Myocarditis and jabbing children. That’s all he’s got? Wake me up when he interviews his fellow countryman Denis Rancourt, the author of the “17 million killed” worldwide study. Or when he says sorry for joining the pile on to shame refuseniks and promote “just get the bloody jab” forced injections on the people he says didn’t need it. Or when he renounces his spinelessness for folding like a broken deck chair in the face of blatant emergent totalitarianism at the same time as having written the preface to an abridged reprint of the anti-totalitarianism magnum opus, Gulag Archipelago.
This man is about as duplicitous, hypocritical, shallow, corrupt and dark triad as it is possible to be, in my opinion. He’s a typical head doctor - more fucked up than the patients. However, he did bolster my critical thinking. I spent years as a paid up fan boy consuming his output, buying his books, seeing him live, hanging on almost every word. When he revealed his true colours over time, and I realised I had to reconsider my deferential position, it reassured me of my own discernment and ability to change my views as the facts on the ground changed.
I gave 3 examples. However, my conclusions about this man are not just specific to a few examples of conduct or character. Rather, a distillation of years of observing and challenging my views via awareness and skepticism, while following his trajectory. Why do our opinions of anyone change or stay the same? Partly them, partly us, partly the world at large. I now believe this is a seductive, manipulative and deeply compromised individual who put the dark in Intellectual Dark Web.
Hero worship should be kept in check. It is healthy to actively seek out critiques of those to whom we temporarily give our trust, hope, faith, intellect or money .Try it. Check out some of his detractors. I hear Vox Day’s Jordanetics or the documentary Jordan Peterson Dismantled are good starting points. I haven’t read or watched these yet, I have mostly come to my views by watching the man himself.

Whoa! Can you provide specific examples of his hypocrisy? And being duplicitous, shallow, etc? You sound angry. I’d like to hear why.

The Buddhists teach that on the road to Enlightenment, you will eventually meet your teacher, and that you must kill him.
The meaning of this, for me, is that you must take that which he taught, and then supercede him.
Sounds like you are on a good path, fren. Please proceed.
