Since you're all getting in here right on time.
00:00:41.040
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:49.260
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
00:00:52.840
But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels
00:00:58.760
that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:01:02.640
all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice,
00:01:06.720
a tiny canteen jug or flask, a vessel of what kind?
00:01:14.440
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,
00:01:31.440
I think it's more delicious when I sell it harder.
00:01:39.980
Well, I've set up a little trap behind me for the cats who are wandering around.
00:01:47.640
We're going to do a test to see if the cats like laying on the blankets
00:01:55.620
So you can keep an eye on that while I do the show.
00:02:00.040
Gee, I wonder if there's any scientific stuff that they didn't need to do
00:02:15.600
So I did some research to find out that you can unlock autobiographical memories
00:02:25.020
By looking at an image of yourself that the computer makes younger,
00:02:36.640
and while you're looking at the computer screen,
00:02:38.520
the AI will turn it into a young version of you.
00:02:43.860
And then they claim that by looking at the young version of yourself,
00:02:47.940
it triggers better, more extensive memories of your life at that time.
00:03:02.500
Scott, do you think showing a picture of somebody looking youthful
00:03:14.920
But you know what it would definitely increase?
00:03:23.960
If you did this study a hundred times in a row,
00:03:27.640
a hundred times in a row it will create false memories.
00:03:36.920
and richer or deeper than if you hadn't done this?
00:03:42.740
So it's a combination of, yeah, it probably works,
00:03:47.460
but the part that works would be completely buried and obscured
00:03:52.300
by the fact that you would make up all kinds of fake memories
00:04:12.220
and you'll know that that's what's happening here.
00:04:27.460
I usually do the technology news before the big news,
00:04:53.920
But it looks like we've got a deal to release the hostages,
00:06:51.060
that when it comes to these war-related issues,
00:07:02.580
you know, during the middle of the actual fighting
00:07:22.320
where it looks like they're giving hostages back
00:07:39.940
I don't think they care about their hostages that much.
00:07:44.180
because they want to get to the end of the war somehow.
00:07:54.120
And that the secret deals would look something like,
00:08:10.760
and you can leave with your stolen billion dollars.
00:08:37.040
and then who could really stop them from reconstituting?
00:09:18.500
we're going to send you the video of us killing your family.
00:09:22.760
But there's something going on that we don't know about
00:09:38.960
I just don't see how the rest of this gets negotiated
00:10:04.320
It might be the most important part of the peace deal
00:11:46.040
But I would bet against it happening on Friday.
01:34:59.320
There might be more, you know, emmas in the gang and
01:35:03.280
little billies in the gang because everybody has to be in the gang just to
01:35:09.580
So I don't know what that number means, but it's a shocking number.
01:35:13.940
According to the Reese Group, domestic violence in California impacts two-thirds
01:35:24.800
The rest would have some family connection to it.
01:35:28.620
Do you believe that number, that in California, two-thirds of Californians have a domestic violence
01:35:39.780
Well, I don't know how they collect that data, but if they get it from divorcees, it's pretty
01:35:45.620
much every divorcee claims that they were domestically abused, either verbally or otherwise.
01:35:53.920
You know, both the husband and the wife will claim that they were domestic violence victims.
01:35:59.560
Now, I do think domestic violence is a way bigger problem than maybe we all realize.
01:36:05.340
So I'm not doubting the seriousness of it, just to be clear.
01:36:18.220
I just wonder how they get the data, because if the way they got the data is from people
01:36:23.500
who are in divorces, there's a little bit of over-claiming of domestic abuse in divorce.
01:36:33.160
But as soon as you get that divorce, oh, everybody's an abuser.
01:36:40.240
Well, if you don't know that a war with Venezuela is coming, it looks like it is.
01:36:47.960
So the Senate rejected a measure that would have required Trump to seek congressional approval
01:36:54.700
before authorizing further U.S. military action in the Caribbean.
01:37:00.560
So the Senate doesn't want Trump to have to get permission to go to war with Venezuela.
01:37:09.440
What's that tell you about the odds of war with Venezuela?
01:37:13.100
Oh, we're definitely going to have boots on the ground in Venezuela.
01:37:15.500
Now, I hope that when that happens, and it's definitely going to happen, that it's a decapitation
01:37:26.560
What I don't want to see is anything that looks like a ground war, not even a little bit.
01:37:31.920
But if we have an opening, and we can take out the top guy, and maybe, you know, several of the top lieutenants,
01:37:40.820
probably worth doing under the theory that he's really a drug dealer and not a head of state.
01:37:56.080
There's a story in the New York Times about how Ukraine is still the most corrupt place in the world.
01:38:01.180
Now that you know that Ukraine is still one of the most corrupt places in the world,
01:38:06.660
and all the government money is being stolen in different ways,
01:38:13.520
That he's the one who said, we're not giving you any money.
01:38:17.920
If you want to give us money, we'll take it to sell you weapons.
01:38:30.080
Did you know that in the city, the Ukraine city of Kyrgyzstan, that Russia would like to take but hasn't yet,
01:38:38.740
that what they're doing is depopulating the city with drones?
01:38:43.680
So apparently, Kyrgyzstan used to have 300,000 people.
01:38:49.160
And the reporting is that the Russians are using drones with, you know, small explosives like a hand grenade
01:38:57.820
to target and kill civilians so that they'll move out.
01:39:03.460
So that if they ever want to, you know, move in with their own forces and take over the city,
01:39:14.280
If they're down from 300,000 to 65,000, and they showed a video of just some senior citizen in his SUV
01:39:21.440
being targeted by a drone, you know, and he gets, he sees the drone, so he gets out and he runs,
01:39:28.240
and the drone chases him and drops a hand grenade on him.
01:39:37.500
So that very much means that the military is trying to depopulate, just kill the residents.
01:39:46.440
So it looks like there are two parts to the Soviet, Soviet, to the Russian plan.
01:40:01.920
So Ukraine lost one of its thermal power plants in another attack.
01:40:07.800
At the same time, Ukraine is doing the same thing, trying to take out the energy production in Russia.
01:40:14.140
So we have a robot energy war, but also a robot depopulation war using robots.
01:40:24.400
But once the robots clear out the humans from Kursan, then there'll be a robot war in Kursan.
01:40:31.920
Germany apparently is going to allow the police, according to Reuters, to shoot down drones,
01:40:40.400
because they still don't know what is the deal with the drones over Germany or other European countries either.
01:40:46.240
But at least the Germans are going to let the police shoot them down.
01:40:51.700
I think we're going to find out that they're domestic.
01:40:54.580
I think that it's German people with German drones that are just not admitting it's them.
01:41:02.680
So I think some will get shot down, but in the end we will not learn that they were Russian.
01:41:11.440
But I think it's just a little more ordinary that it's domestic.
01:41:14.460
Or maybe most of them are domestic, but Russia had a few.
01:41:18.560
It does make sense for Russia to make Europe a little more nervous by showing them that they have no air control.
01:41:34.060
When we had drones in New Jersey, if Trump had not come out and said that they're ours and I would have to live with the knowledge that we had drones all over our major facilities and we didn't know what to do about it, that would have been scary.
01:41:51.280
So I don't really trust Trump's statement that they're all our drones.
01:41:58.120
I don't think they're aliens, but I would definitely not rule out that some of them were foreign for the very purpose of testing our air defense and or showing us that we don't have one.
01:42:09.000
So I would be okay if Trump or the government lied about the question of whether they're ours.
01:42:23.040
That would be an acceptable government lie because the military is not, they're really not tasked with the truth.
01:42:31.520
They're tasked with lethality and keeping us safe.
01:42:35.020
So, you know, I wouldn't mind that specific lie.
01:42:42.800
All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's all I got for you today.
01:42:48.580
I guess I won't need to talk to the local subscribers.
