Scott Adams died today at age 68. In 2016 he predicted that Trump would win the election when almost everyone else, besides me, was predicting the opposite. His main claim to fame is his Dilbert cartoons, artfully skewering corporate culture. In a living example of Pascal’s Wager, he embraced Christianity in his last days:
May he now be making sketches of angels in the Kingdom that knows not sickness nor death.
What a beautiful philosophy of life.
R.I.P. Scott Adams.
I’ve been reading and following him closely for well over a decade (reading Dilbert for many moons more) and I have to say, this whole process and ending stung. He was always an engaging listen and interaction, even when I wanted to yell back through my headset or computer. Rest in Peace, Scott. You will be missed
R.I.P. Scott. I’m so glad you found the Lord in your final days. I hope my prayer helped. Now, piercing the veil… you understand not “a simulation..” but the Divine Providence.
R.I.P.
Although I never met him, I always felt a sort of a connection because of his having been a fellow employee of the Bell System beast. Many of his cartoon reflections on corporate life were amusingly familiar to all of us Bell heads.
He is already missed. I was a subscriber to his continuation of the Dilbert story on Locals after his honesty about the poisoning of US race relations got him canceled by all the newspapers. I’ll need to find a new daily comic fix that doesn’t require subscribing to one of the papers that blackballed Scott.
I guess Trump just can’t help it. Even when it is someone he likes, his comment includes something about himself.
Gone too soon. I’m not sure there was ever a strip I enjoyed more than Dilbert. I’ve also respected him for putting his business interests on the line to say what he thought. I do think it is regrettable that his domestic life was truncated. Not sure what to make of the religious profession in his last missive.
