    Scott Adams is my favorite self-destructive asshole. The massive ego goes perfectly with his complete lack of self awareness. He’s a total expert in every field, but all science is fake.

    He 100% believes that the 2020 election was stolen, and elections are, by design, incapable of being secure. When a (republican) election expert tried explaining how our elections are actually very secure, and there’s extremely few instances of fraud, Scott’s response was “I’m not reading all that.”

    He’s also a trained hypnotist. I’m not sure what that means, it probably has something to do with clown school. Except all education is fake too.

      He’s always been a contrarian. It was harmless and even enjoyable in the 90s and early 2000s when, to him, that meant eating vegetarian and believing in some Hippie woowoo bullshit while being firmly against organized religion and generally distrustful of corporations.

      I miss hippie Scott Adams. Weird right-wing Scott Adams is not enjoyable.

        I think you nailed it. People get so hung up on what he became, they forget what he was. Dude really is just a contrarian. Almost like a white collar version of George Carlin(albeit very toned down).
