's the primary economic engine, and
00:50:41.740
it seems to be driving our foreign policy completely.
00:50:51.980
If it's exactly what it looks like, what is it?
00:50:55.880
Well, what it looks like is a gigantic, you know, op.
00:51:05.100
Because you could get there without any coordination.
00:51:09.360
You could easily get to the same place just by science being corrupt, and people wanting
00:51:14.520
to keep their jobs and groupthink and all that.
00:51:17.940
But it looks like science is completely corrupted, and I think climate change looks different
00:51:27.640
What was the number one argument in favor of climate change being just what the scientists
00:51:32.380
Tell me, what was the number one argument that climate change was true?
00:51:37.200
The number one argument that climate change is a big, big problem is that scientists wouldn't
00:51:49.020
And they couldn't have that many scientists who were wrong.
00:51:51.880
Now, we've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, scientists will lie to you.
00:52:07.860
Now, I got to admit, this was a blind spot for me for a long time, because I couldn't understand
00:52:15.280
why there wouldn't be more whistleblowers in the normal course of life.
00:52:23.480
But you saw with the pandemic that being a whistleblower just, you know, got you crushed.
00:52:27.800
So, yes, there's a systemic pressure against whistleblowing that's more extreme than maybe
00:52:41.040
So, if you just take what you learn from the pandemic, that, yes, all the scientists can
00:52:46.580
be wrong and even know it and lie to you anyway.
00:52:52.880
Then you look at climate change and you go, oh, okay.
00:53:02.060
So, either, so here are your two hypotheses that you have to compare.
00:53:08.060
Number one, that scientists cannot be, you know, corrupted by their economic benefit.
00:53:24.660
But then, in order to believe that climate change is still exactly what they said, knowing
00:53:29.860
that the collective group of them could all be liars very easily, I mean, just trivially
00:53:41.920
That's a question that's been asked and answered.
00:53:49.320
Now, is that impossible to believe that they would all be lying?
00:53:54.280
Didn't believe it before the pandemic, but we all believe it now.
00:53:59.300
Now, we have to compare that to the alternative hypothesis.
00:54:03.240
The alternative hypothesis is that scientists can accurately measure the temperature of the
00:54:17.460
Now, there was a point when you thought that sounded realistic, didn't you?
00:54:28.240
The strongest argument is look at everything you've ever seen everywhere in your entire life.
00:54:35.300
Look at every group activity, everything the government's tried to do, everything your big
00:54:48.360
And then tell me that you believe that we can accurately measure the temperature of the
00:54:54.380
planet to within a tenth of a degree over time.
00:55:04.760
But it's easier to, you know, say it out loud because now the experts have been so thoroughly
00:55:10.640
The news is obviously corrupt and science is not really something you should trust these
00:55:19.260
I said in 2015 or 16, I said that Trump would change more than politics.
00:55:35.740
Every bit of what you understand about the world that maybe you didn't understand before.
00:55:40.780
I know a lot of you were there early, but the things you were suspecting were completely
00:55:49.840
So, knowing that the news is not real just changes everything.
00:55:56.480
Knowing that science can be completely fake and easily and trivially easily, even if they're
00:56:14.400
And I think that the two likely outcomes for the election are that Trump wins by a large
00:56:24.940
The other possibility is that the intelligence people working with Democrats rig it so obviously
00:56:34.200
that it also reveals all the past rigging at the same time.
00:56:38.700
I do believe the most likely outcome is that they will try to massively rig the election.
00:56:48.200
But only if they see that it's within, you know, close enough to make a difference.
00:56:57.020
I think the one statement that sums up the last, I don't know, five to seven years is everything
00:57:11.160
I'm not going to go so far as the moon landing is fake.
00:57:15.380
And I don't think the airplanes are putting chemtrails in the air to kill you or anything.
00:57:21.240
I don't believe that there are underground bunkers under all the Walmarts or whatever it
00:57:31.140
But I think the, let's say, the political conspiracy theories, they all look true.
00:57:37.880
Political conspiracy theory, you know, the CIA is working with the cartels, probably true.
00:57:51.140
The reason for the Ukraine war, probably just warmongers making money.
00:57:56.060
I mean, the war in Ukraine feels to me like two gas stations having a fistfight.
00:58:05.340
I feel like the only reason we're in Ukraine is because our energy business requires it.
00:58:18.620
And if you're willing to send your son or daughter over there, you're crazy.
00:58:24.720
But if the Ukrainians want to do it, well, I guess if they want to.
00:58:41.980
All right, everybody on the X platform and Rumble and YouTube, too.
00:58:49.200
And I will see you tomorrow, same place, for more fun on Monday.
