Scott Adams is Brilliant

One of my favorite places to visit on the Web is Scott Adams' blog (he's the Dilbert guy, in case you didn't know). It's always fascinating and extremely entertaining.

Scott's posts show that he is very smart, very logical and very level-headed.

In today's post, Scott answers a bunch of random questions posed by his fans.

I'd like to highlight two of the questions and his answers.

Question #1

"Q. Do you think that a great goal in life is to leave the world a better place than it was when you arrived?

A. I think you should live your life so that the maximum number of people will attend your funeral."

An excellent answer (assuming the people went to your funeral to pay their respects and not because they're glad you're dead). We should all strive to positively touch people's lives so they will miss us when we're gone.

Question #2

"Q. So do you think George Bush is really an idiot, or incredibly smart and just plays an idiot on TV?

A. I think he is smarter than 90% of the public. But many politicians are smarter than 99% of the public, so the difference can seem disturbing."

Good stuff. Now go read the rest.
