Adamss two most recent best-sellers areHow to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life(2014) andWin Bigly: Persuasion in a World Where Facts Dont Matter(2017). Adams predicted Donald Trumps election victory (on August 13th 2016) and has explained then and more recently how Trump operates as a Master Persuader, using weapons-grade persuasive techniques to defeat his opponents and often to stay several moves ahead of them.
Adams has provocative ideas in many areas, for example his outrageous claim that 30 percent of the population have absolutely no sense of humor, and take their cue from conventional opinion in deciding whether something is a joke, since they have no way of deciding this for themselves.
InScott Adams and Philosophy, an elite cadre of people who think for a living put Scott Adamss ideas under scrutiny. Every aspect of Adamss fascinating and infuriating system of ideas is explained and tested.
Among the key topics:
Does humor inform us about reality?
Do religious extremists know something the rest of us dont?
What are facts and how can they not matter?
What happens when confirmation bias meets cognitive dissonance?
How can we tell whether President Trump is a genius or just dumb-lucky?
Does the Dilbert philosophy discourage the struggle for better workplace conditions?
How sound is Adamss claim that systems thinking beats goal-directed thinking?
Does Dilbert exhibit a Nietzschean or a Kierkegaardian sense of life? Or is it Sisyphian in Camuss sense?
Can truth be over-rated?
The political side that is out of power is the side that hallucinates the most.
If theres a serious chance were living in aMatrix-type simulation, how should we change our behavior?
Are most public policy issues just too complex and technical for most people to have an opinion about?
In politics, says Adams, its as if different people watch the same movie at the same time, some thinking its a romantic comedy and others thinking its a horror picture. How is that possible?
Does logic play any part in persuasion?
