Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasnβt fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you Scott!
Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert, writes in his book βHow to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Bigβ:
Recently I noticed that the high-school volleyball games I attended in my role as stepdad were almost always won by the team that reached seventeen first, even though the winning score is twenty-five and you have to win by two.
Itβs common for the lead to change often during a volleyball match, and the team that first reaches seventeen might fall behind a few more times before winning, which makes the pattern extra strange.
Good observation, Scott! But why could it be so?
Scott offers two possible explanations. One is psychological: the leading team has a higher morale while the losing team feels defeated. The other is that perhaps the coach of the losing team sees this as an opportunity to let his bench players on the court.
While these reasons sound plausible to me, there is a simpler logical explanation. It would hold even if the players and coaches were robots.
Imagine that you enter a gym where a game is being played. You see the current score: 15:17. If you know nothing else about the teams except their current score, which one do you think is more likely to win the set?..."
Watching his positive takes on Trump on his Dilbert website was quite something. It jarred quite a few lefties and at least some of them started digging into it because of this. He has changed a lot of people, may he rest in peace.
And in Heaven, one could say he's the life of the party, in that Heaven rejoices more over a sinner who repents than 99 people who do not need to repent;
Life of The Party (Crumbacher) and Graduating Class (twin spin!)
I hadnβt been following his battle to closely so when I seen this post I was hoping it had something to do with the success of his alternative treatments. Iβm sad to hear heβs gone.
When I was an illegal alien in Canada years ago the idea of going to Canada for financial aid was absolutely laughable then and is laughable now. This country is corrupt and retarded.

He did what others struggle to do: changed his mind based on facts.
For that he had my respect.
Yes...takes wisdom to investigate and admit you were wrong.
Exactly. I thought he was a loser until he changed his mind and owned up to his stupidity. After that I knew he was a real one.
Yes exactly this.
He swallowed his pride in relation to the jab.
I was kinda hoping thereβd be a plot twist with Scott, like there is with so many people who meet Trump in person.
Alas.
I think the plot twist is that he accepted Christ in the end. I know he made a public statement about looking into it.
Yes...
movie's not over yet! πΏπ₯Έ

Reading Dilbert, we used to swear that he had a spy in our office. He will be missed. πππ

Yes... praying for his family πππΏ

MSM is referring to Scott as "disgraced". I really thought I hated MSM enough, but now I'm going to have to up my game.
Ain't it the truth! π€¬
