Jordan Peterson. It just blew me away to discover he’s hated.
Though I have yet to encounter anyone who hates him who can accurately describe anything he’s ever said.
I didn't know who he was. After just reading his Wikipedia page I really understand why people hate him. I think I might as well.
Par for the course. I’m no longer surprised by this because now I know that people are content to simply read about a thing instead of reading that thing itself.
It think it’s nuts, but it doesn’t surprise me any more.
Your point was not about his stuff but about his person. I read up on them and see it is a terrible, uncompassionate and frankly hateful person. That is not for me.
