Scott Adams broke new ground in death.
Recording his show to his last breath he did something remarkable. He invited those who loved him into his sitting room, shepherded them through their grief, prepared them for his inevitable death, and without hiding any of the ravages of the disease that took him. He somehow did it all with remarkable dignity and stoicism.
Just days ago he laughed through the pain as guests lined up to spend time with him. It was remarkable to observe. No hint of a man putting affairs in order, or seeking last minute reassurances or plaudits. Rather, it was like a father comforting his children.
To document his decline and death, his human interactions and giving closure to those he knew would need it the most, he did the impossible - he made dying on livestream noble. A remarkable end to an already remarkable life.
