Scott Adams is basically a sort of older version of Chris Chan. A cartoonist whose unreliable narration of own life became part of the whole performance.

But thing is—boy who cried wolf—not sure if he actually has the prognosis of cancer he says he has? It sounds mean, I reckon he does have it, but his past descriptions of health problems were confusing enough that I wouldn't be surprised if he recovers next year and spins it into a story about how he found a cure.



I’ll admit the same thought crossed my mind until I saw a recent video of him.

I'd say that if you have lethal cancer, then you're allowed to be self-centred. I can see how $some_famous_person getting the same cancer as I have might be the trigger to share my own story.

(No comment on whether it's truthful or now; I'm dimly aware Adams is the creator of Dilbert and has "gone Trump" over the last few years, and my knowledge stops there)


Lol, the things you read on the site nowadays ...

I don't think he's making that up.

I absolutely don't think, 100%, not a chance in hell he's making this up.

But I appreciate your comment, it's more data for me to engulf, you never stop learning about the human mind.
