Jordan

I don't want to make fun of Jordan Peterson but he seems to invite it. There he was in front of fellow conservative Piers Morgan crying yet again over something which didn't seem to warrant it. You could see Morgan squirm as he waited out the episode. 

Peterson first gained fame by refusing to be told what pronouns to use and testified so before the committee on Canada's bill C-16. Not long after, he became the darling of the right who desperately needed gravitas in the form of their own intelligentsia. Never mind that Peterson wasn't well-versed in all topics. He just needed to sound the part. 

He is almost always angry at something and rails against postmodernism and "wokeness" which eventually got the attention of his licensing board. They were going to remove his psychology credentials if he did not take a media sensitivity course. His wild and often derisive posting on the platform (now called X) becoming worrisome particularly as it was deemed unbecoming for a mental heath professional who seems to be in need of a fair bit of counseling himself. 

Part of me understands Jordan Peterson because being the same age our blinders have been removed and the illusions of life are now gone. We can be tempted to fall into cynicism which colors our world view. 

But while I am a bit disappointed I am not angry; or at least not nearly as much. 

After becoming a model for young men to clean up their act by making their beds as well as performing other discipline-inducing tasks, he became almost a comic book villain. He would appear on podcasts with gaudy and flashy clothing which seemed to advertise the fact that he was impervious to what anyone thought of him. 

As the Daily Wire is befallen with financial woes his time may be up as I see much commentary that people are very wise to his shtick. 

You cannot pretend to be a master of all subjects while simultaneously spitting venom at the detractors who have figured you out.
