Why one of the most influential thinkers in history should have anachronistically taken the advice of a pill popping grifter who's intellectual contribution has been to make dudes even worse. Peterson has got to be one of the laziest motherfuckers in the public sphere.

Calling Pordan Jeterson an intellectual is an insult to the concept of intellectualism.

Of course someone who tells the lowest common denominator everything they want to hear is going to be popular

"Nazism le good, pollution is cool! If you're not a malignant narcissist like normal people you're a loser!'

It would be like calling McDonald's worthy of a Michelin star because it's popular.

I didn't call him an intellectual.

Oh, don't worry, I would NEVER accuse you of calling him one. But some poor souls do.

My favorite way to do things is anachronisticly

I mean, steampunk and retvrn people are about that. Being anachronistic via the future is harder than the past tho.
