I used to like him because I thought he seemed genuine, had interesting ideas, and was very open about his own struggles.

But as time went on I started to realize that he had a very rigid worldview and all of his talking points and meanderings were just like watching mental gymnastics. He would take many different puzzle pieces and force them to fit together whether they actually did or not, and then turn his rage on anyone who didn't see things the way that he saw them.

He has a very high opinion of himself and his capabilities, to the point where it's almost impossible to get through to him and get him to consider a different point of view. Getting older, I realize that pseudo-intellectualism is probably some kind a defense mechanism or coping strategy for him. It's not uncommon for people to use rationalizations to protect their own ego.

@TinyViolins he is OBSESSED with "smart" and that is suspicious 2 me tbh
He’s not someone I really think about. He’s against much of what I value, and has occasionally indicated a certain amount of bigotry.

He takes himself way too seriously and after I saw him throwing a tantrum over some transgender theme I barely can take him seriously at all. Just another conservative who thinks it's bad to be emotional over things that personally doesn't affect him but it's totally justified if it hits the string in him.

I enjoy listening to his Podcasts and posts.

Dont agree with everything but people need to quit always being a victim and relize they did it to them selves and take some personal responsibility

Wasn't he that guy who played basketball?
He does not make me proud to be Canadian.

Whew, je ne sais pas et j'imagine que c'est evident. 😬

Is he the creationist or the anti-creationist?

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout i was dissapointed by his 12 rules. the 13th one might as well have been "dont eat too much pizza if you dont wanna be fat"
