Miller made jokes about online publication being pointless, and published a strip mocking Kurtz directly. He'd set off massive arguments in online spaces and claim the web cartoonists were responsible for "overreacting." Don't recall if Kurtz ever made a comic rebuttal, but he did write a blog post about Non Sequitur being derivative.

The doctor took 1 look at the x-ray and said, "you're going to the top of the surgery list, you're at risk of a double-lung transplant." He went in for surgery, and the surgeon cut out the tumour. 25 years later, still kickin': and this when something like 80% of lung cancer diagnoses are dead within 2 years. (He also quit the smoking habit too, which was ultimately nothing but a waste of money, if you think about it.) In a crazy twist, this story is actually true!

Humor is a difficult thing to perfect, and when you examine the appeal of Dilbert as a comic, it becomes apparent that Scott Adams didn't achieve success because he was a comedic genius. He was just observant enough to understand how much people hated office work and the corporate world, and all he had to do was write comics with moderately exaggerated or unrealistically honest and blunt depictions of what it's like to work in a cubicle, using a personal computer, taking phone calls, and filling out paperwork all day. It was funny almost entirely because it was "relatable." Everyone in those situations knew what it felt like and how stupid or exasperating it was. Adams stumbled upon gold by satirizing something that was both extremely common and universally reviled. And that success made him think he was far funnier, far smarter, and far more capable than he really ever was.

Which in most other jobs you don't really have that too often. An engineer doesn't stay an engineer for long if they can't do their job. While a manager can fly under the radar for years due to their underlings adapting to their screw ups.

The odds that an engineer, or even someone in sales, can get by just because they can get the right people to like them, are very low. Working in corporate America, I grew to hate the term "leadership skills" as it's 99% of the time just a euphemism for "the types of people we like around here" and such they can't say out loud.

There were some funny strips back in the '90s and early '00s, despite his many, many problems he had a knack for comedic timing and funny dialogue. The strip started losing its humor around 2005 and by 2014-5 (around when he changed the employees dress code and Dilbert lost his iconic tie) all the originality and humor was gone. The strip was past its prime for a while when he finally got himself cancelled.

*IN 1999 I HAD A CONVERSATION* with Scott Adams - he was a very VERY weird and almost psychotic guy. I bought one of his books and in the book, he bragged about them using insufficient glue so it would fall apart and I would have to buy another - it fell apart. I contacted him and said I wanted a new book, he agreed to send me one [he never did]. I asked him why be SO terrible to your followers, he said "they don't matter, my success is ordained by the universe, I can treat them as badly as I want and they will still buy my books". EDIT - just let me be clear here - he didnt believe other people exist, or if they do, they dont have free will. The universe has decided they will buy his books, there is nothing they can do about that - so no need to be nice to them.

I remember working as a summer intern at an aerospace company in 1990-91, and having access to company email. I sent Adams a message, asking him to possibly make a strip making fun of summer interns. A couple of days later, he wrote back to me, letting me know to keep an eye out for the strip. Sure enough, some weeks later, i saw the strip on a Sunday and kept it as a memento. Although i kept reading the comic after that, it was only years later i started reading about Adams' views and wonder what happened to him.

Two things .. his speaking at corporate events helped to speed up the worsening of Dilbert. All of a sudden, he was hanging around a bunch of Pointed Haired Bosses, and that bled into his mindset. He was no longer Dilbert, but wanted to be liked and adored by the pointy-haired bosses of the world. Now that he was one, PHBs weren't that bad, right? They just weren't understood by the plebes and moist robots. Also, Scott Adams made it big around the same time that Kevin Smith did, and they both have that same zeitgeist. The difference is, when they both raised their profile in fame, and tried to become "more than just themselves" Scott took himself too seriously, while Kevin Smith figured out that him being the king of his own niche was more than enough to keep himself and his friends and family well fed and comfortable for the rest of their lives.

Most his ideas are either awful or good (or at least novel) and few are average and I might be being a bit generous classifying his novel ideas as good. He does see through media narratives well though, just, like I said, he often puts forth an equally bad narrative.

Also, Office Space started the trend for office-themed films and TV shows.

I remember a few years back, Scott Adams was actually being interviewed for his support and admiration of Trump. While the interviewer was mainly trying to talk about Trump's morality, Scott kept basically marveling at how Trump _gets away with it,_ not making a statement on morality. This video kind of makes all the pieces fall into place in my mind. A consistent theme of having such a big ego (restaurant management fails, over and over) and just... constantly being a troll I guess (went "undercover" into the corporate world to "reveal" something about them... without knowing what exactly he wanted to reveal or anything. And stating he just likes to post opinions which are not his opinions and see what happens). His book, titled "How to fail at almost everything and still win big." His so-called "thought experiment" which is... really flippant butchering of logical thinking ("Your truck also exists in your mind when you are thinking about it, but also you can think about the easter bunny, so both are just as real."). There are so many parallels here with Trump's style. He just marvels that Trump "failed at almost everything and still won big."

Well, the sex and gender barrier DOES exist in certain companies and in parts of academia. I remember a former Professor of mine, who was number two in his department, bragging about how he wanted to increase gender diversity in his team, but wasn't legally allowed to only open the position for women, so he had to invite men as well, which turned out to be 95% of the applicants, just to send them home after 3-5 minutes of interviews and he then hired the first female applicant that walked through the door. I didn't stay in Academia, but all the people I know that did, more or less tell me the same story: unless the department is predominantly run by women, you won't be hired based on your skill, but your sex and even if your field of research is predominantly female, you're still at a massive disadvantage. A friend of mine almost got expelled by his Universities equal opportunities officer because he didn't wan't to get robbed. Almost 80% of students at his University were women at the time, and you'd assume since men are a minority there, the equal opportunities officer would at least be somewhat motivated to aknowledge the needs of the few men there, but no dice XD His department was at a small satelite campus that was almost 2h away from the actual university, in a small town with one trainstation and basically no public transport worth mentioning. So students that came by train had to walk to University, and the fastest route was through a somewhat desolate park. During the time there was a series of robberies in that park so the equal opportunities officer offered all female students that didnt feel safe to walk the park to use a taxi and hand in the bill to be reimbursed. Guess what happened when my MALE friend, who, for some reason, didn't want to get robbed either, handed in a few receipts XD The equal opportunities officer told him to eff off and that he was apropriating, he told her, that her behaviour is extremy toxic and sexist and that he had the same right not to be the victim of crime than a female student. She did not like that one bit so she escalated the thing up the ladder, and basically he was told to revoke his application for reimbursement AND apologize to the EOO. I don't feel like we are heading in a good direction. Inverting injustice maybe "feels" just, but it isn't, it's just the next step in an endless spiral of misery and violence. I feel like many Western societies came pretty far and intorduced a lot of important and meaningful changes, but now we're reverting back to a state a healthy society should not be in.
