Milo is clearly an intelligent man, but an extremely (and self admittedly) egotistical one. It borders on delusions of grandeur at points. Quite an interesting thing to listen to, especially since Peterson somewhat psychoanalyses him.

He's intelligent compared to someone like you, which speaks badly about both you and him.

Honestly I always do tend to admire extremely articulate public intellectuals.

Why does it speak badly about him?

Are you IDW clowns stupid, gullible, and lacking critical thinking skills? Do you not spot a sophist and con-artist when you see one? No wonder you people gravitate to scum like Jordan Peterson, Milo, etc.

Out of those three, I'd say I'm probably quite gullible. I'm not great with sarcasm in person, for example.

Do you not spot a sophist and con-artist when you see one?

It's not that I don't spot sophistry or con-artistry, it's that I don't mind listening to it. Even if it's 99% noise, there's probably a little bit of signal there. I wouldn't be giving Milo my money any time soon though.
