      Wiley Miller (Non Sequitur) had a personal vendetta against webcomics in general, and specifically beef with Scott Kurtz (PVP, Blamimations). 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.

    That college story is instructive for everything Adams has ever said. It can't just be that he fell behind in school, got sick, but then rallied to finish. No, it has to be "I was so far behind they wanted me to quit!" and "It was the worst case of mono anyone had ever seen!" and "Then I didn't just catch up, I got ahead of everybody else!"

I guess that tracks with his comic, he was able to write it because he was intimately acquainted with how assholes operate in an office environment.

      When he mentioned this, I was a little surprised about the idea of the vacancy. I thought Calvin and Hobbes ended in 95, the same year Far Side did. Bloom County exited in 89, and it did leave a hole in comics. If I was to point at something else as a contributing factor, it'd be the enormous success of the Simpsons, as it really developed a hunger for counter-culture media, as Dilbert was. By the time Calvin and Hobbes and Far Side were gone, Dilbert was already an established phenomenon.

    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.

      My dad got the lung cancer (avid smoking enthusiast) about 25 years ago. But, he got it in an unusual part of his lungs: right in between the lungs. 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.

    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.

      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."

Most people’s ideas follow a bell curve- with most ideas being average/fine and a few being good or terrible. Adam’s is an inverse bell curve. 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.

    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.

    Scott Adams always struck me as little more than a troll and a compulsive liar. Maybe, at one point, he genuinely had a bit of a counter-culture, progressive side, but I think the ultimate lesson is clear: You either die Dilbert, or live long enough to see yourself become the pointy haired boss.

      I'm middle aged and about to max out my career tree. So, I either stagnate, find a new career, or become management. I've read and agreed with way too many Dilbert comics over the years to honestly think that management isn't the worst option.

      @@Lazarus_G Honestly management can be okay as long as you know what you are doing. The big trip up is that most people who reach management did so from something other than their managing skills. 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.

      I must admit I never read the Dilbert comic as it's not well-known in my country, but Office Space is an underrated comedic classic and still one of my all-time favorite films and really the best and funniest take on the dullness and pointlessness of office life, another underrated masterpiece from Mike Judge (who, unlike Adams, is a real genius that gave the world a lot of great stuff and, unlike Adams, also seems to be a really cool dude that would never ruin his career is such a way). Also, Office Space started the trend for office-themed films and TV shows. Only two years after Office Space, the first season of the original UK version of The Office, which was eerily similar in premise, premiered and finally brought the topic to the mainstream.

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".
