Long time Scott Adams watcher here.
His whole thing is about persuasion. The point he's trying to make is that confirmation bias and wishful thinking affects humankind in general.
Note that he is VERY anti-Q. He's simply saying, "these people will selectively choose what outrages them (very fine people) but then will turn and point to the theories of the other side (Q) and say "NONSENSE!"
Correct.
His replies can be very much multi-deimensional here - which is he beauty of someone with a mind like his.
Personally, I don't like him much. I do, however, respect his ability to work things provocatively. That's a skill that can lead to discussion and debate instead of solidification in one's side - a rare trait. My Grandpa called it "Calling out absurdity is a talent and the hard part is not letting your personality encroach on what you say."
Like I said. I don't like him yet I can more often than not see his posts as less than useless.
^^^ Exactly this.
Scott is an interesting one. It might have been on TDW (a while ago) where I had an interesting convo about him.
Basically; Scott has a very weird form of logic and reasoning. Because of how he views everything thru his little "persuasion" filter; he could be literally sitting at a table with a fucking real deal, live alien & he'd say "well, is this really an alien or are your eyes persuading your brain that you see an alien?"
He's smart, but weird..... and yes; he's definitely very anti-Q.
