Definitely one of a kind. Though a bit full of himself but he was an honest broker of ideas and was open to having his mind changed. This was his special sauce. If I’m not mistaken that he acknowledged that his illness was Jab induced (no surprise there) - which tells one he was only interested in the truth and was willing to course correct - a rare quality these days. He’ll be missed.
😭my favorite podcaster bar none, despite his being agnostic versus my passionate Christian faith. And to the virtues you listed, I would add hilarious. Nobody made me laugh like Scott Adams!
This will take some time to process. It's like losing a member of my family. Why do we have to lose people like Scott and Charlie?
OTOH, one consolation amidst grief is that we will be reunited with fellow believers in heaven. Think that will be an amazing place, far beyond our imaginings.
I first heard him as a political commentator before the 2016 election when he started talking about Trump as a persuasive speaker and predicted he would win. He was also careful to stay neutral on who he wanted to win, as I recall, getting ostracized and canceled a real thing at that time. By 2024 I think he didn't care and just outright endorsed Trump. Big loss.
He was an interesting guy. Back in the 80s and 90s I considered Dilbert to be among the most unique, imaginative and most importantly, funny comic strips of all time. It got a bit stale in the last decade before the "cancelation" but thats no crime. So did Peanuts. His courage in his final year is noted. Rest in Peace.
Thanks to this online moment in history, I have now witnessed some quite admirable (white) men pass out of this mortal coil in such noble, inspiring ways...(thinking of Jonathan Myles Lea...)
I discovered Scott's "simultaneous sip" during the apex of "woke" anti-Trump insanity in 2016 or thereabouts. In his calm, measured tone, he would analyze Trump's moves --meanwhile at the universities where I teach (no longer at one of them) it was a goddamned mine field. I quite literally lost my own sanity -- or shall I say-- I hung on by a thread, thanks to Scott Adams.
Godspeed to Scott Adams. He did good in this world.
While it may be “no country for free thinkers” thank God they still exist. They created the greatest country on earth and we need them even more today.
My husband and I started following Scott early on in the 2016 election. He was so fresh and authentic, honest and a truly caring human being. And the Simultaneous Sip! We were blessed to have him in our lives. Thank you Scott!❤️
Always loved Dilbert, though I am not quite as geeky or cynical as Scott Adams. Still, his was a breath of fresh air, questioning authority, but gently, unlike the Progressives today who don't question, but challenge authority violently. I am from the peaceful protest camp of Martin Luther King. Violence changes the balance of justice against those who bring the chaos and violence trying to force their point of view against the will of the opposition. It is fundamentally totalitarian, which is what the Left has become today. I was a flower child of the 60s. Why can't we have that back?!

I’m so sad- I thought he was a wonderful man. Shedding tears for us but he is in a better place than all of us and feeling the joy of Jesus

❤️🙏😢
Yes it feels like a double whammy. I hope Victor Davis Hanson is OK
OTOH, one consolation amidst grief is that we will be reunited with fellow believers in heaven. Think that will be an amazing place, far beyond our imaginings.
Prayers for his family.
What no eye has seen, nor ear heard...!🙏❤️
Heartbroken, and will miss him very much.
Fortunately, Scott left enough wisdom to last a lifetime as we reflect on his thoughts, teachings, and “usefulness”.

Another heartbreaking loss— he was a breath of fresh air and so unfairly demonized.
We are now losing too many too many important voices and it was reminded to me yesterday. It was Rush Limbaugh‘s birthday. It’s just very sad.

And now, he knows everything. God rest your soul, Scott Adams.
Another example of the cancel culture insanity in their treatment of an insightful person.
In the words of Eliot's "Little Gidding," Scott has now "arrived at the beginning and knows the place for the first time."
An inspiration to be sure. We lost one of the good ones.
His comics were so spot on with regard the door world
He will be missed
