Hard to say whether Adams is suffering from online radicalisation and cognitive decline, or whether he was always of this opinion and online radicalisation and cognitive decline have just meant he no longer has the self-control to hide it.
- totetsu 4y agoit can be called 'online radicalisation', but the ease with which many people I know can just start repeating crazy ideas they've heard on some podcast or something.. really scares me. Its like so many people on a search for meaning or dissatisfied with some part of their life are being funneled into people transmitting batshit crazy ideas.

Hasn't most of Adams’ public life and career been a very sharp public reaction to being passed over for promotion on a basis he has always blamed on racial and gender politics, even if in the early part of it more of that resentment was channelled into more broadly palatable forms than it has been recently?
