Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization while it lasts.

This is coffee with Scott Adams and if you'd like to take this experience up to a level

that I don't think people can even understand all you need is a cup of

maraud gold glass. I'll take a jellous of thyon again, tea,

jagaflask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid,

I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

It's a dopamine hit of the day. The thing makes everything better.

It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

Well, there's all kinds of stuff happening in the world.

All kinds of stuff. We may have an answer to why are we so dumb.

You know, people are always confused, how do they build the pyramids?

And we wouldn't know how to do it today with their tools.

And you think maybe they were just smarter. Maybe we're getting

dumber. Well, there's a new report, scientific report,

that male mice that consumed aspartame, the sweetener that's in a lot of

drinks, for example, soft drinks, had offspring that demonstrated

spatial learning and memory deficits. So basically, aspartame

made mice stupid, aspartame.

Now, am I wrong that that would explain everything we see?

It would explain everything, actually everything.

Now, I don't think it's true, by the way, because studies on mice

are not, you know, they don't often translate to actually human beings.
