Investing massive amounts of care and interest in to fake characters and products controlled by rich strangers was really stupid

Not at all.
Scott Adams has a good guide somewhere on deprogramming people, I think this is the one I'm thinking of: https://www.scottadamssays.com/episode-1313-scott-adams-wokeness-cult-deprogramming-cnn-cancels-abe-lincoln-north-korea-misses-trump/
For some reason, it's been pulled. Even trying to Direct Download it doesn't work.
Still, I do feel it's important to at the very least plant that seed of doubt in someone's mind.
The odds of actually changing how someone views the world are close to nonexistent; however, in my experience, if you can make it so they think they changed their minds on their own, then you'll have much more success. You just need to plant seeds.
Obviously, the more frequently you can do so the better the chances for success are. The concept that people truly can be their own "journalist" in 2021 is something that seems to be almost like an epiphany for some. Of course there's always those who simply prefer to be told their view or to find the path of least resistance. I don't think there's much that can be done there without working with them more.

I'm assuming you're already familiar with his work based on your previous posts.
Sure, I know who Scott is and I've seen some of his morning videos. But I haven't read his books or listened to his podcasts. I don't really listen to any podcast, though. I've always enjoyed what I've seen from him; however, he can be exceedingly obstinate in his positions at times. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The bad thing being it closes his mind off to information that's valuable to understanding a bigger picture and the good obviously being that he has confidence in himself — which makes it clear that his path to learning is one of self-discovery.
Although I have been very interested in reading his books I haven't gotten around to them yet. They're on my list of things to read. I just haven't gotten around to them.
Thanks for the link!
