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.
While I am as skeptical about the jab as anyone, there is no way to know if his illness was jab induced or not. What is important is that he will be sorely missed by those capable of critical thinking.
Assume all you want. Years of clinical data, accurately collected, with an accurately selected sample size would be required to prove it. None of which exists. Big Pharma has made sure of that. Anecdotal, yes. Proved? No.
I am not questioning his belief. That does not mean it is true. For you to interpret my comment as some sort of disparagement of Scott is ridiculous. Get a grip.
thanks … I did not listen daily, did hear him once talking about finally understanding that anti-jap ppl were correct after all but dont remember the details
😭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.
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.
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.
In 2015 I thought Trump didn’t have a chance in the primaries. How could a brash, loudmouth New Yorker win? But I was reading Scott Adams and everything he said made sense. It all still makes sense, though he talked less about Trump as a persuader and Sun Tzu strategist in the last year. Obviously he had other things going on, but it still puzzles me, because 2026 is shaping up to vindicate both Adams and Trump.
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.
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!❤️
I spent decades following the incredible wit and insight Scott Adams spoke through Dilbert and his "colleagues". Scott Adams started out as a telecom engineer at Pacific Bell and few of the Dilbert cartoons didn't include also a big dose of reality from the American high-tech world. Offices were strewn with Dilbert cartoons and it wasn't too hard to see our latest corporate "initiatives" already pre-skewered in them.
This is a tough loss. I’ve been listening to Scott’s podcast and live stream for the past nine years or so and he has been a great influence in my life. He has helped me understand the world in a different and better way with his humor, wisdom, intelligence, and courage. His decline from the awful cancer has been steady for months, and the outcome was inevitable, but it was still shocking to wake up this morning to discover this great man was gone. I feel like I’ve lost a friend.
His ultimate desire, that we go out into the world and be useful, is more important than ever, especially in these current times of chaos.
His death leaves a huge gap of goodness in the world, but Scott’s legacy will live on. God bless you, Scott Adams. We’ll meet again someday. I’ll have a sip of coffee in your memory.

Turbo cancer in short order…have you not been following the news?
Assume all you want. Years of clinical data, accurately collected, with an accurately selected sample size would be required to prove it. None of which exists. Big Pharma has made sure of that. Anecdotal, yes. Proved? No.
While I can agree…I’d take the other side of that trade and am confident I’d be proven correct.
Tru dat
Who R U to question Scott's lived truth about his jab?
I am not questioning his belief. That does not mean it is true. For you to interpret my comment as some sort of disparagement of Scott is ridiculous. Get a grip.
Lighten up
“No way to know” except Scott himself attributed his illness to the jab… turbo cancer is real
I don’t think he ever did attribute his illness to the “jab”. I listened to him daily and I never heard that from him.
thanks … I did not listen daily, did hear him once talking about finally understanding that anti-jap ppl were correct after all but dont remember the details
I thought I read that he specifically did not attribute this one way or the other.
Which would suit his specifically nature and ability to assess risk and probabilities based on evidence and data.
Agreed.
*sceptical nature
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
Basking in all the comfort of a fluffy, white cloud.

❤️🙏😢
Yes it feels like a double whammy. I hope Victor Davis Hanson is OK
And Jordan Peterson 😢
why take advice from an ADDICT?
Oh, please.
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”.
Indeed, he did
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.

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.
And now, he knows everything. God rest your soul, Scott Adams.
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.
😢

In the words of Eliot's "Little Gidding," Scott has now "arrived at the beginning and knows the place for the first time."
Another example of the cancel culture insanity in their treatment of an insightful person.
What a sad piece of news!

An inspiration to be sure. We lost one of the good ones.
