And Scott had the humility and courage to admit that having gotten the Covid shots is what most likely caused his cancer.

It warmed my heart to know that Scott accepted Christ as his personal savior before he took his last breath.

I’d love to see the cartoon Scott would create after seeing the face of Jesus. 🥰

That is a beautiful essay. I didn't have any reality on this man. But I am angry and sad at those who have created and perpetrated the shot and thus caused the untimely deaths of so many wonderful humans. Thank you for the recommendations on Scott Adams' books. I'll be looking into those now. We are fortunate that he left his legacy in print for the rest of us.

You are right about the jabs, but it wasn't just the jabs. The disease itself took many -- one of them was a wonderful man named Herman Cain, president of Godfather's Pizza. Don't read the wikipedia bio of him; the lefties over there blame his death on his being a 'covid denier.'

Read this one instead: https://www.newsmax.com/Insiders/HermanCain/bio-142/

Doesn't even mention the fact that he died back in July 2020 -- just his life achievements.

Wild Bill - the overwhelming majority of people that died from Covid died because they were denied early treatment, as well as being treated with hospital protocols that actually caused their deaths.

Correct. If Cain had gotten ivermectin, he'd likely still be with us.

It’s so sad, isn’t it Wild Bill?😢

The people who smeared Scott Adams today as "disgraced" are oblivious or insane. They don't realize that he loved almost everyone. Every single podcast was the best podcast ever made, because they were all honest, and he believed in dialogue. Scott believed in truth. Scott believed in persuasion.

I love Scott Adams and I will miss him, every day, forever.

Sad to see him go. I keep waiting for a reckoning on the Covid shots. EKO I published your essay. The Insurrection Proclamation a Guest Post by EKO Populisttalkpopulistmessage.substack.com Thank you.

Sylvia - I too am awaiting that reckoning.

Are you familiar with this news?

Sylvia M. Demarest's avatar

Yes I saw that. A cyberattack shut down the journal and kept people from accessing the study. Truly evil—still the word is getting out thanks to people like you!!

Sylvia - trying to get the word out about the clots is quite frustrating. Even some of those that are awake to the truth think the clots are “nonsense”.

What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute. Thank you!

Another brilliant essay Eko. In my humble opinion, your batting average is well above .200. I'm glad Scott converted to Christianity before he passed on. May he rest in peace. Thank you for your moving tribute and may Scott's legacy live on through all of us. May we heed his message to do good in this world as serving God is why we are here.

The seduction of goals versus the discipline of systems - this distinction cuts deeper than most productivity advice ever reaches. Adams understood that goals create a binary of failure or fleeting success, while systems transform failure into data and success into iteration. His willingness to speak uncomfortable truths, knowing the cost, exemplifies the rare courage of someone who'd internalized that principle completely. The real talent stack wasn't his combination of skills, but his ability to compound conviction over time until it became unshakeable. That's the inheritance he left: not comfort, but clarity about what matters when you're no longer afraid of the consequences.

... in our Father's arms like the once lost sheep. Scott, a guy I feel I got to know over many years through the daily calendar on my desk. Looking forward to kickin' it in the promised world hereafter with him ... but not yet.

I never read much Dilbert and knew nothing about Mr. Adams. This was a nice piece to learn about him. I do hope he actually became a believer before he died, it takes more than saying the words. In his written statement you quoted he stated he was not a believer. The implication being he was not a believer when he wrote those words but was just saying the words just in case? As opposed to saying in the past he didn't believe but "do now." As a writer I don't think the past/present text would've slipped by him unnoticed. I hope, really hope, he truly, in his heart and soul, accepted Christ. I really, really do.

Reading other comments here, it would be tragic to learn the covid gene therapy shots caused his death. But they have killed many, many others... Heartbreaking, whatever the cause.

Great column. He was a truly independent thinker and a truth teller.
