      You might want to read more than the very first sentence considering the rest (including the headline) says he’s wrong about everything.

      He’s a famous public intellectual because that’s what his fans, and he has way too many, consider him.

        So then you refer to Trump as the true current President because that’s what his fans, and he has way too many, consider him?

          Dude. Just read the article. You’re hung up on a single sentence. The entire rest of the article talks about why everything Peterson says is wrong.

          Well he isn’t a nurse. He isn’t a construction worker. He isn’t a broadcaster. He isn’t a mailman. What the hell do you want to label the guy? Go get a job in journalism and then you can play word police.

            Public figure. Not an intellectual.

          It’s a profession, like calling Trump a businessman even though he only goes bankrupt

          or that American who wrote the Earth was flat

        Accusations of being an imposter, you see, are as ancient as the human capacity for language itself. They stem from a deep-seated psychological predisposition to categorize the world into the known and the unknown, the self and the other. But consider this: every individual, in their quest for competence and mastery, stands on the boundary between order and chaos, tradition and transformation. It is in this liminal space that one is most vulnerable to such accusations, for it is here that one is both most authentic and most susceptible to misunderstanding. To label someone an imposter is to ignore the complex, often painful process of growth and self-discovery. It is, in essence, to demand that they remain forever in the domain of the known, never daring to explore the unknown seas of potential that lie within us all. So, if being called an imposter means that I am venturing into the unknown in pursuit of higher truth and deeper understanding, then I accept that label with pride. After all, it is those who never face such accusations who must worry, for they have likely never dared to step beyond the familiar shores of their current selves.

              When we consider the humble cucumber, we must recognize its potential for transformation. Fresh cucumbers, while refreshing and crisp, are limited in their capacity to engage our senses and provide depth to our culinary experiences. In contrast, pickled cucumbers—those vibrant, tangy delights—embody a profound metamorphosis. The process of pickling not only enhances their flavor but also preserves them, allowing us to enjoy their essence long after the harvest. This transformation mirrors the journey of individuals who face adversity and emerge stronger, more complex, and ultimately more valuable.

              Moreover, the act of pickling cucumbers is a testament to human ingenuity and the desire to transcend the ordinary. It is a ritual steeped in tradition, connecting us to our ancestors who understood the importance of preservation and flavor enhancement. The spices and vinegar used in the pickling process create a symphony of tastes that awaken our palates and stimulate our minds. This complexity is akin to the richness of human experience, where the interplay of challenges and triumphs leads to a more nuanced understanding of life. Just as we savor the layers of flavor in a pickled cucumber, we must also appreciate the layers of meaning in our own lives.

              Finally, we must consider the nutritional benefits that pickled cucumbers offer. The fermentation process not only enhances their flavor but also introduces beneficial probiotics that support gut health. In a world increasingly aware of the importance of nutrition and well-being, pickled cucumbers stand out as a symbol of mindful eating. They remind us that we can elevate the mundane to the extraordinary through intentional choices. In this way, pickled cucumbers are not merely a food item; they represent a philosophy of embracing transformation, complexity, and health—principles that resonate deeply with the human experience.

    I find it galling that a psychologist is up in arms about crackpot theories coming from soft sciences that do societal harm.

    Maybe get your own house in order before you tell everyone else how to run their affairs, eh?
