# ☕ The Scott Adams School — September 1, 2026**Happy September!** 🍂☕ It’s the first day of September, and the **Home Team** is back at The Scott Adams School with another wide-ranging morning conversation.Today we’re bouncing around the news cycle with a little **Iran**, the latest surrounding **Lindsay Clancy**, **truckers**, **Massie dropping Epstein names**, and plenty more.As always, grab your coffee and join us for the **Simultaneous Sip** as we look at the stories of the day through the lenses Scott taught us so well: persuasion, framing, pattern recognition, and occasionally asking, “Wait…what exactly are we looking at here?”## A Note About Our ChatWe love that this community has become part of so many people’s morning routine. We want the chat to feel like a place where you can have your coffee, talk about the show, disagree with each other, laugh, learn something, and enjoy the company.**Disagreement is absolutely welcome. Disrespect is not.**A small number of people have developed a habit of responding to nearly everything with personal snark, insults, cheap shots, or comments designed to make themselves the center of attention. That changes the experience for everyone else, and we’re not going to let a few people hijack a community that thousands of others enjoy.**The Scott Adams moderation team is actively watching the chats.**If you personally attack or repeatedly disrespect a **host, guest, moderator, or another member of the community**, you may be **muted**. You’ll still be able to watch the show, but you won’t be able to participate in the conversation.**First offense: temporary mute.Second offense: you may be permanently blocked from the channel.**This isn’t about demanding agreement. Argue the idea. Challenge the premise. Tell us why you think we’re completely wrong. That’s part of what makes the School interesting.But if your contribution is consistently hostility, personal sniping, or making the chat about you, this probably isn’t the room for it.**Be interesting. Be funny. Be skeptical. Be opinionated. Just treat people like human beings.**## ❤️ Help Support the SchoolIf you enjoy spending your mornings with us, please **LIKE and SUBSCRIBE**. It makes an enormous difference in helping new people discover the show.And **share The Scott Adams School with a friend**.

## The Scott Adams School – Friday, August 28, 2026Fri-YAY!

## The Scott Adams School — Thursday, August 27, 2026Today we welcome back a **Scott Adams School favorite, philosopher extraordinaire Stefan Molyneux!**We never quite know where a conversation with Stefan is going to take us, which is exactly why we love having him here.Today we want to explore **philosophy and persuasion**. Do the two work together? Does philosophy need persuasion in order to spread good ideas, or should a sound philosophical argument be able to stand entirely on its own? And what happens when the most persuasive argument isn’t necessarily the most philosophically sound one?We’ll also ask Stefan about his upcoming **Word War Debate**, including the intriguingly titled **“God vs. God?”** matchup, what exactly he’ll be debating, how he’s preparing for it, and how you can watch or attend.And then, naturally, we’ll see where the conversation takes us. With Stefan, making a rigid agenda seems almost philosophically indefensible anyway.### A reminder about our chatWe **love an engaged chat**. Debate, disagree, challenge ideas, make your case, and have fun. That has always been part of this community.But there is an important distinction between **challenging an idea and attacking a person.****Scott Adams, Inc. has moderators overseeing the chat**, and the policy is straightforward:**First strike:** If you personally insult or attack a host, guest, or another member of the chat, moderators may place you on a **temporary mute**. You’ll still be able to watch the show, but you won’t be able to comment during that restriction.**Second strike:** If the behavior happens again after your mute is lifted, moderators may **block you from the account altogether.**Please remember that **these are Scott’s friends and Scott’s invited guests.** Think of it as being welcomed into Scott’s house. You can disagree with somebody sitting at the table. You don’t get to insult them from across it.Strong opinions are welcome. **Personal attacks, petty digs, and snide insults are not debate**, and they won’t be allowed to spoil the experience for everyone else.This policy comes from **Scott Adams, Inc.** and is handled by the moderation team.### Help support the SchoolPlease **LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE the show** with your friends.
