You're welcome. Young men need critical thinking and scepticism, not a faux fuhrer masquerading as a pundit about fields he has no business talking about: politics, history, evolution, investments. I'm sn historian who spent years in archives and interviewing Spanish Civil War veterans, reading thousands of books and journal articles in and outside my specialties. For 30 years I've been an entrepreneur, real estate investor and currency, options and stock trader and an angel investor in 10 startups since 2015. Peterson's gift for glib evidence-free ignorant regurgitations about comparative politics, history, economics and evolution trespass on my intellectual territory, leaving a toxic wasteland of intellectual pollution behind him.

Bigots like Peterson and Carl Jung banish themselves from reasonable discourse with their own words. Anyone who takes them and their superficial, evidence-free, pseudoscientific magical thinking seriously after hearing the bigotry needs jumper cables for their critical thinking faculties. None of them survive the slightest dose of empirical scepticism. If they were stocks, I'd short them all.
