Perhaps people can decide by themselves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams#Political_views

Using wikipedia as the arbiter of truth is ridiculous. The man spoke about all sorts of things for an hour a day, almost every single day for years - to boil down his thoughts and opinions to 4 paragraphs that other people wrote is asinine.

Do you have a better link that can help people understand the gist of his political opinions that isn't Wikipedia?

People are downvoting this as a knee-jerk reaction, but that page actually does a way better job of explaining the issues.

Maybe you could share some of his well-reasoned positions with us, then? :)

Well I'm certainly not going to spend thousands of hours listening to his talking to decide how to feel about his thoughts and opinions.

That's fair, but also maybe don't base an opinion on 4 paragraphs from wikipedia on topics obviously nuanced.

I would imagine whoever wrote those 4 paragraphs has researched a lot more than I did about his political views. If someone with better sources went there and corrected any mistakes made previously, with referenced demonstrating it, the article would be much improved.

We all have imagined that. But taking a look at the sources in Wikipedia articles becomes ... interesting.

If you have better sources, then please, improve the article.

What should I base it on? You?

You don't need to have an opinion on everything. Clearly you don't care about this or you would spend the time watching some of his videos or reading his articles that expound on his "controversial" statements. It's ok to just say "I don't know" rather than thinking you're well informed because Wikipedia says so.
