All the lazy podcasters are sleeping in today, but not me, and not you either.
00:00:08.100
So let's get our comments working here, and then we'll have some fun.
00:00:13.100
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:31.020
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
00:00:34.860
But if you'd like to try to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:00:43.680
all you need is a cup of mug or a glass of tank or chalice of dine, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:50.800
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:54.300
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:57.880
the thing that makes everything better. It's called a simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:01:14.440
Well, it's Sunday, and usually this happens on Saturday,
00:01:19.800
but today Owen Gregorian will be hosting a Spaces right after the show.
00:01:26.540
Spaces is the audio service that's on the X platform,
00:01:31.060
so if you want to listen to that codex, look for Owen Gregorian,
00:01:42.580
Well, I wonder if there's any science that I didn't need to do because they could have just asked me.
00:01:52.060
Did you know that people who inhaled DMT, they got rapid and lasting antidepressant effects?
00:02:01.780
Do you know how I knew that that was going to be true?
00:02:05.300
Because every single time they try a hallucinogen, it doesn't matter which one,
00:02:10.960
and they tested on depressed people, every single time it works.
00:02:17.980
And not only does it work, it has lasting benefits.
00:02:30.860
hey, what do you think would happen if we give this depressed guy some DMT?
00:02:34.280
Maybe I'd be like, well, I think he'll get happier.
00:02:40.960
You probably saw some of the news that a Mexican naval vessel crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night.
00:02:51.720
Now, the surprising part about this story is Mexico has a Navy.
00:02:59.180
How many of you knew that Mexico even had a Navy?
00:03:15.160
But I think there was some kind of engine problem or something that caused them to smash into the bridge.
00:03:27.740
So I'm not sure exactly how many casualties, but they do have.
00:03:36.840
In a related story, Red State Ward Clark is writing that the Mexican cartels are now dealing in the illicit fish trade.
00:03:50.780
So they're becoming fishermen and they're squeezing out the non-cartel people and, you know, elbowing their way in.
00:04:12.180
Is it because selling fish is as profitable as cocaine?
00:04:22.580
Is it because they have so many recruits who want to join the cartel that they don't have enough cocaine to keep them all busy?
00:04:38.840
You know, only the people with seniority get to do the cocaine.
00:04:43.360
We're going to have to put you on something, you know, sort of an entry-level thing.
00:04:53.660
What kind of exciting criminal activity will I be involved in?
00:05:15.540
If you do a good job in fish, we'll move you to, I don't know what,
00:05:21.100
stealing cars, but eventually you can work your way up to the cocaine business.
00:05:27.180
But seriously, doesn't it seem to you that this is driven by too many people in the cartel?
00:05:33.620
Like, would they really enter the fish business unless they had more people than they had jobs for the people?
00:05:46.300
Well, it's telling us something, but I don't know exactly what it is.
00:05:51.900
Now, I guess you could say that the cartels are just taking over every business in Mexico, and fish are just one of them.
00:06:02.080
Well, there's a company I've told you about before, and I even wrote about it in one of my books, called Climeworks.
00:06:09.420
And it's these giant sucking machines that suck the CO2 out of the air.
00:06:15.640
Oh, no, they'll take all my CO2 and my plants will die.
00:06:25.220
But the idea was they were trying to reduce the risk of climate change by having gigantic machines that suck the CO2 out.
00:06:33.960
But now that they've been running these machines for a while,
00:06:38.060
it turns out that the machines add more CO2 to the...
00:06:58.240
But no, it turns out that they're not that efficient, and it just makes things worse.
00:07:07.060
Or, if you like your CO2 because it's good for plant food, it makes things better.
00:07:12.780
It would be funny if you learned that the plants were growing really well wherever there was a Climeworks machine,
00:07:20.560
because they had added more CO2 than they'd removed from the atmosphere.
00:07:25.840
Does it seem to you that every climate change story now looks different?
00:07:31.620
Is it my imagination, or is climate change sort of as a concept now so debunked that whenever there's a story,
00:07:42.460
it's about something not working or, you know, some estimate that wasn't true or some variable that they forgot?
00:07:51.840
There's something definitely happening in the climate change world.
00:07:55.940
And I like to end this by saying, wait till you find out about the climate models.
00:08:06.380
Because you know, we live in a world where everything from the auto pen, which we'll talk about,
00:08:14.560
to the Mexican Navy, literally just nothing works.
00:08:20.260
But we're supposed to believe that these complicated models predicting the climate for 40 years,
00:08:27.380
we're supposed to believe that those are accurate?
00:08:38.380

00:09:39.280
one of the problems with AI models is they can't read,
00:09:45.860
Now, I guess they can tell time if they do it the digital way.
00:09:58.280
You'd think it would be able to do that easily.
00:10:02.220
So, it's not that it doesn't understand time and calendars,
00:10:25.820
until it turns out to be yet another thing that doesn't work.
00:10:32.120
there's a European firm that's going to use nuclear waste
00:10:40.220
And they're going to have power for a quarter million homes.
00:10:48.340
Now, you knew that this was a potential technology.
00:10:52.720
It's something I've been talking about for years.
00:11:09.240
but they don't have machines that can use the extra 90%.
00:11:47.300
So, you know how we worried about nuclear waste
00:11:52.780
Like, that was the biggest thing people worried about.
00:11:55.320
Where are we going to put all that nuclear waste?
00:12:28.140
Well, Vivek Ramaswamy's bid to become governor of Ohio
00:13:25.480
I don't know if he'll do one or two terms as governor,
00:14:22.760
could you pick any random high-level politician
