Scott Adams was the first person I followed on Twitter. The ‘Mole’!
He was a brilliant and eminently rational person. Sometimes that can get in the way of revelation.
I’m glad he took Pascal’s wager.
Thank you and Godspeed, Scott.

Wow! There’s a deep appreciation of Scott Adams on Gutfeld tonight.

Gutfeld says that Adams was the most important intellectual and mentor in his life. They became close, so close that Gutfeld spoke to Adams just a couple days ago. The rest of the panel spoke highly of Adams too.

That link will stop working some time tomorrow, but I imagine it will become a clip which will be available for much longer.

I read Adam’s Pascal’s Wager as brave cheerfulness on his death bed. Which I find admirable.

I don’t believe Adams was born-again. However, just about everyone loves or appreciates Jesus and going into the darkness is a scary thing. Taking Jesus’s hand at that point is at least a way of focusing on love and hope in those final moments.

Rest in peace, friend Scott. You lived and died with humor and courage. May we learn from you.

Rest in peace Scott.
He really left a void.
I cried yesterday during the end of his show. I knew it was the last/he was really dying.
Sad.

Didn’t know much about him but from his bio it sounds like he was a step ahead on the Second Commandment, “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. RIP Scott Adams.

Thank you for the video, Neo. I thought his ex-wife was brave too.

Scott Adams was loved by many, faced death bravely, and spoke the truth without hesitation. A life very well lived. No man could ask for more. He will be missed. May he RIP.

I only get the Sunday edition of the Chicago Tribune now, and even then just for arts and entertainment goings on in the city. So I’m reminded of Scott Adam’s once a week when I see the cover of the comics section and see Pickles where Dilbert used to be.

A definite loss.
I always felt it useful for someone to portray common situations with a perspective such as Dilbert’s. Dilbert and the whimsical Calvin and Hobbes spoke perfectly to me.
I am glad that Scott Adams found spiritual comfort.

On a secular note, there is no doubt that Adams sacrificed much when he endorsed Trump and discovered that the left is filled with hate and condemnation. He spoke what he saw as truth, at great cost.

Those who criticize Adams might also recall Jesus’s parable of the vineyard, where the master kept hiring workers from early in the morning until late afternoon, and at the end of the day paid them all the same wage.
