Ugh. Read some old entries to his blog.
I just took some entries at random from 2008 and 2009.
He comes across to me as all over the board from utopian liberal to ill-tempered mentally unhinged libertarian. There is very little that is conservative in him.
Reading his blog makes me realize what I intensely dislike about the Internet, blogs and things like Twitter and Facebook (both of which I refuse to use)
Disclaimer: I love the Internet. It is an amazing tool for getting information, and can only be really useful as an information source when you factor in the instability, unreliability and weaknesses of some of the data. But things like blogs, Facebook and even Free Republic that form a stream of consciousness vomit where people bare their thoughts as they form, is a form of collective narcissism that I feel is extremely unhealthy.
When I post on FR, I understand my written opinions are things that may well follow me forever, so I try not to use it as a “stream of consciousness” outlet. I try to carry out dialogue with other online inhabitants here as if I were personally having a conversation with my mother, my boss, my wife or a friend. I don’t always succeed in remaining civil or even rational, but...I try.
Reading the past blogs of Scott Adams is enough to make me swear off ever having admitted to liking his professional work, which I have.
And it is certain (to me) from reading his past blogs, that this particular blog entry is no exceptional mindset due to stress or grief. It fits with the nature of his previous blog postings, in my opinion. I would be interested to hear what others think of his previous body of work (apart from his cartoons)
