I don't want to speak for him, but I think he's been sued multiple times for libel (and won all of the suits). That's only pertaining to the celebrities he dealt with though- I'm not sure about some of the other stuff.
I do know though that he's a writer, and he structured the book in a certain way to make it more dramatic. So he probably stretched the truth in a lot of instances, and probably straight-up lied in some cases. As far as certain quotes though, he was originally posting on asf (the original "seduction" forum), so he made sure to write down most of his experiences right after they happened. That's just how he rolled, since he really was just trying to tell a story about how the "seduction community" works.

Not to blow my own horn and spit my own mucous here, but I think Adam's the best "facial" actor that I've ever seen -- better even than Jim Carrey.
I don't have any questions because I don't need to ask any, but I want you guys to know that you're supremely talented actors, especially compared to other comedies. Looking at some of your early stuff, it's clear that you guys have a good vibe together -- but when you get more people behind it like on Workaholics, it all comes together perfectly. Keep doing what you're doing, and here's hoping that that style of humor becomes the norm.

Exactly -- just do a google search for his name and you'll find people saying that he supports incest, when that was never what he actually said.
Probably more pointedly, this is a guy who was on the board of the National Organization for Women, who has now started to touch on men's issues. That doesn't mean he's the typical reddit r/MRA, it just means he's able to see both sides of the issue. Yet some radical feminists see him as being literally Hitler, despite any past evidence that would negate that opinion.

Same thing would (ideally) work with many other types of machinery, basically. Plowing, asphalt-laying, zamboni-ing (for hockey), race tracks, in-ground pools, or even just general excavation.
I worked for an asphalt company, briefly, as an admin. If we had the right software, a guy like me would be completely unnecessary. Asphalt companies (the big ones, at least) are already pretty precise, even with random drunkards like me doing most of the work. If that shit was all computerized, roads would get fixed in a matter of hours -- not days, or fuckin months. HOURS.
The only real issue IMO is that it requires much less work in the long run, and will lead to more unemployment in those areas. I worked with guys who were engineering majors that cared a hell of a lot about asphalt specifically. Most of our project managers would be jobless if this sort of technology was implemented (some of them would be needed, but not the fuckin 30 they have now).
In general, I hope technology gets to a point where all of these things can function on their own, but I just kinda wonder what would happen to some of these guys I worked with -- they don't know much about drilling or anything besides asphalt, because they've only worked with asphalt. Most of them are already getting unemployment checks during the off-season because... that's just how it goes. Then they get rehired when the new season starts.
I'd like to say they could get jobs as people who work on the software/hardware and/or people who make sure things are running smoothly, but out of all the guys I worked with, I was basically the only person who knew what the fuck an Excel macro even was, let alone how to implement it.

Well... he might be exaggerating a little bit.
