I knew a Dilbert Guy book would be insane, but not that insane.

It gets over used on the internet but Dilbert's Dad is as close to the personification of the Dunning-Kruger effect as you can get.

The last I heard from Dilbert Guy, he was convinced that Hillary supporters were planning to assassinate him for being a Trump dude, so he pretended to convert to the other side.

You missed the part where he, as a master hypnotist, sees how Trump is hypnotizing people (but it's good), and that because he doesn't see how Donald Trump is a fascist, anyone who claims he's a fascist is literally hallucinating.

I liked that period of time where he was cleverly trying to "persuade" people on Twitter by pretending that he was feeling bullied by Clinton supporters.

Dilbert was fine back in its first five years or so when it was directly parodying toxic work cultures. Then Adams stopped working a day job, the Internet took off, and he became more and more unhinged.

There's two good articles I've read on Dilbert Guy's terrible philosophy: https://thebaffler.com/this-american-carnage/dilberts-revenge-adams-gais and the influence that Dilbert has had on the workplace and how it fits into a broader trend of trying to make corporations seem 'personal': https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-gaudy-and-damned-no-2

It's a pretty solid look, honestly. It's the look of a man with a bunch of Camel Cash.

I read God's Debris when I was young and stupid, probably at the age Scott Adams said shouldn't read it because it would blow their minds too hard. It seemed like a dumb stretch even then, though I'll be mildly controversial and say that as far as extended lectures by crazy people books go, it's still better than Ishmael by Daniel Quinn though it's a "getting a bad cold vs getting a bad flu" kind of thing.

X-Ray Pecs posted:I knew a Dilbert Guy book would be insane, but not that insane. By favorite bit of Scott Adams banal insanity is his argument that he can cure cancer with his mind powers because once he felt a lump on his throat and he hoped really hard that it wasn't cancer and then when a doctor finally looked at it it turned out that it wasn't cancer. ![]()

I don't know if they coined the phrase "book-like object", but IDEOTV are the ones who brought it to my attention, and I thank them for it.

It was pretty funny that they gleefully compared it to Robocop, and then said they were weirded out that an anti-violence book featured so much violence.

The early Andy Capp comics are not nearly as horrifying as these podcasters make them out to be. I mean, they couldn't and shouldn't be published in newspapers today, but you'd have to be pretty sheltered to find them shocking when you consider other media of the time.

The first episode for July is You've Been Warned, a work by the one and only James Patterson. Since it seems pretty clear that they're into the special flavor that is Patterson writing now, maybe we'll get lucky and there will be an episode on Zoo in the future. ![]()
