A Final Message From Scott Adams

>>152113122>>152113128KWAB
I actually did not believe he had cancer. RIP I guess. It's actually quite a nice, positive closing message if you have to choose one to go with.
>>152113122Rest Well Scott, high-five Jesus for me.
>on death bed>write resume as final messagewhat did he mean by this
>>152113122>>152113128Is that in Comicsans or am I crazy?
>>152113452How else are you supposed to get a job in the afterlife?
>>152113122>>152113128This reads more like a man trying to justify to himself that he has a legacy more than touching on actual highlights of his life. Dilbert is iconic as comic strip, but that's it. It didn't change lives or somehow leave an impact on how people lived. He selling himself as a thinker or an intellectual when he was jusy monkey with a pencil and The Knack for witty office jokes.
>>152113554To be fair you could say that about any comic or cartoon creator, it's all there to entertain and maybe lead to some discussion every now and then. That's it.
>>152113122>>152113128What a pretentious cunt
>>152113554Turns out all of our accomplishments are meaningless and all of our possessions are dust, it's true for everyone. Making Dilbert is as significant to reality and the cosmos as making the first atomic bomb.
>>152113128He seriously spends almost half of this just promoting his books? LMAO
>>152113122R.I.P he will be missed despite the whining of politics brain rotted tards
I wonder if he had a Genco moment like The Godfather where he begs for the healing touch of a certain Don on his deathbed
>>152113347He can high-five and also finger Jesus at the same time, with the same hand.
>>152113122>>152113128I don’t like how he spent these last few months trying to justify himself to the internet. He had children and grandchildren. I feel like a true Christian would have unplugged from the net and spent these last days retelling stories to his family instead of going on Rumble with strangers.
>>152113122the lord cant be gamed like that
>>152113282>>152113452>>152113501>>152113615>Performative trollingCan't you shit up reddit instead?
>>152114761Anon I can't fucking tell if it's in comic sans because I'm at work.Learn to at least spot a redditor retard.
>>152114811It's not comic sans you fucking retard edit nigger. Anyone with a brain can see that
>>152113122>>152113128Legacy? Bitch, you wrote comic strips, and they weren't even good comic strips. Your contributions to humanity is a net negative and you want us to remember you?Oh wait why am I talking to a dead guy
if all it took to go to heaven was to surrender yourself to God in your last breath, then people should just spend their whole lives sinning like crazy since it doesn't really matter how loyal you are to sky daddy.
>>152113501>>152114811In what way does that even remotely look like Comic Sans?
>>152113554I don’t doubt it but there is something to be said for focusing on the impact your work had on people when you’re down to reflecting on what really mattered in life. Never too late to make an effort.
>>152114852You lost
>>152113501with that x-height? you’re out of your mind>>152114916every sans serif looks the same
>>152114964>every sans serif looks the sameSo you think this site is also in comic sans?
>>152113245holy kek
>>152114912https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkhkhg3Vyro
Dilbert was at least entertaining when I was a kid
>>152114706>>152114912ofc that's how it works, did you skip the part with the two thieves who were crucified with Jesus? One of them was saved as he was hanging.
>>152114893>Your contributions to humanity is a net negativeCan you even justify that or is it going to be more ironic tumblr shitposting about how making a comic strip and a few books is literally fascist oppression?
>>152115307the thief had faith before dying thoadams is saying he doesnt believe, but if he were to somehow wake up in heaven *then* he'd have faithafter death is too late
>>152115338This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts..."
Unfortunately for him Shinto is the one true religion
>>152113122lmao, he died suffering a existential crisis and in fear. There couldn't be more adept way to die for him.
>>152115437Nope
>>152115474That's how everybody dies unless it happens immediately or in their sleep.
>>152115307There's a difference between genuine belief and coerced "belief" done purely out of fear for what might await you when you die. Deathbed conversions are possible but it's a false security if you live your life thinking you can sin as much as you like and repeat a simple magical chant right at the end to save your immortal soul.
>>152115338>>152115510>There's a difference between genuine belief and coerced "belief" done purely out of fear for what might await you when you die. This is just mind reading. Do you think he couldn't harbor the capacity for it just because you read some shitposts about him online?
>>152115510>There's a difference between genuine belief and coerced "belief" done purely out of fearNo there isn't. Belief is belief.
Reminder that prostate cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer. He didn't need to die right now but his conspiracy rotted brain caused him to suffer needlessly
>>152115593Reminder he got screened too late to do much of anything about it anyway that wasn't a 50/50. He was already in Stage 3.
>>152113245LMAOBut yeah, RIP Scott, you might have lost it somewhat in your late years, but I did have a big soft spot for Dilbert strips as a kid, so thank you for them
>>152114761>Performative trollingThis is beyond cringe anon its a CV and going ok i love jesussssssssThe man was an artist this seems fake and gay watch all his money and shit magically go to some random person
>>152115609Ignoring his doctors is something he bragged about regularly. I'm sure they told him to get screened yearly but Big Pharma is a scam etc etc
Someone probably should have told him that Pascal's wager only works if you genuinely believe.
>>152115668Anything else in your crystal ball?
>>152115668Source
>>152115622Dilbert got me into STEM, can't hate the comics even though /co/ is being /co/ntrarian about it right nowThe Dilbert Cartoon was by far the best part of the whole series.
>>152115684Where does it say that in the Bible?
>>152115521>This is just mind readingAnd? I never said you or me would be able to determine what is or what is not genuine belief, that's all determined by the ultimate judge in life.>Do you think he couldn't harbor the capacity for it just because you read some shitposts about him online?I wasn't questioning his sincerity in particular>>152115580>Belief is beliefYes, and that belief is only valid if you actually believe in the tenants of it. There is a difference between *saying* Jesus Christ is your savior just because it might give you a potential get out of jail free card and genuinely believing that is the case.
>>152115756Multiple passages about God knowing your heart. Psalm 44:21, Jeremiah 17:10, Samuel 16:7I'm not Christian but I've always been confused by the people who seem to think just saying the words mean anything at all.
>>152115977> Jesus Christ is your savior just because it might give you a potential get out of jail free card vs genuinely believingThere's no way to know what's in another persons heart or what they truly believe, is what anon was saying. Unless you're secretly god and know what's in peoples souls and the matching criteria. For all you know, almost 90% of "Believers" might just be frauds hoping to get into heaven.Would you still be a believer/worshiper if there was no reward or afterlife promised to you?
>>152113122Converting last minute because you're suddenly afraid of going to Hell is not very kosher.
>>152115756Romans 10:9-11 If you confess with your mouth but don't believe in your heart then it is a pointless endeavor. Internal conviction and outward declaration are two parts of a single whole, you cannot neglect one or the other, they are inexorably linked.
>>152115716Anon all doctors tell you to get screened regularly for prostate and colorectal cancer once you hit middle age
>>152113122>>152113128Same energyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDpdtWhfQow
>>152113452Gotta convince jesus
>>152113122>No mention of his greatest legacy
>>152113122>>152113128Alright boys, dig in.
>>152116049Man how you gonna act like a Christian and act all self righteous about who gets saved and who doesn't
>>152116667Holy shit brocolli in a burrito what the FUCK
>>152113122>>152113128I'm not a master persuader hypnotist, but I think a final message from a world famous creator should probably include a heartfelt thank you to the fans that made him a success.
>>152115648Now type that again without crying
>>152116613Whoa it's meatless AND has mango chutney? Now this is some culturally respectful microwavable slop. Somewhere out there is an Indian office worker with a Dilbert strip on his cubicle feeling very represented.
>>152116694Becuz all christians are dumt. /r/eddit! Upboats to the left because right is white which is heckin wrongorino!
>>152115497Not really. Most people die without a guilty conscience and basically resignation.
>>152113122>I'm not a believer but I have to admit the risk-rewardThat's not how it works. You either believe in the genie on a stick, or ya don't. The genie is all knowing you can't pull a scam on God
>>152116694Well true believers would say that only God can judge. But the main point is only really what's true in your heart really matters and the whole pascal's wager thing never made any sense.
>>152116694A good Christian is one that wants to save someone's immortal soul, not lead people down the path of false salvation.
Even if you are an atheist in America, the Mormon Church practices baptism of the dead, so they will eventually store your public death certificate in their archive
>>152117025That's a problem for future soul clone me
>>152113122>>152113128>my body failed before my brainooooh, swing and a miss>pascal's wagerlmao>god my books were so good and I did so much good for the worldwhat a twat
>>152113122>>152113128You think the reason Dilberito was a failure was due to the lack of meat? or did it really just tasted bad?
>>152117145Processed food branded as vegetarian branded tasted way worse 20 years ago than it does today so I imagine it probably tasted like grandma's freezer.
>>152113128>I'm dying but btw my shitty books sold well.Inspiring
>>152117025Mormons have more in common with Scientology than it does Christianity
>>152113122>>152113128F
>>152117145No clue how it looked in US, but where I live vegetarians were fucking starved for decent ready meal options back then So if it were any good, being meatless would have probably been a good selling point and not an issue. But also, like the other anon said, 90% of fake meat and ready vegetarian meals were utter shit back then, fortunately they improved tremendously in the last 10 years or so. Still not as tasty as actual meat or a decent homecooked vegetarian meal, but at least actually tasty in its own right
>>152116877Right, but Dilbertman is dead, monday morning quarterbacking his Pascal Wager is pointless. Or what, you gonna say you're only making a mockery of the man because you wanna save others? Yeah I'm sure you'd never go overboard with that kind of attitude
>>152117248I'm not mocking him personally but I am going to point out that no would should look at him as an example to follow in the slightest with that particular regard and to do so would do nothing but set yourself down an uncertain path.
>>152117248>>152117284>>152117248I'm not a Christian so I don't have to pretend I'm not mocking him.Fuck Scott Adams lolRIPbozoPascal's Wager doesn't work
>>152113122>>152113128>not one mention of his most famous and successful creation>admits his family life was a complete failure and tries to pass off godawful books and podcasts as a replacement legacy>probably could have lived another 20 years with medical treatmentThis truly is the American Century of Humiliation
>>152117333Many such cases
>>152113122>I don’t believe in Jesus but just in case I’ll say some magic words and voila, get out of Hell free cardDoesn’t seem like a genuine conversion.
>>152116821>>152116832At that point he’s making the wager that God does exist, but like a CEO on earth primarily wants lip service. Which is rational from a Dilbert-based worldview. It is the only option left if he feared experiencing something after death but didn’t have faith that his effort at being a good human would be more important than sky daddy club membership.
>>152113122>>152113128>Trying to trick God into letting him into HeavenExtremely Talmudic behavior.
>>152116821>genie on a stickDamn, doesn't know you cringe niggers existed outside of reddit. It's finding a tazmanian tiger.
funny cartoon man: i love you/co/: this is evil!!!!!!!!1
>>152117704do CEO's like it when you don't believe they exist?
>>152117849This is a difficult question to answer as part of a CEO’s role is being preoccupied by the question of whether or not anyone believes they exist. Of course they don’t like it, but they don’t expect otherwise, so they may not know that.
Scott Adams was a total pseud and wrong about everything, but I do wish to register my belief in this thread that it would be wrong for him to go to hell. He doesn't deserve eternal torture for his life.
>>152115338Hazshit Hotel levels of Theology he has then.
>>152117849>>152117873If god cares so much about whether people believe he exists, why doesn't he just show up? He could go on TV and give the prime factors of big ass numbers given to him by live callers or something like that. Or he could make a website where you ask him a question that only you and He know the answer to. If he exists it's clear his revealed preference is to not give a shit whether people think he's real or fake.
>>152117878Personally I can't imagine a creator who would condemn a soul to eternal torture for messing up their 1 mortal life. I share a lot of beliefs with Christians like grace and redemption but eternal damnation is ridiculous to me.
>>152113122>>152113128what a fucking retard.
>>152113122Last minute JCard. niiiiiiice
>>152113128Honestly seems nice and Dilbert made me smile more than any of the lefty virtue signalers haters ever did.
>>152117318Black hands typed this.
>>152117914>If god cares so much about whether people believe he exists, why doesn't he just show up?He did bro, that's the whole point.
>>152113122>>152113128Protestants are so cringe, you only find this behaviour with them. If he was orthodox he wouldn't be doing this just saying)))
>>152117929Dilbert isn't insightful or funny. Office wage slavery is boring.
I remember reading through one of his "Philosophy" books that my dad got for Christmas because he liked Dilbert, and it was just cover-to-cover midwit rambling and sophistry, and this was back in the 90s. I think he was self-conscious about being the "Dilbert Guy" and wanted people to treat him as a serious thinker, but he never seemed to have any real principles or convictions. This really surfaced during covid when he backed the vaxx and that skeptics are only "accidently right". He was just a blabber.>>152117915>God owes me unlimited continuesSure thing, Sanjay.
>>152114852cry about it
>>152117972>Sure thing, Sanjay.Kind of ironic to say since Christianity is just a rabbi making up a new version of judaism by mixing it with eastern philosophy he picked up from travelers from the orient passing through his home town.
>>152117984>Kind of ironic to say since Christianity is just a rabbi making up a new version of judaism by mixing it with eastern philosophy he picked up from travelers from the orient passing through his home town.Literally nobody thinks this outside of /x/ schizos.
>>152118008Well that's the generous version that isn't just "romans made it the fuck up"
>>152114893>Your contributions to humanity is a net negative and you want us to remember you?That a wordy title for your memoir, anon
>>152118020And nobody believes that outside of actual cucks like Richard Carrier.
>>152117972>Strong need for perceiving oneself and being seen as an independent intellectual>Buys into most obvious hoaxes and disinformation campaigns just because following them makes him feel anti-mainstream and specialMany such cases
>>152117915Same but to my knowledge some subsets of Christian just interpret Hell as temporary penance you can escape if you failed on Earth, like Dante’s Inferno, which seems more similar to afterlife myths in other religions.
>>152117915>>152118234Hell isn't part of actual Christianity (ie the bible) it's part of the weird modern cultural interpretation.The bible mentions Hades, Tartarus, Sheol, and Gehenna, but none of those things are hell.
>>152117915>get literally your entire life to make decisionNigga, how much more time do you need?
>>152118086His entire career was contrarianism, when he started Diblert was about how bad the higher ups in offices were, then as his influence grew and he became the boss he started writing strips about how dumb employees are, and then when he left office culture he jumped on the MAGA train, just that boomer/late gen X contrarian narcissism we're all familiar with.
Didn't he marry an ethot and end up taking care of her son after the divorce?
