Well then, what is the lesson of Scott Adams?
On a practical level, the lesson of Scott Adams is the power of showing up. Nobody works harder and on a more regular schedule. You can set your clock to Scott’s show. Too many of us wait for the muse of inspiration or the jolt of information to force us into action. Work, everyday, maybe in obscuring and without tangible benefits for years. Eventually you’ll hit your mark and go beyond.
Scott plugged away with his streams from a small account (after a huge career via Dilbert) and soon became must-watch, and then transcended his role to becoming something much more.
On a spiritual level, we might ask, why do we love Scott? It’s not because he’s so smart (he is). There are not shortage of intelligent, clever, Machiavellian, and rich people with podcasts. When one of them dies, what is lost? All of that Ego and desire for adoration, and does anybody even care? When those people fall while living, who will be there?
Scott is loved because he’s devoted his life to service to humanity. “What is the meaning of life,” is the question we ask every interviewee, and Scott’s answer, “Be useful to humanity.”
Despite pain, sickness, and inevitable death, Scott is doing his daily streams, serving his country and all of humankind until his end.
He’s a light to the world and a mirror for all of us.
What exactly are we doing with the gift of life given to us by God. (Scott believes in the Simulation, but I believe God evens this all out in the Judgment.) Are we doing enough for others? Are we doing anything for others?
Like everyone else, I’m capable of throwing myself a pity party. Sometimes when life is going too well, and I don’t have real problems, I invent some. That’s where the Ego brings you, recursively worshipping itself, and when that fails, tormenting itself, as each path leads to its own attention.
May all of us live more like Scott Adams, and may God bless his immortal soul when he passes.
P.S. I ran this article through Grok for typos. The original version had “immoral” soul where I meant it to read “immortal.” I think Scott would have had a great laugh had that typo been left in.

Cernovich @Cernovich - A couple of friends who were staffers forever told me. Be careful. There are 51 votes for amnesty. There aren't 51 votes for the SAVE act.
Republicans hide behind the filibuster for why they can't do things, in reality they want to cast votes to hurt us all badly, but the filibuster blocks them as the Democrats would need 10 turncoats instead of only 1.
