Scott Adams: In his own words
As regular readers know, 100% of my political predictions for 2015 were correct, thanks to the Master Persuader filter. For example, I predicted… 1. Trump would gain popularity and win the nomination, not fizzle as every other pundit predicted. (I predicted it in August, based on his skill set. So far,…

Read MoreSoon the media will start to obsess with the Iowa caucuses. They will repeatedly tell us two things: 1. The Iowa Caucuses are a squirrelly little affair that predict nothing. 2. The Iowa Caucuses are important national news. Iowa presents an interesting strategic decision for Trump. On one hand, he…
Read MoreMy favorite pundits this election are Diamond and Silk. This tweet had me laughing all morning. It only works because of their comic sensibilities. Look at the perfection of the photo expression and body language. I would love to know how many pictures they took before they got that one. I…
Read MoreI understand why people are upset about Donald Trump’s racist vibe. He’s spreading racist breadcrumbs all over the place. I shall list a sample. So far, Trump… 1. Implied that Mexicans are rapists (except for some who are good people). 2. Wants to temporarily ban all Muslims from immigrating until…
Read MoreSuppose that instead of temporarily banning Muslim immigration as Trump proposes – which offends our sense of religious tolerance – we ban violent anti-Americanism, but we do it statistically instead of individually. That way we can discriminate in the service of national self-defense and not feel so icky about it….
Read MoreAs the American presidential race heats up, you’ll see a lot of bad thinking emerge, especially mine. So I thought it would be useful to agree on some ground rules to keep each other in line. I give you my first draft (subject to your improvements) of A Voter’s Guide to…
Read MoreToday Trump said that Hillary Clinton “Killed hundreds of thousands of people with her stupidity.” He was talking about the Middle East and Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. According to the Master Persuader filter, that statement will set off a week of media yapping about how many thousands of people Clinton “killed” with…
Read MoreI’m planning to take a month off from cartooning, sometime soon, to finish work on the Dilbert movie script and launch a start-up that’s just about ready. The only wrinkle in my plan is that I need to create a comic every day. So…here’s my tentative plan. I’m looking for…
Read MoreUpdate: I will be raising the price of this offer $100 million per month until November because of my 2015 track record. Act now! 😉 As regular readers know, I have been writing about the persuasive skills of Donald Trump. You might also know I’m a certified hypnotist and I’ve been studying…
Read MoreI’ve been out of the loop for a few days, working on a start-up. (More on that in the coming weeks.) So I haven’t been following the news. Let’s check in on Donald Trump and see if he’s done anything newsworthy lately. Checking… Uh-oh. Okay, you might want to know…
Read MoreOver at 2016 Presidential Campaign Predictions they are tracking pundit predictions for the presidential race, including mine [no longer available]. But they have my Trump prediction dated in November. The first time I predicted he would win it all was August. I revised the prediction to “landslide” in October. In the unlikely event that my August…
Read MoreDonald Trump is in hot water lately for treating a writer with a joint disease the same way he treats everyone else. Most people, including me, felt Trump’s behavior was appalling. If Trump shakes off that controversy and goes on to win the presidency, he has some big campaign promises…
Read MoreAs expected, I got all the bottom-feeder traffic from Gawker and the rest of the Outragist sewer system streaming over to this blog today. So I think we’re ready for tomorrow’s topic, which will be the start of the Rationality Engine process to explore whether the United States is still…
Read MoreOne interpretation of DAESH is that a bunch of horny young males are pursuing the only options they have in their society to obtain women. DAESH soldiers are encouraged to rape captives. They have an elaborate system for doing just that. Reports from the region say DAESH uses access to…
