This gets me wondering, has this crowd just gotten themselves that wrapped up in a “goddammit, ivermectin has got be good for SOMETHING the medical establishment is wrong about!!” mentality?
I watched the whole thing. Great show. I didn’t realize at first it was “Part One”, as I got toward the end and realized there was so much they didn’t talk about. Then I realized there is a Part Two.
If anyone listens to the whole thing (believe it or not, despite being an hour and a half long it was enjoyable the entire time) and can’t find part two, it’s here:
(I’m picky about my podcasts. There are only 3 I listen to, and only one regularly, but this one actually seems worth my time.)
Oh crap and I just found another one by the same people. It’s specifically about Scott Adams and Trumpism.
I adore this podcast. I know it’s intimidating at five episodes, but I can’t recommend the one on G Gordon Liddy highly enough. That guy was bat shit.
Good. He’ll die sooner.
I take note in my list of candidates for next year’s Celebrity Death Pool in case he makes it till January.
Well, most people don’t get a chance to go to a good school. As Brad DeLong, a pretty conventional economist and author of Slouching Towards Utopia noted, there is undoubtedly someone who would be a much better economist than he is who will never get close to the opportunity to explore and find out.
In retrospect, apologies for the hijack.
I guess that’s true. I was poor and went to a good school on scholarship. I was a legally emancipated minor and got a lot of aid as a result. That’s just the reality I know.
I think organizations like Mensa can be useful in certain contexts. If for financial or other reasons you don’t have access to intellectual peers it seems like a good idea.
I know as a child there were no such thing as gifted programs at the schools I attended and it kinda sucked not being able to relate to my peers.
The Mensa Genius Quiz book by Abby Salny is very good.
Am I alone in having a twinge of doubt that Adam’s actually has prostate cancer?
Has prostate cancer? Yeah, I’ll believe that.
Dying in the next few months? Ummm…
@DSeid: Depends on how successful his gofundme sympathy campaign is. If he really starts raking it in, I predict the cancer’s progression will slow significantly.
In case it isn’t obvious, color me vastly cynical about all of the MAGA celebrity (read “grifting”) class.
What gofundme campaign?
The one that I anticipate he (or an agent / front of his) will create soon. Perhaps not on the actual gofundme platform, but some other variety that’s not quite so concerned about their cleanish reputation.
So not an actual fundraising campaign but one you imagine will be created? I’m no fan of Scott Adams but I really doubt that someone as wealthy as he is (or should be, given his commercial success) would be asking for contributions.
Why would he lie about it? Is he asking for money? What would he get by making it up?
Devil’s Advocate: sympathy, fawning, a weapon for his fans to use against his detractors.
Like Givesendgo, which can and does do fundraisers for criminals?
Scott Adams never deserved more than an annoyed frown from me, not a gleeful gloating at the prospect of his death. And this long before he went ‘round the bend like so many others post-9/11: Norman Solomon’s The Trouble with Dilbert gave me a think years ago.
In April, Michael Tilson Thomas had to set down his baton for the last time due to brain cancer. That elicits more sadness, because he brought us things like this and only this:
I’m on some cancer subreddits and people complaining that people are telling them that ivermectin will cure their cancer is not unheard of. Luckiky no one has been dumb enough to say that to me.
To tout how his alternative medicine approach cures him. In comparison to the course Biden will have. For the attention.
