The other day I watched what was supposedly his last Coffee with Scott Adams only to see that he is still out there today streaming live.
He is talking about how much pain he is in and how sometimes he is surprised he still wakes up (or possibly is upset he still wakes up). He is having issues talking at this point. You can watch day to day as he seems to become weaker and weaker. He may have a day where he seems better than others, but one has to believe that his death is quite imminent.
All that being said, it seems like his social media presence is still important and quite possibly something that helps keep him going. I wonder out loud if he will still be streaming on the same day he dies. That would in some ways be fitting.
I don't really even know how to feel about this. I loved the Scott Adams blog (I probably read everything he wrote) but I dropped off substantially when he went to the streaming. I just do not have the 45 minutes to an hour a day to watch a full podcast. I just don't. But when I did have some time, I generally watched the intro and searched for the subjects I wanted to listen to, but I rarely watched a full episode. Adams had such a unique and intelligent perspective on things. I can actually say without hesitation that he is one of the few social media players whom I can actually say I learned things from, including life lessons. If I had the time to listen to podcasts, I would have probably had him at the top of my list.
It's sad that he became such a lightning rod for predicting the Trump win and being somewhat of a Trump admirer. People took it out on Dilbert, some syndicates refused to publish it, and he ended up going independent because of it. Funny thing was that Adams took issue with Trump as well, but apparently you are not supposed to give credit where credit is due anymore. At least not when it comes to politics. This seems even sadder and unnecessary today as we watch Scott fade away before our eyes.
Never miss an opportunity
Jack on X: "Scott Adams has officially passed away. This one hurts. 💔 Rest in peace to a true patriot. Here was one of his final messages: "I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and look forward to spending an eternity with him." https://t.co/VvnFWCibOE" / X
My dad died of small cell lung cancer. Incurable. Was given the classic X months to live speech from the doc. The Chemo worked wonders for short periods of time. But he went from living a full life to not remembering who I was in about 4-5 months. Like Adams, he also started to become more religious down the stretch. I think that is a normal reaction to mortality.
Wishing you the best with your wife and her medical issues. 2025 was a year for medical issues in my family as well. Nothing worse.
Like him shortly after being forced to take the clot shot my BIL gets a glioblastoma and dies, my wife is diagnosed with lymphoma, next visit with her oncologist is to determine whether or not to install a port for the chemo. They experimented on us.
God speed to him and I dont blame for his Pascal’s Wager last week
