Don't tell anyone, but Robots Read News (my alternative comic) will start reporting the news exactly the way CNN does and that will be the joke. All I will do is abbreviate things.
Use the right arrow to see the second one.
I generally don't do this form of humor, but because the point is freedom, I made an exception. Do you think newspapers will let this one in? This is just a first draft of a comic that would run 6/20/20 in case you want to later see how it went.

I got this excellent explanation on LinkedIn of why we CAN just print trillions of dollars out of thin air without much risk IN THIS UNIQUE SITUATION. Worth a read.

Hi Scott. Your wondering on this mornings “coffee” is exactly the thing I have been pouring over for decades. I did my masters on the Great Depression and monetary theory from a non-standard perspective (because the mainstream has fundamental flaws in its assumptions)
On money printing
Point one - In normal circumstances printing money creates bank reserves. This would throw the Fed Funds interest rate off target, so normally you can't do that.
However – now that interest rates are at zero, this does not matter. The Fed could print and not alter the fed funds rate.
(Geek note - skip if not needed. - If the treasury does not issue bonds to mop up those reserves, the supply of bank reserves lowers the Fed Funds rate off their target rate. The buying and selling of bonds ...
Who had the better Twitter slap-down on their critic, Emily Compagno or me?
Episode 973 Scott Adams: Trying Again With Sound...From My Car
I just watched CNN's Jake Tapper do a story about three people in the same family who died from coronavirus and had "no underlying conditions," per Jake. He also showed their photos. Two of them were overweight and one looked like a senior citizen.
I'm opposed to fat-shaming, but I think we have to be honest about health during a health crisis. I believe it is still the medical community's opinion that weight is an underlying condition.
This is the sort of post I can't put on Twitter without getting cancelled.
You could think of this as a series of micro lessons on one topic.
I pulled together the best links to describe Simulation Theory, followed by my videos on how to program your reality. They flow well together as sort of a journey.
For context, I am not saying the content described here is “true.” The larger idea I explore is that we can program our experience of life by changing our filters on how we see things. If this filter makes you happier, use it! If not, maybe another gets it done for you.
If you are not already familiar with this topic, better put a seatbelt on the top of your head because your skull might pop right off.
Think of this as a series of lessons that are best consumed in the order below.
And so we begin...

I recently posted my sad story of working for years and saving my money to buy a mini bike when I was a kid. Eventually I got one, but the chain fell off every minute and I never achieved my dream of actually owning a mini bike that worked.
I also taught you how to program your mind by creating “stories” that become the code for who you are. One of my core stories is that no matter how long it takes, and no matter how hard, I will get what I want.
Yesterday, I bought an electronic bike. Mini bikes are not street-legal or useful where I am. This thing is way better. Legal everywhere, and makes you feel like you have super strength. It only electronically assists when pedaling, which is perfect. Still great exercise, just go farther and faster.
I can rationalize the purchase as a good way to get exercise. But I know that wasn’t my prime motivation.
My motivation was my story.
So, fifty years later, I had a loose end to tie up to keep my story intact.
Here it...

Preview of an upcoming Dilbert comic that will run on 6-2-20. (They get colorized before you see them published.) The backstory for those who don't read Dilbert is that the pointy-haired boss's assistant is always trying to find ways to cause him to die by "accident."
You probably think you already know how to unload groceries from bags. But do you?
Episode 969 Scott Adams: I'm Here. Where Are You?
Here's a preview of a Sunday Dilbert comic scheduled for July. I'm guessing we will still be wearing masks at work then. I explain in the video how the General Flynn meeting-notes story turned into this comic. The Sunday comics are drawn way ahead of deadline because they require more production work at the newspaper end. I will add color to this one before submitting it. You see it here before my editors.

Here are some confidential photos of my Man Cave, also known as the Fortress of Garagitude or The Place I Put Things Before I Discard Them. It is my favorite place because every object, color, and position of things has been personally engineered by me to make me feel creative. This is a brain hack in which you I the environment to tune my brain to a specific skill. Don't be a victim of your environment; use it as a tool.
And so begins Dilbert in the age of #coronavirus Soon all the characters will be in masks, which is great for me because it saves a ton of time drawing mouths.
You had to be there, but this came from a whiteboard talk I gave on Periscope. The question was about how to "hack" your own brain, essentially reprogramming it. I'm a trained hypnotist and have been fascinated by that question for decades. I find it helpful to think of the brain as being a product of power times design. The power comes from doing the items in the Power column. The design comes from intelligently implementing the tools in the Design columns.
