You'd think he would, IDK, put some cones out or something. Do anything to signal to drivers that there's an obstruction in the lane before they are in a position where they can't switch to a different one.

For some reason, I watched this whole video. And as it played on, as the father of five sons, all I could see is a little boy who was somehow failed dramatically by his parents. The manic episode doesn't fool me. This poor guy is so lost.

Back in the 90s, one of my best friends, an Idaho farm boy of German stock who was built like a Mack Truck, was given drugged tea at a Morocco carpet shop. He bought two carpets, feeling no connection to what he was doing.
He disputed the charges on his credit card. Free rugs.

I’m tired of being angry. I’ve learned to stop turning it on my family, but I need to be kinder to everyone else. That means finally facing lots of childhood wounds. I’m starting on that journey now, hopefully with some qualified help. If I’ve been harsh with you, I’m sorry.

We ALL need to understand this.
I understand Scott Adams’ point. It’s false, but contains truth. The question: Is he interested in correcting his error, or does he prefer to fend off the information to protect himself (or his public persona) from damage he imagines would follow an acknowledgment of his mistake?

Beauty is more powerful than any argument.
