Just listened to tha Scott Adams episode. It hasn't aged well.

It was no better on day 1. Just utterly specious rationalizations and flights of fancy.
-
Thank you for framing my own thoughts on it perfectly. The mental gymnastics Scott had to go through to justify his claims were ridiculous.
-
Yes, to even begin to take his claims seriously one would need to believe that Trump is some sort of next level genius seeing 3 moves ahead.
-
Exactly my thoughts, that episode is incredibly educational though, its an insight on the mind of the "rational" Trump supporter
-
Irony was that Adams purported to call out cognitive dissonance & confirmation bias, while engaging in both w/ embarrassing obliviousness.
-
Totally agreed. He also criticized Harris for using analogies and would then immediately use one himself.
-
I know. His whole argument is framed by his "two movies on the same screen" analogy!

Hint.
@ScottAdamsSays master persuader arguments are all after the fact rationalizations. Just spin. Tedious. -
One thing Trump has excelled at persuasion-wise is lowering expectations. Kudos.
-
His supporters have gone from MAGA to Eh, lots of people are as bad as neo-Nazis.

Sam, let me guess: you haven't exorcised your scott adams demons. He's a bullshitter, but he caught you off guard. You should revisit.
-
Extemporaneous talking is a minefield of wit vs wit, but the written or transcribed word is very easy to analyze and *get right.*
-
I recommend you do that with your episode with Scott Adams, and really nail down at how much of a bullshitter and equivocator
-
he is. In written form its very easy to see. And then *exorcise* those demons with argument. That's my recommendation.
