i liked dilbert from inception. knew little about adams otherwise until 2016.
since then I have concluded that he has a really thin skin, usually very well hidden.
there is a very detailed story about him going onto a board he was being trashed on years ago (pre-trump) to defend himself.
with the garrison cartoon, he initially played it off while *fact-checking a parody*
around new years he just starting insulting garrison over this same cartoon non-stop. I think we see the real scott adams in those posts.
i didn’t watch his mea culpa (I consume almost no video news). based on everything, he still is somewhat subscribing to the position (so nicely illustrated by garrison) that folks not getting vaxed were stupid but right, accidentally.
What irks me about Adams is reminds me of my uncle who is a very smart, educated, and successful guy, but he occasionally gets things wrong and is loathe to admit it. It’s an ego thing with these guys and just makes them look foolish when they continue to try and rationalize their former position, unwilling to ever admit they might have been wrong.
Even the smartest among us occasionally gets it wrong, we are all just human. Adams certainly isn’t stupid, but neither is he infallible when it comes to his understanding of certain issues and I wish he would just accept that instead of his endless excuses as to why he did what he did. He wanted to travel internationally and took his chance with the vaxx, and now regrets that decision only now because he is experiencing vaxx damage. (Can’t walk up his stairs, is tired and unable to function after 3pm ect) He reminds me of a doctor I know who was all pro vaxx, any refusal was irrational, blah blah blah. That is until he himself was injured by the second vaxx, whereupon he quickly did a 180 degree turn. Scott needs to humble himself a little.
