Scott Adams has a lot of interesting things to say. I figure he's worthy of a thread.
He started out as the creator of the Dilbert cartoons, and wrote some books along the way. He presented himself as an expert on persuasion around the time of the first Trump campaign, and came out early saying Trump was a master of the art of persuasion, and would win the election. Then, he ended up being a Covid believer, which put him on the wrong side of things. However, recently he has come to accept that Covid really was a scam, and in fact much of what we see nowadays is a scam.
I came here to post this tweet he made today. I have to agree with his point. Once you reach a certain way of seeing things as they really are, it becomes difficult to even talk to normies, unless you just censor yourself to avoid triggering controversy.

Have you noticed the "system" protects itself by being so outrageously bad that by the time you understand what is happening it makes you look insane to people who haven't begun the journey to awareness? I recently evolved into the "crazy zone," in which I understand too much about how the world works to have a fruitful conversation with someone who thinks we live in a Republic, elections are designed to be fair, the news is real, and free speech still exists in the United States. Imagine a normie seeing what I just wrote.
