POPULARITY
Thanks to everyone who sent in condolences on my recent death from prostate cancer at age 68, but that was Scott Adams. I (Scott Alexander) am still alive1. Still, the condolences are appreciated. Scott Adams was a surprisingly big part of my life. I may be the only person to have read every Dilbert book before graduating elementary school. For some reason, 10-year-old-Scott found Adams' stories of time-wasting meetings and pointy-haired bosses hilarious. No doubt some of the attraction came from a more-than-passing resemblance between Dilbert's nameless corporation and the California public school system. We're all inmates in prisons with different names. But it would be insufficiently ambitious to stop there. Adams' comics were about the nerd experience. About being cleverer than everyone else, not just in the sense of being high IQ, but in the sense of being the only sane man in a crazy world where everyone else spends their days listening to overpaid consultants drone on about mission statements instead of doing anything useful. There's an arc in Dilbert where the boss disappears for a few weeks and the engineers get to manage their own time. Productivity shoots up. Morale soars. They invent warp drives and time machines. Then the boss returns, and they're back to being chronically behind schedule and over budget. This is the nerd outlook in a nutshell: if I ran the circus, there'd be some changes around here. Yet the other half of the nerd experience is: for some reason this never works. Dilbert and his brilliant co-workers are stuck watching from their cubicles while their idiot boss racks in bonuses and accolades. If humor, like religion, is an opiate of the masses, then Adams is masterfully unsubtle about what type of wound his art is trying to numb. This is the basic engine of Dilbert: everyone is rewarded in exact inverse proportion to their virtue. Dilbert and Alice are brilliant and hard-working, so they get crumbs. Wally is brilliant but lazy, so he at least enjoys a fool's paradise of endless coffee and donuts while his co-workers clean up his messes. The P.H.B. is neither smart nor industrious, so he is forever on top, reaping the rewards of everyone else's toil. Dogbert, an inveterate scammer with a passing resemblance to various trickster deities, makes out best of all. The repressed object at the bottom of the nerd subconscious, the thing too scary to view except through humor, is that you're smarter than everyone else, but for some reason it isn't working. Somehow all that stuff about small talk and sportsball and drinking makes them stronger than you. No equation can tell you why. Your best-laid plans turn to dust at a single glint of Chad's perfectly-white teeth. Lesser lights may distance themselves from their art, but Adams radiated contempt for such surrender. He lived his whole life as a series of Dilbert strips. Gather them into one of his signature compendia, and the title would be Dilbert Achieves Self Awareness And Realizes That If He's So Smart Then He Ought To Be Able To Become The Pointy-Haired Boss, Devotes His Whole Life To This Effort, Achieves About 50% Success, Ends Up In An Uncanny Valley Where He Has Neither The Virtues Of The Honest Engineer Nor Truly Those Of The Slick Consultant, Then Dies Of Cancer Right When His Character Arc Starts To Get Interesting. If your reaction is "I would absolutely buy that book", then keep reading, but expect some detours. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/the-dilbert-afterlife

In this episode of the Connect Podcast, Cole Phillips kicks off a new season by discussing the importance of deepening one's faith through the lens of the parable of the soils from Matthew 13. He emphasizes that while many hear the word of God, the true measure of faith lies in how deeply it takes root in one's life. Cole reflects on the recent passing of Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip, who shared his thoughts on faith and conversion in the face of terminal illness. Through Adams' story, Cole explores the difference between superficial belief and genuine faith, urging listeners to consider the depth of their own spiritual commitment.Cole gets into the concept of Pascal's Wager, discussing the rationality of believing in God versus the risks of disbelief. He contrasts this with the biblical example of the thief on the cross, who exemplified true faith through his humble acknowledgment of Jesus. The episode concludes with a call to action for listeners to examine their own faith, encouraging them to move beyond mere belief to a deeper, transformative relationship with Jesus.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the New Season00:56 The Parable of the Soils06:09 Understanding True Faith vs. Fake Faith08:03 Scott Adams' Journey and Final Thoughts19:09 Pascal's Wager: Risk vs. Reward in Faith30:31 The Nature of Real Faith and Commitmentfaith, parable of the soils, Scott Adams, Connect Podcast, deep faith, transformation, Pascal's Wager, true belief, spiritual commitment
Scott Adams passing is a great loss to those of us who object to herd mentality. Scott was brilliant in his analyzing of cognitive dissonance, irrationality, and mass delusion. He unraveled the complexity of human persuasion better than most, If not all, psychologists. Thank you to Scott and may you rest in peace.Clip Used: "I'll never forget this": Glenn Beck's emotional tribute to "Dilbert" creator Scott AdamsBy: Glenn BeckFollow Us:YouTubeTwitterFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, stepped into eternity last week and a letter was shared saying that he had given his life to Christ just prior to his passing. What makes this moment so striking isn't just the confession itself, but the way he framed it. In the letter it seemed he wasn't entirely convinced in the traditional sense. Instead, he described his decision more like a Pascalian wager, a calculated choice made in the face of uncertainty, suffering and mortality that raises some uncomfortable and fascinating questions. Is faith still faith if it merely begins with a wager? Can belief be genuine, even if doubt never fully leaves? And what do we make of so-called deathbed conversions? Are they real transformations of the heart or last minute insurance policies against the unknown?

It's still a three-host crew this week, but the three-legged dog mascot jumps in to keep things lively. The boys kick things off by complaining about just how miserable the cold has been before diving into the excitement around the latest Chicago Bears game and gearing up for another nail-biter on Sunday. From there, they rewind to last week's fun, reliving their beer pong glory days and classic house party memories. The conversation then shifts to last week's news to start the new one, covering a wide range of topics including the cause of Havana Syndrome, a crane collapse in Thailand onto a moving train, the debate over when it's appropriate to flip off the President of the United States, the passing of the Dilbert comic strip author, and a discussion around Barbie and representation. To wrap things up, the guys break down the NFL playoffs and share their gambling thoughts before, as always, ending on a positive note with feel good stories.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe cubicle jokes were the hook, but the accuracy was the engine. We look at Scott Adams' life and ideas with fresh eyes—how Dilbert named the dysfunction so many of us felt, how The Dilbert Principle exposed bad incentives, and why his most lasting gift may be a set of practical tools for everyday progress. We share how systems beat goals, why routines create momentum, and how talent stacking and energy management let normal people do exceptional work without pretending to be superhuman.From there, we step into his later work on persuasion and clear thinking—Win Bigly, Loserthink, and Reframe Your Brain—and unpack why frames, incentives, and emotional hooks move people more than spreadsheets do. Whether you agreed with his takes or bristled at them, his 2016 prediction about Donald Trump challenged the idea that facts alone decide outcomes. He treated public life like a lab, testing influence in real time and inviting us to watch the mechanics behind the message.We also sit with his final words about faith—humble, urgent, and aimed beyond career and controversy. It's a reminder that systems and stacks are means, not ends, and that clarity of thought should point toward clarity of purpose. Along the way, we share the simple routines that powered 4.5 years of this show and the small, repeatable steps you can start today to build a durable life: write a little, move daily, guard your energy, and stack useful skills that multiply your impact.If this conversation helps you rework one habit or reframe one problem, share it with a friend who needs a nudge.

The "Dilbert" comic strip creator remained true to form until the end, hawking self-help books and broadcasting his insecurities to the world.This episode traces Adams' career arc as a successful cartoonist (to the best of their knowledge), paying special attention to his creepy comments about women, racial grievances, pseudo-intellectual ramblings, and crusade against "loserthink." Adams considered himself a great writer — "as luck would have it."Adams wasn't stupid. He's smarter than us!Jared's album recommendation: Madison Cunningham, Ace, 2025
A Note from James:You know, I've known Scott Adams for probably 12 or 13 years. He was one of the first guests on this podcast, and he's the creator of Dilbert, which was my favorite cartoon strip for decades. But then, starting around 2013, he started writing about his life, his opinions, his approach to life, and what made him a success. The first book he did in this genre was How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. He also wrote another book that was very influential, called Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter. Both of these books are must-reads. Win Bigly is the best book ever about real-world persuasion. And Scott Adams himself was kind of an—I don't want to say he's an amateur hypnotist, but really more like a professional—in terms of how he used hypnotism techniques for persuasion. And How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big...when this comes from the very first podcast I had with him—how his story of how Dilbert became a hundred-million-dollar success… he was failing constantly. And the story of the success of Dilbert, which he tells in this episode we're going to show you now, is just amazing. Scott Adams has more recently become known for his political musings. He had a daily podcast, Coffee with Scott Adams, which I regularly listen to. I would say over the past decade—or 13 years, 12 years—he has not only become a great friend, and even somewhat of a mentor to me, but we've talked a lot, on and off the podcast—his podcast, my podcast—and he really helped me out through some times when I was a little upset about different things. He really knew how to reframe problems so that they would become successes. And when I first heard he was sick—this was last June—I was devastated. And of course, he prepared us all that he was going to pass away, which he did a few days ago. It was really upsetting. And, you know, I hate when people kind of take advantage of someone's death by saying, “Oh, I knew him great. He was my best…” blah, blah, blah. I just want to tell you: listen, put aside all your opinions. He was a great artist. He was a great storyteller. He had opinions you may or may not agree with, but he really knew a lot about the DNA of success and the real mechanics of persuasion—no BS, no academic stuff—just really how to do it. I would really encourage you: you could better your life if you read his books. I love this guy. I'm really sad he passed away. I've learned so much from him, and I want to share a little bit of that in this episode. Maybe we'll even do another one at some point. But, you know, rest in peace, Scott Adams. And please, if you haven't learned from him in the past—or even if you have—we had a great time whenever we talked. And here's a piece of that.Episode Description:Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) explains why he thinks goals can actually make you worse off—and why systems, energy, and probability are the real tools for building a career that lasts.He tells the story of how he broke into syndicated cartooning after repeated rejection, and how a small nudge from a stranger kept him from quitting too early.James and Scott talk about writing with “danger,” why people can't reliably judge good ideas, and how persistence becomes easier once you stop expecting a perfect plan.They also get into the emotional side of “making it”—including why success can feel disorienting when you hit a milestone you thought would solve everything. What You'll Learn:Build systems instead of chasing goals, because the target will move before you get there Increase your odds by trying many small bets, rather than staking everything on one “perfect” plan Write with an element of risk—if you're not at least a little scared, it's probably too safe Don't trust friends (or investors) to recognize a good idea on sight—nobody can predict outcomes reliably Protect your energy and schedule your hardest creative work when your brain is actually sharp Timestamped Chapters:[03:04] A Note from James: why Scott mattered, and why this still holds up [06:50] Scott's new book, Dilbert, and why “systems beat goals” [12:26] Scott's daily routine and how he actually creates cartoons[15:22] The real Dilbert origin story: rejection, Jack Cassidy, and persistence [22:12] “Danger” in writing: why safe content gets ignored [25:01] The strange downside of success: when purpose evaporates [30:09] Passion is overrated: why momentum beats motivation[33:02] The math of luck: a thousand 10% chances becomes a near guarantee [34:45] Talent stacking: combine mediocre skills into a rare advantage[37:03] Energy as the real multiplier: sleep, food, exercise, and timing [41:53] People can't judge ideas: why “bad ideas” still have value[45:13] The Spider-Man problem: responsibility after you've “made it”[46:01] CalendarTree: solving a small scheduling problem well [52:42] Why James's biggest opportunities came from writing that felt riskyAdditional Resources:Scott Adams — Coffee with Scott Adams (official community site)How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big — Scott Adams (Amazon)Win Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Don't Matter — Scott Adams (Amazon)Dilbert (official site)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In a calculated hedge against hell, Dilbert creator Scott Adams announces a death-bed conversion to Christianity, explicitly framing it as Pascal's Wager—a cynical, calculated play for the afterlife. Christians celebrate, atheists groan, and we unpack why this story is catnip for religious propaganda, why the logic collapses instantly, and why deathbed conversions remain one of Christianity's favorite—and flimsiest—victory laps. (Adams passed away at age 68 from prostate cancer after we recorded the show.) Then: the Pope condemns medical aid in dying after Illinois legalizes it, a lawyer is fined $400,000 for warning a school about an accused priest, the U.S. Defense Secretary pushes Christianity deeper into the military, China cracks down on underground Christian churches, Israel prepares to relocate a so-called "lost tribe" from India, and the LDS Church quietly dismantles its all-female Temple Square mission.

"That one letter of encouragement from that one mentor, completely unsolicited, didn't expect it, didn't know it was coming, changed the entire arc of my career." Scott Adams left an unmistakable imprint on modern culture through his ability to translate complex human behavior into simple, enduring ideas. As the creator of Dilbert, he reshaped how office life, power dynamics, and absurdity in corporate systems were understood—using humor as a vehicle for truth. Beyond his art, he became a widely read thinker and speaker, known for examining persuasion, mindset, systems, and the unseen forces that shape outcomes. His work consistently challenged people to think differently, act intentionally, and recognize how small actions can ripple outward in ways far larger than intended. This conversation captures Scott in his element: reflective, precise, and deeply aware of how influence actually works in the real world. He speaks openly about persuasion, systems versus goals, talent stacking, and the psychology behind success—not as abstract theory, but as lived experience. Throughout the interview, he emphasizes personal responsibility, disciplined optimism, and the long-term consequences of how ideas are framed and shared. At the heart of this interview is a powerful throughline: encouragement matters. Scott recounts how a single unsolicited letter and a few affirming words changed the trajectory of his life—and how that change went on to affect countless others. It is a reminder that creative courage is often unlocked not by grand gestures, but by timely belief, offered sincerely. The message he leaves is clear: paying it forward is not optional—it is consequential. Expert action steps: Build systems, not goals: Focus on daily practices that continuously improve your options rather than fixating on distant outcomes. Care for the body to support the mind: Physical health directly influences clarity, discipline, and emotional stability. Develop a talent stack: Combine complementary skills to create uniqueness and long-term value in the marketplace.

Well folks, Dan called it. Dilbert guy is dead. Who's next? Tune in to find out! We also soft launch a call-in segment, so hit us with your Punk Problems and we'll be here to answer.
This episode is being re-released in remembrance of Scott Adams, who has passed away on the 13th of January, 2026. This interview remains a meaningful reflection of his ideas, experiences, and voice, and it deserved to be shared again. My guest today, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, joins me to talk about exactly why that is and the type of thinking he refers to as "Loserthink." It's also the title of his new book subtitled, How Untrained Brains are Ruining America. Today, we talk about the fact that being right and being wrong feel the same, how to determine what battles to fight online, how shaming and mockery can be used positively, and ultimately how you can avoid thinking like a loser. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Augmenting your intelligence Wrestling with social media A "slippery slope" Linear thinking Predictable variables to success Influencing other people Enlightened selfishness Succeeding at systems Mental addiction Adding to your talent stack There's always a deeper level Engaging in "loser think" Determining a stranger's thoughts SCOTT ADAMS Gents, I am stoked to be able to introduce you to my guest today, Scott Adams. Before I do, I want to make sure I thank my friend, Jordan Harbinger, for introducing us. You may not know who Scott is right away but I'm sure you know Dilbert. Scott is the creator of Dilbert and the bestselling author of Win Bigly and his new book, Loserthink. Although Scott really started to gain attention and traction with Dilbert, his political commentary is, in my mind, just as, if not more, important. If you're interested, you can check out what he has to say on Twitter (@scottadamssays). He's never been afraid to ruffle a few feathers and I think that is why he has gained such a following – his ability to say what needs to be said and his ability to say it in a way that connects with so many of us. SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES Gentlemen, we're all aware of how important systems and processes are on our path to success but how many men have not created those systems in every facet of their lives.

Hour 1: The creator of the famous Dilbert comic strip, Scott Adams, has passed away. The Fresh Prince of Belair house is for sale.

Our relationships with our dogs have really evolved since the first dog park was established in Berkeley. San Francisco will be represented in the Puppy Bowl this year. Is there any cool way to pick up after your dog? Hour 2: Thank you, Live Nation. Celebrity bad behavior continues: Timothy Busfield has turned himself in with his wife, Melissa Gilbert, by his side. Meanwhile, Kiefer Sutherland was arrested for allegedly assaulting his rideshare driver. A memorial will be held this weekend in Golden Gate Park for Claude, the Bay Area's late albino alligator. Ed Sheeran is probably thrilled about the new Heinz French fry box. Eye glasses just got smart, actually. GenZ already can't imagine life without Chat GPT. (49:33) Hour 3: It's time for the generations to battle it out in the hopes of bringing us all closer together… hmm. Steiny is back for his third and final appearance.

This is a section from a show recorded in January of 2020. It is being reuploaded in light of his passing. Rest in peace, Scott. The Crosspolitic guys welcome Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip and author of "Loser Think: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America," on to discuss flawed thinking patterns in modern society and why specialized knowledge without cross-domain experience leads to poor decision-making and public discourse.
I get to share something today I never thought I'd be able to say out loud. Alex Smith was my best information source about everything I ever knew about how Andy Reid coaches, hires and fires and thinks. On Tuesday, Smith let out what I've been saying about Andy and his staff and his OC's for years. It's good stuff and you want to hear this. Also, we'll play a clip from Smith on exactly why he dislikes the Denver Broncos and thinks they are a terrible #1 seed. The Royals are moving the walls in for Bobby Witt Jr and a whole bunch more homers at the K and they explain why this will lead to more wins. KU just destroys Iowa State at Allen Field House and everyone got to see what's possible with this year's team. We explore the big question... was this a one off or can this be repeated night in and night out? We saw two Trumps on Tuesday, one exuberant about economic news another flipping off a heckler. Oh my. There was a full on ICE freak out in KC as hundreds of ICE vehicles are parked in a giant lot in the Northland reportedly belonging to Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Oh, and we're building a detention facility! Yes, yes and yes. More, more and more please. A famous Kansas City company is livid with the restaurant owned by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for being fraudulent and cheap. This is a tasty story. The far left media take terrible pot shots at Dilbert creator Scott Adams who died at age 68. Celebs are getting arrested and our Final Final is some bad news for Obamacare.

Jared and Mike bid farewell to MAGA legend Scott Adams, who died of cancer at age 68 on January 13, 2026, with a special installment of their "Who the Hell?" biographical series.Adams was one of the earliest breakout MAGA influencers, gaining attention for his early support of Donald Trump in 2015 and his pseudoscientific explanations of his cultural rise. The "Dilbert" comic strip creator remained true to form until the end, hawking self-help books and broadcasting his insecurities to the world.This episode traces Adams' career arc as a successful cartoonist (to the best of their knowledge), paying special attention to his creepy comments about women, racial grievances, pseudo-intellectual ramblings, and crusade against "loserthink." Adams considered himself a great writer — "as luck would have it."Adams wasn't stupid. He's smarter than us!Listen to the full episode on our Patreon: https://patreon.com/PostingThroughIt
In the 1990s, Scott Adams famously satirized white collar cubicle culture with Dilbert. Over the past decade, he became famous for his astute analysis of the Trump phenomenon and wider society. The show team memorializes him with some favorite comic strips and talks about his deathbed acceptance of Christianity. John Carney assesses President Trump's tariff policies and what the Supreme Court might rule on them tomorrow. Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

White House Border Czar Tom Homan joins Will to discuss ICE's recent operations in Minnesota, setting the record straight on why the presence of ICE in ‘sanctuary cities' is so high compared to red states like Florida and Texas and how ICE will handle interference with operations going forward. Homan also responds to Minneapolis' Mayor Jacob Frey floating the possibility of state police arresting ICE officers. Plus, Will and The Crew see what you, the Willitia, thought of the interview with Homan, before sharing their own thoughts on how preconceived notions of ICE's motivations and a lack of public awareness on the legality of interfering with law enforcement have helped contribute to a climate of increasing fear and unrest.
