Scott Adams on how ‘Loserthink’ is Ruining America
Published 6 years, 4 months ago
Description
Mike talks with Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, one of the most popular comic strips of all time. In recent years, Adams has become an important part of the political conversation through his commentary on Donald Trump as well as the bestselling book Win Bigly. He's got a new book out called Loserthink: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America, which he and Mike discuss on the show.
Topics Mike & Scott discuss include:
- Donald Trump as the ‘most psychologically capable leader we’ve ever had’
- why people think like losers
- the value of mockery
- the loserthink surrounding climate science
- why Adams watches both Fox and CNN (as painful as that may sound)
- how and why to think like an engineer
- the use of hyperbole and thinking like a leader
- the ‘48 hour rule’ the ‘20 year rule’ and the ‘magic question’
