Scott Adams: In his own words
I’ve been overwhelmed with e-mail and comments pointing out that I misunderstand a great many things about science. While this is certainly true, the vagueness of the accusations is robbing you of the joy of publicly humiliating me with razor-sharp specificity. Here’s a chance to fix that. Add a comment…
Read MoreI’m sick of all the stereotypes found in the news. Maybe you heard the story about the four suicide bombers who planned an attack in Jordan. The three males killed mostly other Muslims. Obviously the men were looking for Israel and refused to stop and ask for directions. And the…
Read MoreToday I am whacked out on pain killers because yesterday I had surgery to correct my deviated septum. I didn’t ask a lot of questions about the procedure but I can deduce most of the details based on the way I feel today. Apparently doctors shove a starving wolverine into one…
Read MoreMany of your comments suggest that there are plenty of credible scientists on the topic of Intelligent Design and evolution. Some people asked who I would consider credible. Let me point out, by way of background, that all of the intelligence agencies of every major country believed Iraq had weapons…
Read MoreOh man, oh man. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed stirring up $#!T until I wrote about evolution and Intelligent Design. Many of your comments are fascinating, but the good stuff came in direct e-mails to me. I think my inbox actually burst into flames a few times. As…
Read MoreAs I write this blog entry I am pedaling a recumbent exercise bike, listening to CNN in an air conditioned room, and typing on my Blackberry with my thumbs. Some might say that I am no longer in touch with nature. Personally, I feel that I have way too much…
Read MoreWow. A lot of people read my blog entry on Intelligent Design and interpreted it to mean I believe it. I guess the part where I say I don’t believe it wasn’t sufficiently clear. That’s why I don’t like to leave my office.
Read MoreI know there’s something wrong with me because I worry about all the wrong things. For example, I spend a lot of time worrying about the shielding on my microwave oven. Whenever I stand within ten feet of it, I’m sure I feel my spleen heating up. And when the…
Read MoreTo me, the most fascinating aspect of the debate over Darwinism versus Intelligent Design is that neither side understands the other side’s argument. Better yet, no one seems to understand their own side’s argument. But that doesn’t stop anyone from having a passionate opinion. I’ve been doing lots of reading on the…
Read MorePrior to giving a talk to a business group in Atlanta, I was waiting in a tiny concrete dressing room, just reading the Atlanta Constitution Journal and using my Blackberry. It quickly became apparent that the backstage crew uses the bathroom in the dressing room because it’s nearby and rarely…
Read MoreI used to say that my goal was to live to 140. I have confidence that medical science can improve enough to make that happen. People tell me that it’s a stupid goal because no one wants to be old and decrepit. These naysayers are forgetting about the likely breakthroughs…
Read MoreOne of the most common questions I get is “Do you ever get writer’s block?” The thing I love about that question is that it reveals a wonderful optimism in the person who is asking. I suspect that the people who ask this question believe they possess deep wells of…
Read MoreBehold the winners of the 2005 Weasel Poll on http://dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/shop/html/weasel_poll_results_2005.html [no longer available] As you’ll see, Democrats can’t seem to win ANYTHING – not even the Weasel Poll. Thanks to a substantial block of non-US voters who are not fans of the American Way, the results are a sweep for all…
Read MorePolice caught the escaped narcissistic murderer that I mentioned in an earlier blog – the one who cleverly walked out of jail with a fake ID. Apparently they found him standing outside a liquor store, drunk, making no effort to hide his identity. This has caused some observers to conclude…
Read MoreI don’t know about you, but I’m tired of celebrities who have two trials for every one alleged homicide or molestation. First there’s the criminal trial, where the jury inevitably acquits him because of the high burden of reasonable doubt. Then there’s the civil trial and its lower burden of proof where the families of…
