I’ve had one of Scott Adams’ blog posts bookmarked in my Bloglines account for a while now. Since it applies to so many different things I’ve been wanting to discuss [ranging from beliefs to cockiness to quantum physics to society to jealousy to reality], I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open that can of worms just yet. I think I finally will today…
I HIGHLY recommend you read Scott’s post: In Over My Head.
I’ll probably be making reference to that post in a few of my future entries. The main things that struck me about the post were:
1) How “luck” seems to come naturally to him…but is it really luck?
2) Some of the nasty/whiny comments that [obviously jealous] people left about him being cocky/arrogant.
His most recent “lucky” event (which finally prompted this entry) is how he figured out a way to overcome Spasmodic Dysphonia. If it is medically verified, he would be the first person in history to have recovered from this.
I love the way he seems unconstrained by social norms and everyday “reality”. He clearly doesn’t hesitate to make things happen. I believe I’ve had a lot of “luck” in my time and I’m pretty good at making things happen, but Scott Adams seems to be faaar better trained than I am…I’m hoping to get there eventually! ;)
