Yesterday he gave a poll where only 6% of 55,000 agreed with him. He blasted everyone elae falling for a bleach drinking hoax.
Scott changed his mind in the vaccines safety but continued to believe he was smarter than the unvaccinated because he was wrong for intellectual reasons and the others were right for stupidly.
This man never questions his own reasoning, just a smarmy attack on everyone else.
Does he actually have fans?
I always assumed he had a bunch of bots following him. I am not sure why any person in their right mind would follow that buffoon after the way he tried to rewrite history regarding his stance on vaxx.
His reasoning is weird. From what I could gather, he believes that the best we can do is to view reality through a framework that can more or less predict the future. His framework he calls the "persuasion" framework, and he talks a lot about who is being more or less persuasive and how this will impact events and policy.
The problem is that occasionally, such frameworks break down - if reality slaps you in the face, you can either abandon your framework or cling to it. When everything was fine he'd use his framework and it could be right or wrong but it was more or less sane. But as the clownworld framework started becoming more and more accurate, he started to falter a bit, and with covid it completely collapsed - in no world did he believe that the government could make such a huge misstep as to employ weapons grade societal manipulation to poison their tax and voter base.
The issue isn't that he's not rational, the issue is that he's following a model that's wrong. People who were more cautious with their health won over those who went with the herd. Him lashing out, however is in his own words "Not very persuasive", and so naturally his audience is falling out.
Its sad to see, but I hope he thinks on it all for a while and cools off. He doesn't want to admit he's wrong, and as a result is insulting his fans - a pretty bad move. Anyway, I've babbled for long enough, cheers.
Great summary, I concur. Honestly I thought that, despite all the blather about persuasion, he still understood there are actual immutable facts and truth behind things, and that perceptive people seek these independently. Perhaps there is assistance from experts, but preceptive, inquisitive people will select their experts by more than just promotion or rhetoric, validating truth on their own. He skipped those steps.
He regrets it now, but he's still in denial that his system could be wrong. Very disappointing.
Well said!
Dilbert was funny
So was Peanuts until Charles Schulz grew too old to draw and too bizarre and repetitious to be funny.
I miss Calvin and Hobbes but that Artist may have done the right thing, go out when your on top.
Like Seinfeld. Good choices.
Not sure. He spend a lot of time in 2021 telling everyone to take the jab, and now insists that everyone who says he said that is wrong. It's funny how he rationalizes everything. He's divorced so that means marriage is stupid. Doesn't want to own a home because he finds it hard to organize maintenance. Doesn't think it's him although the rest of society can do those things just fine.
Lol he blocked me on Twitter.
The tweets would be easy to find in his history if they exist. I remember it differently. He never said the wax was safe, nor did he say covid was safe, especially long term. We still don’t know what happens with covid infections long term.
For Scott the wax was a way to take a trip to a beautiful island with his young beautiful wife. Bad luck followed as he lost both his wife and health. You can call it a gamble. Many of us would have gambled those odds. I wouldn’t, happily engaged to a pureblood myself, but I wouldn’t judge you if you did.
Divorced.
Ha ha.
Have you seen his wife? Or soon to be ex-wife?

Not sure about the details, except that it's publicly known that she's avoiding being intimate with him.
Now he's got the Bitter Old Man Blues.
A hot younger women marries a rich older dude....for love of course! I'm sure he could find another one if he wanted.
I think he is a psychopath and has no ability to feel empathy. He is very intelligent and observant. I don't think he cares about anything or any one. He is not evil, he is not good. He's like an intelligent automaton.
An npc
Maybe he's like Zuckerberg- Monarch programming to believe he's and android, lol
In the same way that people are fascinated by train wrecks.
He is an entertainer, just like singers and actors. We may be a fan of their craft to tell a story based on fantasy and make believe, but why would you ever listen to their opinions?
At this point only NPC's and lefitsts trying to be edgy...
I did like dilbert.
I really like Dilbert. The comic strip and the show. I would say that I’m a fan of Scott Adams by proxy of Dilbert, but not necessarily a fan of Scott Adams, per se.
He backed the golden cow like many others. Until death
He's part of the Bohemian Grove probably, an influencer to shepherd idiots into supporting Bill Gates
I don’t know why he would, his cartoon has been stupid, Boris & unimaginative for over 25 years.
My mother and brother listen to his pod casts. So he does have some real followers.
I dont.
That's the other thing. His podcasts are boring!
Most pompous a-holes are.....
Now that I think about it,I belive my other brother recommended him.
I keep trying to get my dad off him, but still won't
He does red pill,them a little bit....
At least he WAS a Trump supporter. There was that.
