I didn't know who these people were before reading that thread, but I'm amazed people actually live lives like that, what an amazingly bat crap existence.

Their lives were crazy on their own in that thread but the fact that they the dad was also like leading a weird self help movement that was centered on degrading women and cleaning your room makes it even crazier

I had kind of heard second hand snippets, but that is insane.

Yeah Peterson has a lot of good things to say but he's also says a bunch of weirdo stuff and does weirdo things and isn't exactly someone anyone should try to imitate. 

If you can filter out the batshit stuff, what's left is great.

Do as I say (well, the good stuff at least), not as I do is a real thing imo.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I think there are probably a lot of people that do and say good stuff worth listening to that also do or say bad stuff that isn't worth listening to.  I don't think the bad stuff wholly invalidates the value of the good stuff.

i do think abandoning your day job as a professor, moving to eastern europe, nearly killing yourself and being a strung out drug addict takes the luster off of one's career as a self-help guru.

I would say it absolutely does make them not worth listening to for the role they’re trying to play. Being able to filter out “the good stuff” from BS or bat crap crazy stuff would suggest someone who is not particularly in need of self help.

I certainly wouldn’t employ a dietician who every once in a while recommends I eat something poisonous, even if there are some really fantastic meals mixed in.

I thought he was supposed to be smart? Is he just playing to Trump's idiot base?

He's right to be mad. They should have cancelled his book deal for lying about the protesters at his house. He's pretty clearly a liability to someone attempting to publish a non fiction book.

He’s plenty smart, he is just incredibly ambitious and cynical. He is the pub version of Buttigieg.
