That's actually sort of sad and disturbing.
I thought Scott Adams was just an asshole. I didn't realize he was insane.

I knew he was insane after the MetaFilter drama over a decade ago (and similar antics on reddit a full 15 years ago) where he made a sockpuppet account to glaze himself and was immediately caught and outed which lead to him claiming that was his goal all along. When I have a minute I'll drop a link. He's always been this unhinged.
He had several incidents of brain damage over the years which seem to have gradually worsened his toxic delusional narcissism IIRC
Bro literally just had to shut the fuck up and draw cartoons. He chose to dive headfirst into politics that anyone with two functioning bran cells could see that history will judge as problematic.
Thanks Obama.
Maybe the lamest part of the second Trump administration is hearing about all these culture warriors again. Be at peace and retire Mx. Adams, your contribution to humanity ended last millennium.
...he had contributions to humanity?
Dilbert had a major zeitgeist moment in the 90s.
One he was apparently completely unaware of.
The guy thinks Dilbert wasn't about how office culture sucks.
00s too, for the first half at least
I swear he's like that ex who seems perfectly normal to start, but after you move in and she starts telling the tale of how everyone fucked her over exactly the same -- with her doing everything, to no avail -- a wildly different picture coalesces.
Holy shit that comment section 🤯
Are people really this insane (Adams clearly is), or is this just bots having a party? 😳
More than one thing can be true
Definitely, think my question was probably borderline rhetorical. I also don't know the site well.
Stupid asshole cant accept that him being a stupid asshole is why people hated him. He hates everyone who isnt white men
It's what got me canceled.
...says guy who still makes a living publishing his opinions and artwork, worldwide.
Dilbert has always been trash.
