This and Sam Harris realising that all his fellow travellers were both evil and stupid is my fave source of schadenfreude at the moment.
I think Scott had a subscriber only post a couple of weeks ago that was tiptoeing in the direction of admitting that all his BS concern about woke universities helped get us here but I can now find no trace of it (though I'm not a subscriber so that may be normal).
Still not read it as it's paywalled, but there's a response that suggests "the edgelord were right" implying Scott has started to realise the edgelords were wrong (though of course he can't just say that simply so it's all very vague):
