Stock market is a little bit down, but we're a little bit up, so that will totally compensate.
00:00:13.200
We seem to have nobody from the other platforms.
00:00:41.880
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:49.980
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's the best thing that ever happened to you.
00:00:54.160
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that no one could even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:01:03.020
all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:16.580
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:27.000
Oh, if you have not experienced the benefit of the simultaneous sip, well, you're missing out.
00:01:44.520
I wonder if there's any science that could have been skipped if they just asked me.
00:01:55.820
Eric Dolan is writing in the Psy Post that psychologists have found out that if you're a politician running for office,
00:02:04.800
you're more likely to get elected if you're an optimist who has specific ideas for solving problems.
00:02:16.840
If you're an optimist who has specific solutions to problems and you're running against a pessimist or someone who has no solutions for problems,
00:02:32.180
Well, I think they could have asked me or any of you, what do you think is better?
00:02:38.440
You're saying that you have solutions to problems or acting like all the problems are permanent.
00:02:47.340
Somebody took some time to find out if there was a difference there.
00:02:55.680
Well, if you're following the saga of the Tesla restaurant to supercharger stations,
00:03:06.480
So, on the surface, it's a story about Elon Musk and Tesla building these cool 50s-looking diners.
00:03:24.620
And it just looks like, oh, that's kind of a nice thing.
00:03:28.640
But the part that makes me curious is that Elon Musk doesn't get involved in things to keep things the way they've always been.
00:03:41.800
So, when he invents a restaurant that, you know, although it's specific to be paired with his supercharger stuff,
00:04:00.180
If you're going to have a restaurant, you're not going to want it to be inefficient or any of that.
00:04:06.960
So, probably, just the fact that Elon Musk is in the restaurant business now, indirectly,
00:04:14.100
probably we're going to see some big improvements.
00:04:17.400
I guess he already sources the ingredients from local farms.
00:04:25.080
But have you seen Travis Kalanick, who used to be the CEO of Uber,
00:04:32.200
but now he's running a startup called Cloud Kitchen.
00:04:40.620
So, instead of having a staff of people in the back room,
00:04:44.200
you could just fill it with ingredients, the robots.
00:04:47.800
And it's like a big industrial, it's more like an assembly line,
00:04:56.040
And there are different robots for different kinds of foods, etc.
00:04:59.260
But, Travis is trying to reinvent the entire food distribution concept.
00:05:10.440
He's looking to make a major change in how we get food and pay for it and all that.
00:05:19.740
Kimball Musk, the brother of Elon, had been involved in indoor farms.
00:05:27.360
I'm not sure if he's still in that business or not,
00:05:34.840
and I would not be surprised to see some robots making food
00:05:49.680
which is different than what Travis Kalanick is doing.
00:05:52.920
His is more like an assembly line robot situation.
00:05:57.360
But, big changes might be coming in how you get your food.
00:06:15.980
They still have to go through some human testing,
00:06:18.820
but it got through an early human trial to show safety.
00:06:38.400
because if you turn off a man's sexual function,
00:06:42.780
it's hard for me to imagine that everything else stays the same.
00:06:52.680
It just seems like something that would have side effects.
00:07:25.080
imagine if you didn't have any accidental babies
