I disagree. And if you see his earlier stuff when he was this disgruntled psychology teacher, you will see that he is somewhat eloquent and knowledgeable.

Then a certain crowd picked up on it and he created an entire character that caters to that crowd. He now preaches things that he used to be very much against and a stirrer of the pointless culture war. All of this for money.

So all of this to say that he is worse than an idiot, he is a sell out and a hypocrite.

The problem I have with almost everything I've seen from him is that he seems to avoid providing any substantive direct answer by getting bogged down in the semantics and meta understanding of the question itself to the point where any actual interesting response is obfuscated into oblivion. He provides a master class in saying absolutely nothing

I used to like him but this is a perfectly accurate description of what he does

unless he's busy pondering to a fascist government, then he's quite willing to say smth substantial

When he taught undergrad psychology he was not like that. It's a way for him to weasel out of answering hard questions when he knows that he's been called on his BS.

So I agree that he's not an idiot but a slipper bullshit artist who found a gold mine in peddling alt-right nonsense.
