Could you please explain what you mean by “gratitude”? I assume it's a mind exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy even. But I know no one to thank, and have very little I feel any inclination to thank someone for.
Dr. Andrew Huberman has a good discussion of this. You don’t actually need to “feel” thankful to get a benefit from a gratitude practice. Even just seeing someone else express gratitude will result in the release of brain chemicals such as serotonin and oxytocin that are beneficial for health. The act of doing it is FAR more Important than the feeling of it. I know a man that had terrible back pain for years with no relief from surgery or drugs. He said a person he met told him to write down three things he is thankful for every day. A few months later his back pain was gone and never returned. Dr. Hanscomb and Dr. Dispenza also discuss the power of this. I have definitely improved my mindset by expressing more gratitude over the past few months than I ever had before in my life. Call it self brainwashing.
Well I have to construe “things to be thankful for” as “things that are better than they could be”, because I understand being thankful as a quid pro quo (a cost) to a benefactor (and benefactors are oppressors if they require a quid pro quo). Perhaps “looking on the bright side of life” and “counting one's blessings*” are equivalent.
Thanks for this response. One of the most interesting takeaways I got from Dr. Huberman about gratitude was that getting the mental health benefit from it does not depend on a benefactor as the object of expressing our own gratitude. Even just seeing other people express gratitude toward eachother stimulates the beneficial response within us. It’s something deeper than a transaction.

Scott is referring to the betrayal of his wife. He thinks the people who chose not to get vaccinated also based their decision purely on emotion. He's obviously wrong. What he was redpilled about was he thought he could be in a fulfilling monogamous relationship with a hot wife some 30 years his junior. He was wrong. He boasted on his channel how his "persuasion" powers allowed him to keep his wife very happy. He was wrong.
He is an interesting guy. Very narcissistic but an original thinker. As mean as I sound here, I wish him the very best.

I'm sad to read this news, having enjoyed Scott's humor for years. But since his response to the injection campaign, Scott lost my respect as I witnessed his blindness and Vox Day's mocking of it. The song "Shoot Any Booster" by Vox Day in Jan 2022 was a highlight of this mockery https://video.thesetruths.com/Scjuvak/shoot-any-booster/ and Scott's rant at his ex-wife Shelly felt like a demonic outburst to me. Was he already badly damaged by the injections?
Now, though I feel bad for Scott. Yes, he was a fool. But Our People are trusting. The poisoners need to pay. Our People are too gullible, too "blue eyed", to deal with psychopaths like these in power.
Yes, sad. The fury was directed at his previous ex-wife, Shelly evidently. She'd apparently commented in the live chat on his stream just then, triggering him.
Of course it's not just the blue-eyed who are gullible. I've read that there's an old Germanic expression "blue-eyed" or "too blue-eyed" used to refer to people who are too trusting. And the NW Europeans once created the highest trust cultures on the planet. So maybe being blue-eyed has a correlation with gullibility? I agree that the empathy-deficient parasite overclass seeks to bewitch everyone, regardless of eye color. I imagine they've learned the peoples of different victim groups have different strengths and weaknesses.
What is the basis for asserting the YT livestream commenter "Shelly" was his first wife Shelly Miles? Seems like a coincidence but certainly plausible.
And my original comment elsewhere on these comments was about his second wife Kristina Basham.
My (weak) basis is hearsay, from commenters on the stream where he melted down. They said that the Shelly in the chat was his ex-wife, giving me the impression that they were confident of such from having seen her in the chat before, engaging with (harassing?) Scott there.
The claim rang true to me, because it made sense of Scott's extremely "triggered" reaction. It's hard for me to imagine him being that vitriolic toward a random Shelly.
Vox wrote the lyrics of the cover song, but (as far as I know) did not assemble (or order?) the video using Scott's outburst against Shelly. That assembly was by someone in the community around Vox Day. I believe Vox did his lip-sync of the song, though, perhaps as part of one of his DarkStreams. And then someone else took the initiative to combine the video clip of Scott's go-off against Shelly.
As far as "Was she telling him that he supported the gene-jabs?", I thought she was saying ~"Just man up and admit you were wrong to take the shots, Scott, and we'll forgive you."
But Scott evidently does not like to admit he's wrong. And in Vox Day's map, this is because Scott is a "Gamma" in the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy, and gammas insist on living inside a delusion bubble wherein they are "secret kings" who are smarter than everyone else. Vox's critiques of Scott have mostly been of the form of mocking Scott for his gamma behavior.
The upper middle (professional) class lives in an unreal fantasy bubble. They are self-deluded into believing that the world is safe and there are no predators. They believe that insurance (liability, for doctors) will protect them from predators. (By contrast, the poor are well aware of predators as are the wealthy and the working class.)
Adams is whining about his loss of delusions. Maybe he is doing this to help the UMC realize that they need to rid themselves of their childish delusions and maybe join together to fight off the predators.
My emotional choice was to avoid harming myself and I used reason to figure out that the autoimmune injections weren't safe because:
1) there were no long term animal trials and
2) pharma had liability protection from the autoimmune injections, so pharma didn't have confidence in the injection safety.
I didn't need any ability to do science or need scientific data to make that decision. But I wasn't in panic mode either by the end of 2020 when the vaccines came on line. Others likely were and had a stronger emotional bias than I did on their decision to avoid harming themselves.

I hope Scott Adams finds his way through the troubles he's having, and doesn't give up hope. He is particularly articulate about it, and hopefully it helps others. There are a lot of illusions everywhere around which are crashing to the ground right now, like windows being blown out from an earthquake.
I think humor is a double edged sword. It can be a joy or very painful, if you look that closely at things, and you have to be careful when you turn that on yourself.
Scott Adams, and others in similar straights, if you're listening:
You may well die in this epic battle, but don't shoot yourself in your foxhole, thereby doing the job for the enemy. Get up and advance on them. You don't know how far you can get or how much you can set them back.
us cartoonists dangerously lurch between cynicism despair disgust and absurd optimism hope and romance. cartoonists tend to do the tango with death and waste all they know instead of going out in a burst of fireworks. we're outsiders but we wanna belong even though we say we don't.
i broke the habit by having a Living Suicide: where you're dead anyhow, or gonna be dead, so do what you'd do if you were ALREADY dead and could come back and do what you want without wanting to Belong for once.
people will try and kill you for you! then you realize suicide is such a waste.
I thought about using my illness to just give up and commit suicide by not trying. I believe in reincarnation and I don’t want to come back in a covid vaccinated mother! I choose this life! Much happier since then and slowly getting better.
Sad that Scott Adams has been through so much heartache & pain & loss in such a short amount of time but so have MANY of us.
I’m guessing he doesn’t believe in Jesus?
Because if you’re still alive then God isn’t finished with you yet.
I have suffered constant pain, no teeth so eating problems & pain when eating & after eating.
I had massive cancer surgery in 2007 where they had to cut my face in half, break my jaw so they could cut out half my tongue.
Then after I healed from that they accidentally over radiated me & that killed my thyroid & damaged my spinal cord & caused all my teeth to fall out & my jaw bones too brittle for false teeth.
On top of all that my boyfriend left me.
Then in the last 4 years I lost my younger brother to Lou Gehrig’s disease, lost my Mom to Heart problems, lost my only son & last week I lost my closest cousin to suicide, and suicide is an evil thing to put your loved ones through!
Anyway, I said all that to say: I take one day at a time & try to help at least one person that day, more if possible & is why I try to share so much info in hopes that I can help someone.
I pray that Scott is healed & feels better soon, but it is possible to live a long & fulfilled life even if you are in pain mentally & physically.
God can & will help you through each day & teach us to be thankful for the small blessings in life.
praying for Scott. with his creative God given talent, he could do a lot of good awakening the masses.
Yes, indeed.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Gratitude (and good nutrition,
Including fatty meat and Omega-3 DHA) is the antidote to depression.

Just saw a report of a German saying that Blue eyed => Gullible, Naive, Overly trusting https://youtu.be/vfw3pLfL8rw?t=50
We didn't evolve to be led by psychopaths.
Wow, that Vox Day video is something else. Sad to hear Scott air his divorce fury so publicly.
Yes, sad. The fury was directed at his previous ex-wife, Shelly evidently. She'd apparently commented in the live chat on his stream just then, triggering him.
Ah, makes sense.
It's not just the blue-eyed, surely. We've been getting systematically bewitched by the secretive, top powers that be all our lives.

I know the melody is from an early 90s song but i can't remember the name or lyrics.
It's maddening. Any help?

Ah thanks. I just got it when your reply popped up. lol.
Wonder why Vox used video of Scott dissing Shelly. Shouldn't he have used clips of Scott promoting gene-jabs?
Am I missing context here? Was she telling him that he supported the gene-jabs?

Thanks. If Shelly triggered Scott by mentioning his inability to admit wrongness on the clotshot, it's on-topic and on-target.
Ah wow John and Vox did an even more impressive one: https://soundcloud.com/john-bradley-298288478/best-thing-ever

Hi Sheila,
Sorry to hear of the pain you’ve been through. Keep hanging in there.
Thank you very much.
We appreciate you & all you do.
You’re amazing. Thank you for sharing this.
God bless you!

Vox Day just quoted your post, James. I hope this leads more people here.

That’s great. Thank you for letting me know, Jerome!
Regarding the latest Insta-THOT wife to divorce him Vox Day wrote "she was a handler".

Here is an interview he did in September 2020.
I am guessing that the clotshot has meant that his legs don't work on command and that's why the problem with exercising.
Atrial fib brought on by exercising, maybe?
