Yeah, he started out about 80% right and made a name for his predictions and insights on persuasion. I was a daily listener (though I always fast forwarded past the idiotic coffee drinking FFS.) He's now been so consistently wrong, for so long, on so many topics, across such a wide spectrum of left and right and everything in between, I never listen to him any more. On the rare occasion he pops up, it's not five minutes before he's saying something hilariously, unbelievably naive or credulous of the established deepstate narrative.

He's not any more gifted at critical thinking than the average educated American, despite his supercilious, smug attitude about it.

EDIT: As someone who has agreed with Scott on a number of things and found his reasoning solid, I wonder how much of agreeing with Scott equals being hypnotized, influenced, or persuaded by him, how much is confirmation bias, and what portion is just understanding and finding accord with someone.
