Summary

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, and I were chatting about all the hypocrisy in the world, his latest persuasion techniques, and the question that he DESTROYED in 2016: who will win the election? He called it 18 months in advance for 2016. I want to know what he says now! And why? And I wanted therapy for dealing with social media. So I called him and we did a podcast. Most importantly, we talked about how to turn the level of hypocrisy against the hypocrites. Surviving and thriving in the age of hypocrisy. I write about all my podcasts!
