Time Text
Are you ready for a good time?
Well, you should be.
The news is pretty weird today.
Come on, technology.
There we go.
You were fighting me, but I won.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Bye. you
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup, a mug, or a glass, a tank, or a chalice, a stein, a canteen, jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
It's called the Simultaneous Sip.
It's going to happen right now.
Go. Exquisite.
Well, the news is all kind of small and weird today.
Most of the stories aren't that big, but they're all kind of interesting and weird.
So have some fun today.
Well, according to the New York Times, the White House is trying to figure out how to persuade Americans to get married and have more kids.
Because if we don't, all of America will be destroyed by lack of birth rate.
Some ideas that are floating would be $5,000 baby bonus.
Who would have a baby for $5,000?
You'd have to be really bad at it.
Math or something.
To have a baby for $5,000.
Imagine how bad you'd have to be at math.
It's like $5,000.
Wow! I can raise this baby for 18 years and I've got a little extra left over.
I don't know.
It's going to have to be more than that.
And there's something about reserving Fulbright scholarships for married applicants with children.
I don't know.
That seems small.
But we'll see what they come up with.
I would say it's too early to judge it.
How many of you saw the weird Easter picture of the Biden family posing on some steps to the house?
And it seems obvious that Joe Biden is photoshopped in.
So everybody in the family is dressed casually, as you would for an Easter event.
But then in the back, there's this little stiff...
This little stiff image of Joe Biden wearing his suit and tie on Easter.
Do you think he wore his suit and tie in his own house on Easter?
It's so obviously photoshopped.
It's hilarious.
Anyway, you have to see it.
I guess I couldn't find a good picture of him with a casual shirt on.
So, you know that...
Tesla vandal?
His name is Dylan Adams, no relation.
But apparently he vandalized at least six Tesla vehicles in Minneapolis, and he will not be going to jail.
So they caught him, and they know he vandalized six vehicles for something like $20,000 in damage collectively.
But he's going to be...
Instead of prosecution, he will be up for a diversion program.
A diversion program.
Yeah, that'll fix him.
I assume he's also paying to repair the cars?
Don't you think that should be part of it?
Because I would hate to think that the owner has to repair the car, but the perpetrator gets a diversion program.
I don't know.
We'll have to wait on that.
This one's weird.
Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, she got robbed in a restaurant.
So somebody with a surgical mask came by and grabbed her purse, and even though she has Secret Service, they got away.
How bad is your Secret Service if somebody could get close enough to the Department of Homeland Security head to grab their purse?
And then they can also get clean away.
That's not really good secret servicing, is it?
But the thing that's getting everybody's attention is that the contents of the purse allegedly include $3,000 in cash.
How many of you carry $3,000 in cash with you just casually?
I don't think I ever have.
I don't think there's one time in my entire life.
I've had $3,000 in cash on my body.
I don't have a purse.
And it makes me wonder what the denominations of the money are.
Like when you open the purse, is it all a bunch of ones?
And it's just filled with cash?
Or is it a bunch of hundreds in neat little packages?
And why does anybody need $3,000 in cash if they're a top government official?
Is it for tipping?
If it's for tipping, I don't think your secret service is going to get a tip.
I think they lost their tip.
Anyway, that's weird.
You would not be surprised to learn that...
Remember LeBron James endorsed Kamala Harris?
Well, the endorsement was followed quickly by the Kamala Harris...
Campaign giving $50,000 to his campaign event production company, I guess.
Some production company.
So I don't think LeBron James made money, but the production of his little video endorsing her looks like it was paid for by Kamalaris.
So LeBron's a good negotiator, I guess.
It makes you wonder how much of...
Kamala Harris' support was ever real versus how much was just pure anti-Trump and it didn't matter what she did or what she said.
I don't know.
So there was an organization called Check My Ads that's closing up because they lost their funding.
Now, Check My Ads, according to Mike Benz, who's the expert on all this censorship stuff, It says that Check My Odds is a Soros censorship group formed for the sole and exclusive purpose of bankrupting heterodox media.
Heterodox meaning people that don't agree with the mainstream.
And the way they would do that was they'd go after the advertisers so that the...
The entity they didn't like would get starved of money.
But it turns out that the Check My Ads people were starved of money themselves.
And so they had to close.
Not enough money.
But here's my question.
You know, I've been listening to Mike Benz enough to know that there are just countless NGOs and this whole censorship thing is not just domestic, it's international, but it affects the United States.
How many entities are there whose entire job is to censor heterodox opinions?
Because I'm wondering if it's hundreds.
Is it a dozen?
I really wonder the number because I've never heard of this one before until they closed.
So who knows?
All right.
This next story has to be mentioned.
But I might leave out some details.
How many of you have already seen the news about Kanye West?
He made a little bit of news today.
I'm not even sure how to describe it.
But if you saw it, you know why it's difficult to describe.
So let's just say that when he was under 14, between the ages of 6 and 14, he had a male cousin.
And they were very close.
That's all I'm going to say.
Now, Ye is very direct about what he was doing with that male cousin, so I'm not going to say it.
But he sure knows how to get attention, doesn't he?
If you haven't seen the story, I'll just refer you to the news.
You can Google it.
And it'll pop right up.
If you don't want to see something that might offend you, don't do it.
Don't do it.
If you're sensitive, don't do it.
But yeah, that's the funniest little story today.
You know, on one hand, I appreciate his transparency.
It does seem to me that if people have been in that kind of situation, and there's not exactly one like that, but...
People have been in situations where there were children and something went terribly wrong in that domain.
I'm being as general as I can.
I feel like it's good for them to go public.
On the other hand, you'll always see him that way.
Like, I'll never be able to look at Ye again and not think of this story every single time.
So there's that.
So RFK Jr. is making his move to get rid of artificial food dyes.
Can we maybe stop making this news?
Is this like the fifth or sixth time I've told you he's going to get rid of food dyes?
But I guess he's close to making it happen now.
So we'll see.
I also wonder...
You know, it's one thing for RFK Jr. to be getting rid of stuff that's dangerous for us, and Europe doesn't allow it.
But I wonder if he's focusing on getting rid of stuff, additives to our food, that make it impossible for us to sell our food in Europe and other places.
So that would be the win-win, right?
To get rid of the stuff that might be dangerous, but also to open up markets, because Europe would have to say, okay, I guess we can buy your food now.
Because Europe always plays the game of, oh, you got some extra stuff in there.
I don't know about that.
We can't buy that.
It's more of a protectionist thing, I think.
Well, Harvard is going to sue the government.
They are suing the government over the funding freeze because they say it's unlawful and beyond the government's authority.
So the president of Harvard...
Is saying that if the government normally would have given them $9 billion, that freezing it is illegal.
To which I say, I'm no lawyer, but does the government have to give you $9 billion?
Under what situation would they have to do it?
It seems like that should be optional just by its very nature.
$9 billion?
Now, do they have some kind of contract?
Because it's not mentioned.
If they had a contract, then I would say the government should have to perform to the contract.
But I don't think so.
I think they just want their money and the government doesn't want to give it to them.
So, what kind of case is that?
I guess we'll find out.
If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend watching an interview and I...
I didn't catch the name of the interviewer, but there's a gentleman who I'm guessing is a Democrat, and he's got long, dark hair, and he's doing a really good job of interviewing Elizabeth Warren and asking her, did she really not notice that Biden was declining in mental acuity?
Now, you have to watch it because she's lying so poorly that it's hilarious.
So he asked, this was one of the questions, so he had a few follow-ups.
He said, do you think he was as sharp as you?
Which is a clever way to put it.
And she actually had to stifle a laugh.
Do you think he was as sharp as you?
And she's like, well.
Now, we don't know what she was thinking.
So she might have been thinking it was just a clever question, and she laughed.
But it made it look like her answer was a little less credible.
And then she said, quote, I said I had not seen his decline.
He was sharp and on his feet.
And then the questioner quite rightly says, that's sort of faint praise, isn't it?
That he was sharp and on his feet.
Would you say that about anybody else?
Is there anybody else in the world that you would give him credit for being standing up?
And she laughed.
Wendy called her out because she knew that basically she was totally nailed.
So she's a terrible liar and said she didn't notice the difference between 2021 Biden and 2024.
But of course, everybody did.
So I always recommend when you know somebody's lying, because you don't always know, sometimes you think, well, that's what they believe.
You know, I don't believe it's true, but they believe it's true.
But sometimes you know they're lying, and that's where you can learn how to spot liars.
So I would recommend that you watch it just to learn, you know, look at the body language, look at her reactions, and it's just so obvious she's lying.
And I think that she's lying so obviously that she's amusing herself.
I feel like she was actually laughing at her own answers.
Because they're so ridiculous.
Of course everybody knew he was declining.
Well, Larry David, actor, I guess you'd call him actor, writer, Larry David, I guess he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times slamming Bill Maher for having dinner with Trump.
And the title of the article is My Dinner with Adolf.
Now, did he really need to do that?
Was that necessary?
To me, that's just so over the line, you know, of policing his own side and saying you can't talk to people.
So over the line, completely over the line.
The Republicans don't do that, do they?
Although I have seen people in the comments do that.
Don't have any connection with these darn Democrats.
I think that's always the wrong impulse.
But it makes me wonder how many of the Trump hoaxes Larry David fell for.
Do you want to make a bet that he believes the fine people hoax?
I'll betcha.
Do you want to make a bet that he believes 18 out of 20 of the top Trump hoaxes?
Bet he does.
So that would be the challenge I would give to Larry David.
Do you even know what's happening?
Do you have any idea?
That you're living in this weird little bubble that's completely artificial.
Well, the Democrats are trying to make something out of this MS-13 alleged Maryland dad.
And so the Democrats spin on it is that Trump is starting with this guy.
He's not a citizen.
But what he really wants to do, Trump does, is deport Americans to foreign prisons.
I saw somebody on ABC this week saying that, one of the Democrat pundits.
So what do you think?
What do you think are the odds that Trump actually wants to deport American citizens to foreign jails and just sort of pick them up and deport them?
I would say the odds of that are approximately zero.
But he did say it twice.
So why does he say it?
I think it's just a mistake.
Yeah. I think he was just sort of spitballing.
I don't think there's any real chance that Republicans would be okay with him picking up an American citizen and sending them to a jail.
I mean, there might be some weird exception where he's like Silence of the Lambs or something.
But not ordinary people.
Who committed crimes or didn't commit crimes.
So I'm going to assign this to the Department of Imaginary Concerns.
However, I will note that it's not based on nothing.
It's not based on nothing.
Because he did say it twice.
And he's going to have to explain what he means if he says it twice.
So we'll see.
So as you know, Signal Gate 2 is raging.
The idea that P. Hegseth not only had some battle plans and the first signal messages that the reporter saw, but that separately, he had one that his brother and his lawyer and his wife saw.
So there's two signal gate dramas.
Now, I don't think either one of them is important, and the inside news is that Trump doesn't want to give anybody a win.
It would be too easy.
If they could get rid of Hegseth based on some signal messages, that would be pretty weak.
So Trump is allegedly sticking with Hegseth and does not want to give the other side that easy win.
But here's the thing that jumped out at me.
So there's an article in Politico, an op-ed, by John Olyott.
So he had been the acting assistant to Hegseth for public affairs, but he resigned last week.
Now, in the piece, Olyott said in Politico that there's, quote, total chaos at the Pentagon, and the building is in disarray under Hegseth, and Trump deserves better.
Here's my new rule.
Anybody who says chaos in that context, that's just propaganda.
So you can immediately just discount it.
Yep, plenty of chaos.
Do you know who else has chaos?
Every business unit you've ever known.
If you're working in a big company and you don't know the full strategy and you don't understand what's happening next, don't you think it's chaos?
Chaos is the most generic, unprovable statement you could ever make.
It's pure propaganda.
If he wanted to say something is wrong, he would give details.
For example, he might say, people are not sharing important information with each other.
Well, that would be a problem.
You might say, everybody's quitting.
Well, that'd be a problem.
But if you say it's chaos, Or total chaos at the Pentagon, and everything's in disarray, you know that's not true.
You know it's not even a little bit true.
It might be true that people can't anticipate what Trump's going to do, but do we consider that a flaw or a feature?
So as soon as you see chaos, they're just on a team.
And it looks like, now this is based also on Tucker Carlson having an interview with Former Defense Department official Dan Caldwell, who was accused of leaking some important stuff,
but he says he was never accused of that.
He was just fired.
And according to Dan Caldwell, there's not even an accusation that he did it, so he doesn't even know what it's about.
But he was one of the people who was anti-war with Iran.
So you might say to yourself, hmm, are they trying to get rid of Pete Hegseth because of his views on Iran?
Are they trying to get rid of, or did they get rid of, Dan Caldwell because of his views on Iran?
And is the play that's happening now that anybody who's against war with Iran is getting picked off with one rumor after another?
Is that what's happening?
I don't know.
But it looks like it.
I mean, it's got that odor to it, but I don't know.
So that's what I think.
According to Dan Caldwell also, Susan Rice, who, as you know, was Obama's right-hand person, is still on the Defense Policy Board.
So it means she doesn't have any authority and can't enter the building and do all the private stuff.
But apparently it gives her some kind of platform to interact with all the Pentagon people.
Why in the world is Susan Rice still in any government position that involves interacting with Pentagon people?
And can you even believe it?
Now, she might say it's more ceremonial or she doesn't go to meetings or something.
So we don't know the details there, but it sure looks sketchy to me.
All right, here's the dog that's not barking about Iran.
So, you know, I like to look for the thing that should be there, but suspiciously isn't.
So if there's something that should be in the story, but suspiciously isn't, that tells you something.
All right?
And here's the thing that should be in the story.
We're all talking about whether or not the U.S. should be part of an attack on Iran.
But there are no polls.
Showing American opinion on that.
No recent ones.
Is that obviously missing?
Just think about it.
It's probably the most important question we have for life and death of whether we would do it.
And there's no poll to show what the popularity is.
Do you know why there's no poll?
I'm just guessing it wouldn't be popular.
Now, I think the answer to the poll has everything to do with how you ask it.
So if you say something like, do you think we should bomb the nuclear sites?
You'll get like 56% will say, yeah, probably we should.
We don't want them to have a nuke.
But if you ask the question this way, should we attack Iran or rely only on diplomacy?
You would end up with almost nobody saying attack Iran.
They'd say, well, diplomacy, obviously.
You know, as if diplomacy is going to work.
But I would be very curious why there's such an obvious lack of polling on such a vital question.
My guess is that there's quite an organized effort to suppress some points of view and to boost others.
That would be my guess.
According to J.D. Vance, there's some kind of India trade deal coming, but the way he words it makes it sound like it isn't.
So if you read the headlines kind of quickly, you'd say to yourself, whoa, looks like India and the United States are going to have a trade agreement really fast, and that could be really good because it would calm markets and it would maybe get something going where the other countries get on board faster.
But here's what J.D. Vance says.
It says the U.S. and India have officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade agreement, trade negotiation.
The terms of reference, I've never even heard that term.
They're going to finalize, they've officially finalized the terms of reference.
I think that what that means is they've decided how they're going to talk about it, or what's in and what's out.
I don't even know what it means, but I'll tell you what it doesn't mean.
It doesn't mean that you're close to a deal.
This is signaling to me that they want to make it sound like they're close to a deal, but they're not close to a deal.
You wouldn't use that.
You wouldn't use that terms.
You wouldn't say they finally is the terms of reference.
You'd say we almost have a deal, something like that.
Well, apparently, speaking of deals, there's a massive Chevron project that looks like it's going to go forward in the Gulf of America.
So there's a gigantic oil and natural gas.
Reserved there.
And Chevron's going to go after it.
75,000 gross barrels of oil daily.
So, you know, Breitbart is reporting on this.
Now, does it seem to you that maybe everything will depend on our energy business?
Because it's the only thing that you could scale up that has massive dollars involved with it.
So, maybe?
We can massively scale up our energy production, and maybe that would help our GDP enough to take a bite out of our debt.
Maybe. Doesn't seem like enough by itself, but it's good to hear it.
Well, according to the post-millennial, Trump met with the CEOs of Target, Walmart, Lowe's, and Home Depot, talking about the tariffs.
And one of the things that...
What caught my mind is that CNBC apparently said that Walmart might be in better shape than the others because around two-thirds of what the company sells is made, grown, or assembled in America.
Two-thirds?
Does that seem like high to you?
That two-thirds of Walmart's products are made, grown, or assembled in America?
I think there might be a trick in that number.
And the trick might be it includes assembled.
Assembled means you're getting the parts probably from somewhere else.
Could that be China?
So I don't believe these numbers at all.
I think it's all too complicated to know what percentage.
Anyway, so that's happening.
According to Interesting Engineering, Scientists have figured out how to extract rare earth minerals from hard drives.
So if you've got an old hard drive that you're recycling, they can now stick it in some juice and take out the rare earth minerals.
Now, I don't know how much they can get from hard drives, but they can get most of what's in there.
So they can get about, I don't know, 90% or something of all the rare earth minerals that are already in there.
So that could be a big deal.
Apparently the U.S. gets half of its rare earth minerals from China.
How long would it take to figure out how to use recycling to get that half taken care of?
I don't know if that's doable.
That's probably a big number.
According to TSMC, the big chip maker out of Taiwan, Ars Technica is reporting that There's no way, really, they can keep China from getting the good chips, because I guess the world is too complicated.
So once they sell their chips, they can't control where it ends up.
So they're basically warning us, we can't really control China not getting the chips.
So apparently we have a situation where China can definitely control whether we get the rare earth minerals, but we can't control whether they get high-end chips.
So that's not perfect.
Anyway, China is also ending private equity investments in the United States.
The government told their private equity investment people stop investing in the U.S. It looks like it's happening.
I saw this in the Kobay-Ice letter.
Kobay-Ice.
But there was also something in the Kobay-Ice account that struck me as interesting.
Now, I can't guarantee that these claims are accurate, but here are six things that the Kobayesi account says.
Stocks, and remember, this is not about today specifically, it's in general.
Stocks are falling like the trade war is escalating, but the U.S. dollar is falling like trade dealers are near.
Oil prices are falling like rate cuts are not coming.
Gold prices are rising like rate cuts are on the way.
Tech stocks are falling like we're entering a recession.
Treasury yields are rising like the economy is strong.
Now, I don't know about any of those claims.
Some of them look sketchy to me.
But the bottom line is that the market has no idea what to do.
But I'm not sure how big a problem that is.
Because if you don't know where to put your money, it's just going to sort of slosh around in the usual places.
So if you took some of your stock market money and put it in gold, you might end up moving it back into the stock market later.
So it feels like just stuff is just sloshing around in the usual places.
It's not leaving the United States except for the Chinese investments.
So I do wonder how much of a risk we're really at with this chaos.
You know, nobody knows what to do, but nobody ever knows what to do.
I mean, maybe what's different is that we know we don't know.
There's never been a time when you could be sure that your investments in anything were going to be good, right?
Has that ever existed?
No. We've had the illusion of predictability.
We've never had predictability.
Nobody knows what the stock market is going to do next year or in five years.
Never have.
But suddenly we're acting like it's a new situation.
Oh, suddenly we don't know what's going to happen with everything.
No, that was always the case.
We never knew what was going to happen with anything.
We just talked ourselves into thinking we knew.
We don't.
We have no idea what's going to happen.
Anyway, I've been watching the Trump versus Powell, head of the Federal Reserve.
And, you know, I have to admit, That it didn't seem wise for Trump to go after him because it's just going to harden his stance and he's just going to get mad and won't do anything he wants.
But I do agree with Trump that it would be the right time to lower interest rates and get ahead of the tariffs because the tariffs are going to have some drag on the economy, but lowering interest rates would boost the economy.
So if you're doing a major play with tariffs, Wouldn't it be exactly the right time to do a little boosting on interest rates?
Even if it's just a little bit, just directionally.
Yeah, the stock market would come roaring back, etc.
So I feel like Trump has the right instincts on this.
That if he can't control the interest rates, Trump, and Powell does, that he doesn't have all the mechanisms he needs to make everything work.
So I think a lot depends on whether he can convince Powell to lower interest rates.
Now, Trump is accusing Powell of always being too late and also helping Harris and Biden by coincidentally lowering rates or something when it was a key political time to do that.
So I don't know about that.
But it turns out that O'Keefe Media Group, OMG, Just got a brand new video of a Fed economist who was describing Jerome Powell's legacy as,
quote, somebody who held the line against Trump.
And he said that the Fed under Powell began focusing on wealth inequality and climate change.
Holy cow.
Is that true?
That Powell will be most known for resisting Trump?
As opposed to doing the right thing.
And wealth inequality and climate change?
How much impact does he have on any of that stuff?
That is really scary.
It just makes him look incompetent, doesn't it?
If he's worrying about anything except his main job, he needs to be fired.
But apparently, I don't think there's any legal way to fire him.
I think Trump's looking into it, but I suspect there isn't.
And maybe it's a good thing.
I don't know.
So, Ron Johnson, Republican.
He cited an interview recently that he's interested in having hearings on September 11th.
And the terrorist attacks indicated he's listening to basically stories that suggest that 9-11 wasn't what he thought it was.
But here's how the Hill refers to it.
All right, so this is The Hill.
They said blah, blah, blah, and indicated that he's been listening to long-festering and debunked conspiracy theories about the government's alleged involvement.
Now, who says that?
If you're The Hill and you're a writer for The Hill, do you know what is long-debunked?
You may have seen a debunk, but you may have also seen other claims.
How do you know that debunk is better than the claim?
Are you a structural engineer?
Or are you just a writer who is being influenced by who knows who to act like it's just a done deal, it's a conspiracy theory, everything's debunked?
I don't think we live in that world anymore, do we?
Now, my own view is that I don't have any specific...
Conspiracy theory beliefs about 9 /11.
But I do believe that 100% of our history is fake.
I just don't know which part of 9 /11 is fake.
Definitely some part of it is fake.
Would you agree?
But we don't know which parts.
It could be that the buildings fell naturally, but that maybe somebody else was involved in the op that we don't know about.
It could be anything.
But I'll tell you what you shouldn't say in 2025 if you want to be credible.
You shouldn't say that something is a debunked conspiracy theory.
Because debunked doesn't mean anything anymore.
Do you know what was also debunked?
A lot of things that were true.
So, you know, when I see an article that says something's debunked, I automatically go, hmm, it sounds like propaganda.
That doesn't sound like news.
News would be it's a highly contentious question, but experts have said that there's nothing to it.
That would be fair.
But to say it's debunked?
No, too far.
Too far.
Well, apparently the Kremlin is happy about Trump administration saying that they don't want Ukraine to be a member of NATO ever.
And So they're happy about that, but I guess we're waiting for Zelensky to respond to a package of proposals to see if there's anything there.
Now, I've said this before, but there's something weird about this.
If Trump gave away the option of NATO, that would be very un-Trump-like.
He should keep that as a negotiating chip.
And make a deal in which it's part of the larger deal.
But if he gives it away first, and then he starts negotiating, why would he give away that leverage?
Seems weird.
That's called negotiating with yourself.
Where somebody says, well, do you have a better offer?
And then you just go back and improve your offer.
Never do that.
You should wait for them to make an offer.
Then maybe you could meet them in the middle.
But you never...
You never want to just say, here's that thing you want, now let's start negotiating.
So there's something about this I don't understand.
So there may be more of a secret agreements that we don't know about yet that later we'll know about.
So we'll see.
According to interesting engineering, there's now an invention that's a rice-sized micro-robot.
That they can insert into your brain, and it can crawl around through your brain and fix it.
So if you've got issues in your brain, they can put this tiny little robot the size of rice in it, and it will just like...
And it will find its way.
It uses rotating silicone rings to gently part brain tissue without causing cellular damage.
It's a French startup.
I'm going to say I don't want to go first.
Yeah, I don't want to go first.
So if somebody else would like to try that out, I welcome you.
And after 10 million people have done it successfully, I might try it.
I might try it if I had any brain problems.
Well, speaking of robots, there's now an invention of a robot nose.
This is also interesting engineering.
So they've...
So there's been a development of a nose that can...
Let's see who did this.
In Japan, I guess.
A Japanese company.
They built a mechanical nose that can identify a whole bunch of different smells.
Now, I've been saying for many years that if robots could learn to smell, it's going to be a whole new world.
Because imagine what a robot could smell.
We don't know how good it would be.
But if they got it to the point where it's like a bloodhound, the robot could come into a crime scene and it could even identify who was there just by the smell.
So, you know, imagine the robot goes into the crime scene, just sniffs everything, including the victim, but it's got some extra smells.
Then when they find the potential perp, the robot just smells them, said, oh yeah, that's the same smell that was in that room.
They're guilty.
So I don't know how far this robot-smelling stuff can go, but it could be fun.
Well, I've seen a million articles about how the gut microbiome affects all kinds of behaviors and, you know, conditions.
But there's a very small trial, according to the New Atlas, that found out that fecal transplants Can reduce the symptoms of autism.
Now, it doesn't cure it, of course, but apparently there's some substantial decrease in symptoms.
So they're going to move to phase three human trials.
So apparently this whole microbiome thing, one way to think of it is that your stomach and your brain are one unit.
If you don't have the microbiome right, the brain doesn't work right.
I've always said that your body is your brain, but most specifically, probably your gut.
So when you have a gut feeling about something, it's probably real.
According to Korea Biomedical Review, I'm not sure I believe anything that's coming out of South Korea science, but they've got an AI now that they say can identify ADHD.
With 97% accuracy by looking at your retinal imaging.
So it can look at your eyeball and it can tell if you have ADHD.
Do you believe that?
Oh, I don't know.
I feel like it might be a way to get more ADHD patients to give them drugs or something.
I'm not sure I believe that you can identify ADHD through an eyeball.
I don't believe it.
But maybe.
Maybe. All right.
I told you it was a bunch of weird little stories today.
That's all I got for you.
If anything big happens, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
But I'm going to talk to the locals people privately a little bit.
And the rest of you, thanks for coming.
I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place, if you're on X or Rumble or YouTube.
