Coffee with Scott Adams. On Periscope. Episode, "Scott Adams talks about civil war, #walkaway, The weed poison pill, Mike Lee, eliminating ICE"

He encapsulaes it in the first minute. People see through a tear in the bubble and realize they are truly in a bubble.
Great presentation.
I preferred reading him in 90 seconds than hearing his stream of consciousness for 14 minutes.
For those of us who are hearing impaired, he no longer has anything to say.
Respected the guy, but going to that stupid periscope thing means I don’t give a damn what he as to say anymore
“I preferred reading him in 90 seconds than hearing his stream of consciousness for 14 minutes.”
no doubt about it .... Adams is a fine political essayist and author, but as a podcaster he’s terrible ... just rambles and rambles in that whiny voice of his ... friends and family who admire his blog and books can’t stand his podcasts ... neither can I ...
Some commenter on the CBS News boards said the #WalkAway movement was all done by Russian Bots.
So, now I give up. Everything that I disagree with or annoys me is done by Russian Bots.
Concurring bump...and 14 minutes is one of his shorter videos. Its a turn off.
That right there’s a face made for text. I realize typing can be a pain in the behind and people are often too lazy to read, but ...
At least try to put on a more presentable ‘presentation’.
You’d think someone as obsessed with ‘persuasion’ as he is would realize that a great deal of the art of persuasion is the packaging. Looking and sounding like you’re in a sneakers and outer space cult won’t help the cause. :P
Scott needs to bring Dilbert type characters to voice.
They did do the Dilbert cartoon on TV way back when, but from what I recall it was not a commercial success. I liked the couple of episodes that I saw, but I’m not really much of a TV watcher, so I lost track of it.
I just think that if he’s going to do vid/podcasts, he should at least dress so he doesn’t look like a cult figure, but not a televangelist either, and try not to look and sound like pajama-middle-aged-man.
I vastly prefer Adams than any biased media. I speed up the process by listening on my iPhone. Press and hold the “Play in new window” link on blog.dilbert.com. Then select “Open in Background”. Then switch to that window. You’ll get an audio player with + / - 15 second buttons. For some reason if I open the link directly it opens in a player without the buttons. I use +15 button to cut his 35 min audio down to a few minutes because he repeats himself so much. Now, if only Apple had a 2x speed combinesd with +15...
