Scott Alexander

The people wearing It's Okay To Be White t-shirts got exactly as many accusations of racism as they would have gotten for wearing swastikas directly.

The only person it apparently fooled was Adams, the professional not-being-fooled-by-political-manipulation expert, whose life it randomly destroyed as collateral damage.

Oh well.

Calvin Collins writes, quote, I learned of you through Scott Adams.

Think a lot of what you say is valid, but have to admit I'm one of the people whose lives he changed for the better.

When I first listened, I was a 25-year-old, three times college dropout, and ten years later I have a great career and family.

A lot of that comes from applying his advice.

Subjectively, I'll always love him because of what he gave me, without even knowing who I am."

What helped the most were the reframes and micro-lessons.

Almost every day at work or home there's a situation where one pops into my head.

I'm not anxious, I'm excited.

Laziness is caused by thinking about the cost instead of the payoff.

And systems are better than goals.

The main idea that by changing my thoughts I can change my reality is simple but went a long way for me.

It opened up my imagination to what's possible and made my thinking more positive.
