>>106447735I was thinking about it the other day.
it covered a lot of crazy, philosophical shit. Like pharmaceuticals selling placebos in place of actual medicine, companies working together in races to the bottom on human resources, people putting their faith in technology that even the people who made it don't understand, the cobbling together of infrastructure into a spaghettified mess which will fall apart someday, art being a way for people to weed out bad cultural phenomenons from one another, and people cooking historical books and facts to paint themselves in the best light.
The Blue Duck episode is what I think was probably the best Dilbert episode ever because of how relevant it is today. It's an entire episode describing why our current cultural trends are so vapid. This was made in the mid-90's before the internet accelerated cultural trends to swap out every week or so.
You don't see people making these kinds of criticisms today because:
>>106448126>Daily reminder that exposing oneself willingly to Scott Adams' work is problematicThere we go, this is why.
The only reason Scott became a trumper is because his entire presidency was something he predicted coming true waaay back in a book he wrote years ago. A manager-type who was dumb as bricks but a smooth talker who shrugs off political attacks because he has mastered every corporate trick in the book.
In the same book he also wrote that said manager would be a terrible president policy-wise because managers only skill is to make policies which best benefit their own position, not any person below them.
On that note, he's right. That's why he can't shut up about it anymore.
That doesn't make anything he's ever said wrong. If anything, it just shows that things haven't changed all that much in terms of management and business hierarchy.
