Scott Adams passed away this week, that goofy uncle who found an unexpected spot at the eye of the American political hurricane. From the outside critics accused him of unspeakable horrors, from those who caught the show it was a master class on reframing. I often didn’t agree with him. One time I was mad enough I didn’t watch again for over a year. He wrote two of the best ‘self-help’ how-to-think books I have ever read and I would admit that even when I was mad at him.
Because the man had an ego without boundaries matched with courage – let me compliment him for a second on how he knew when he was going to die, made a video saying, “goodbye for now” and closed out things with a bow. It was top notch and must have taken the fortitude of a mountain. He helped shape a lot of policies and things that happened that we will never fully know about. A keen observer and one of a kind. He will be missed. And one final note as someone who watched many hours of Scott and shared coffee with him – he’s not a racist, never once was a racist. That was not why we disagreed. If anything, as he often said, he was “somewhere left of Bernie!” It’s disgusting how the NYT and other China run media smeared him. I guess that’s how we know he was one of the best of us.
I think maybe what I have isn’t Ehlers-Danlos but Soto Syndrome, which is less um’ glamorous? It accounts more for the ’tism and how weird I look. I fit Soto to a T. Alas. It’s made me a little forlorn this week – I now know that I don’t just feel different from everyone, I am. It’s been quite difficult for me to focus and fight fatigue this week.
I am wearing a CGM again. My glucose readings are better now then they were as a Carnivore. Much better. Not normal – but better. Weird hu? Yeah.
This week I went on a long walk with the kids and went to the coffee shop with J and otherwise it was a pretty good week. I was unusually tired. Had trouble waking up from sleep in the morning. I wish I lived next to a gym and could just pop in and waste time everyday and get into shape. Having dizzy spells that are short and happen a lot when I’m sitting. Kinda seizure feeling but I don’t know. This next week going to have a calcium artery scan on my heart.
