Late Scott Adams an American Cartoonist and Author gave out his last message which he shared on his Twitter handle about his begining days as an author and how he gave his life to Christ for readers to reminisce on what may be a life changing read, especially on his books which impacted people's life. Scott while alive ran a podcast - 'coffee with Scott' which he talked about Bitcoin, and was
known for saying, "Bitcoin is one of the greatest pieces of persuasion the world's ever seen", noting that Satoshi used the psychology of scarcity, hipness and greed to persuade or convince people to adopt Bitcoin and handle it as a store of value. He's known for his contributions in words about the Bitcoin technology, and as an influencer in the US political background.

Genuinely: "womp womp".
I liked some of his comics, but i feel like something happened to some people during Covid. And Adams was one of them. Maybe they always though like that, but it was just painful and and embarrassing to follow how vocal and stuck many of the "influencers" were against minorities, and how they choose to dig their graves against imaginary enemies.
I wasn't insulted for him being edgy. I was just experiencing second hand embarrassment, and that some influencers never understood. They though that they were victims of "woke", but instead they had lost their edge. And that edge isn't constant. It moves with the culture. All good comedians know this, they know that it's a good thing for comedy, that someone needs to think before they say first thing that comes to their head.
