Re: von Neumann
Are we again permitted to reference or regard Dilbert cartoons without the consequent sanction of external cancellation?
You probably are, yes.
The problem with the digital world is the lack of any patina of time. Comments written 20 years ago are judged with the lens of society today.
Now, I certainly made jokes or comments 20 years ago that I wouldn't do now, either through maturity or simply because they're not socially acceptable any more. (The term 'Gay' to mean 'rubbish' in the early 2000s is a good example) If I expect people to contextualise the things I say, I have to at least give them the same level of respect.
Unfortunately that means we have to also accept it when the person in questions opinions go the other way. I have a friend who's well down the conspiracy rabbit hole. 20 years ago I respected his opinions on things, not so much now. That can be the same with Scott Adams.
Also.. and this is a concept that's long been lost to the ages... but the truth is people are complex, I can enjoy Adams incites on workplace culture, whilst still disliking his views on other things.
