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 want to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mugger, a glass of tanker, stein,, a stein, a canteen, juger, flask, a vessel of any kind.

Fill it with your favorite liquid.

I like coffee.

And join me now for the unparallel pleasure.

The dopamine, the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

Go.

I feel smarter with every sip, and so do you.

So do you.

Well, as you know, the big news, tragically, is a jet crashed with an American Airlines regional flight. It was a black hawk jet. And it fell in the

Potomac, I guess. The debris from both. Everybody died. It was a mid-air collision, so there was not

much chance. And they fell in the icy water. So it looks like at least 60 people, which would be all the people on the jet,

and maybe a crew of three, I think.

Not everybody has been located, but there's not much chance at survival, zero, basically.

So we're still in the fog of war period, but people are speculating, how could this happen?

You know, it's such a normal thing for there to be traffic in that part of the world,

and all of that advanced technology should have seen each other.

But that's what people who are not pilots say.

Would you like to hear what a pilot says?

Which is very different from what you and I are saying.

Because here's you and I trying to figure out this situation.

Huh.
