Adams has been a loon for a long time, his Dilbert Future book talks about his personal philosophy which is straight up "Name it and claim it" theology except without the Jesus. Adams basically attributes all his good fortune to his own talent and hard work.

And then of course that means everybody who is struggling, well those people just didn't want it enough, they aren't putting in the hard work like Adams. Frankly it's their fault thinks Adams.

Dilbert Future is twenty years old.

To be fair that line of think is a problem here on HN, among millenials, and among older generations as well. Americans in particular, but our species as a whole need to learn to separate the ideas of success and merit.
