An important lesson to actually listen to people not just look at their caricatures.
I hadn't heard of Cruz except the picture painted by NPR... another idiot republican. Then I heard him speak for half an hour to a farmer after an event with C-SPAN still on until the room cleared, explaining that he wanted the guy's vote but he wouldn't support ethanol subsidies since they are retarded -- meticulously laying out all the reasons why directly one on one to this guy who didn't want to hear that. After that when I heard him slighted in the media it didn't lower my opinion of him, it lowered my opinion of that media.
Same thing with Bannon, that guy's like a modern founding father but you wouldn't know it if you didn't watch some of his long-form speeches and appearances.
And he'll give that 2 hour lecture to an audience who were required to show proof of vaccination to step foot in the door, and give the excuse of "well that's the law, and we can't change it"
Far cry from "if they fine me for using the 'wrong' pronoun I won't pay it, and if they arrest me for not paying the fine I'll go on a hunger strike" 2017-era Peterson.
It's strange: some people get "fuck you" money and actually use it to say "fuck you". Bill Watterson, J.K Rowling, and Notch come to mind. Others (probably most) don't. Not sure if it's a temperament thing, whether you're primarily known through your work versus your persona, or what it is.
I think twitter just makes you retarded.
If you listen to him lecture for 2 hours, what he's saying makes tons of sense.
If you follow him on twitter he sounds like Ted Cruz.

The 2017 version of Peterson hadn't made bank yet.
Ironically, somehow making "fuck you" money has made him even less able/willing to speak truth to power.
