s if you do anything for a charity, everybody who sees you do it is involved with some other charity too because people involved with charities tend to be involved with more than one. And next thing you know, you're spending all of your time dealing with charities saying, well, why can't you just draw us a picture? It would only take you five minutes. Really, it's just five minutes. Just draw a pi…

How often do you smoke weed? Well, it's every day. It's at least half of the day usually.
Is the UFO news setting us up for something? Okay, now I've seen some people speculate that all of the UFO news is a diversion so that we'll be thinking about that instead of thinking about our taxes going up or something else. I don't think so. So I don't think that anybody is cleverly doing it. I think that UFO stories are just cyclical. They come and they go. And I think it's just that.
Do you think we'll eventually grow meat in skyscrapers, not farms? Yes, yes I do. It doesn't necessarily have to be in a skyscraper, but we'll definitely be growing meat or meat substitutes.
What are the odds that it's the devil? Pretty low.
Here's a good question. Why doesn't China have outbreaks or variants like India with a weak vaccine and no more lockdowns? Yeah, good question, right? Well, can anybody come up with any good reason that China doesn't have a huge outbreak? Because I can't. Now I get that they close the borders, right? But it didn't work anywhere else, did it? Except islands. Can China close borders so effectively that they could just keep the coronavirus out? I don't believe it. But I suppose nothing's impossible. It feels like there's something else going on there, and who knows what that is. I mean, it could be the lack of obesity. It could be that. I don't know what the obesity level is in China, but it's got to be pretty low, right? And I feel like if you didn't have obese people, you wouldn't have the super spreaders. Maybe that's all you need. You know, it would be an interesting experiment. Take one, you couldn't possibly do this, but imagine if you could take one town or county in the United States during the pandemic and remove just temporarily, have everybody who's overweight go just temporarily live in a hotel in another county and don't visit, and see if a county ever has an outbreak if there are no obese people there. Because I think you would still get people infected, of course, but they would be so unspready compared to the obese. Maybe that's the whole story. It could be not that you wouldn't get it. You just wouldn't be as spready if you did.
And then there's of course the thought that there's something about the virus that make

s it especially not viral in China. Well, I wish we could rule that out, but we can't. Why don't I sell Coffee with Scott Adams mugs? You know, I spent a lot of time putting Dilbert on coffee mugs and every damn thing, and I'm just not big on licensing anymore. It's just not fun. How does cannabis help with working out? Oh my God, are you kidding? A workout when you're high is fun. A workout whe…
