I remember when Dilbert was funny-ish, circa 1993. Then gradually stopped being funny, circa 1995-97. Then turned actively un-funny and offensive by about 2000. This is LONG overdue.

(Seriously, working from home is definitely not for everyone: you can gradually lose your grip on consensus reality and be captured by some really weird and unfortunate echo chambers. Scott Adams is a perfect example: it wasn't inevitable that he'd end up here, but the seeds were planted in fertile soil early on.)

@cstross This is always a bigger problem for the wealthy and successful than for those who aren't, because the incentives of people surrounding the wealthy are to indulge them, rather than challenge them. The more narcissistic they are, the worse this is.

But there were also signs that the Dildude had a propensity for weirdness was the last chapter in the Dilbert Future, where he starts to talk about being able to make your own luck and change reality.
