[Florian Gallwitz @FlorianGallwitz]

Ich habe diese Visualisierung der Tagesschau jetzt eine Minute lang angestarrt und frage mich immer noch, ob das Manipulation ist oder einfach nur abgrundtiefe Dummheit.

[Jorge Peter @hippoblue]

@FlorianGallwitz can you fix the chart, Grok?

@VeroWendland Das eine sind schwere politische Fehlentscheidungen, die letztlich zum Zerfall führen. Das zweite ist die die Beschreibung unterschiedlicher Sichtweisen ("two movies on one screen" nach S.Adams)

[Naval @naval]

On Scott Adams.

A man finds, to his astonishment, that he exists. After the elation of childhood wears off, he asks, who am I, why am I here, how does this work? These are hard questions, so after a brief struggle, he selects a readymade answer and goes about the motions of life.

Scott Adams was not such a man. He was a live player, ever curious, intent on figuring out this simulation that he found himself in. From first principles, Scott unraveled, understood, and ultimately controlled his own reality. He hacked himself with affirmations, others with persuasion, the world with simultaneous sips. He explained people as moist robots, two movies happening on one screen, his world as Gods’ debris. He carved a personal mission to “be useful,” and made us all better writers, public speakers, and persuaders. He preached the footwear theory of motivation, the Adams Law of slow-moving disasters, the skill stack, systems over goals, and of course, the Dilbert Principle.

Besides cartooning, philosophizing, and teaching, Scott rose to the occasion and displayed, “the one virtue that cannot be faked” - courage. Scott had the courage to speak honestly as he saw it - about Trump, about his nation, and about his time, even though it cost him friends, audience, money, and his ticket to polite society. Scott had true courage, the kind that makes you unpopular, the kind that is always and everywhere in short supply,

At the end, as any hacker of reality, Scott covered all of his bases - he left as a Buddhist, a Christian, and a player in the Simulation.

Scott, we didn’t get enough time with you, but you were a mentor and a marvel. You were useful and you were courageous. You were incompressible and indivisible. One of a kind, and generous with your drawing, writing, and speaking. Unlike your squealing critics in the chattering class, you will be read generations from now.

On this earth there are many long-lived hells but no lasting heaven. Each heaven must be created and nurtured, ex-nihilo, from mind and from mud. Scott, you created a small heaven for us all, and to a larger heaven you go.

A man finds, to his astonishment, that he no longer exists. He asks why, what it was for, and how will the new reality work? When the rest of us get there, we’ll find Scott, ever useful, ready to explain, having figured it all out.

Notes:
• First line paraphrasing Schopenhauer.
• Courage quote via Taleb.

@maternus ... says another great mind

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

The world lost a great man today.

I remember seeing Dilbert comic strips as a kid growing up in Saudi Arabia. Little did I know that decades later, I'd get the chance to hang out with its creator and interview him several times.

Scott was always gracious and kind to me. Even approaching death, he remained a fighter and tried to be useful until the end. He didn't give up.

Millions of people around the world have been positively impacted by his work and I'm grateful to be one of them. What a brilliant mind.

Thank you @ScottAdamsSays! May you rest in perfect peace. 🙏🏾
