Whatever the fuck they did with Jordan Peterson, they created a goddamn monster. Oh yeah. You guys fucked up. You guys created a multi-millionaire who's worldwide famous and is a huge best seller. He was just talking to Swedish politicians on TV the other day, so watch out. They fucked up with him. Boy, did they fuck up. And Dave was just texting me, a friend of Ruben, was just texting me pictures that are all full. It's crazy. And the energy in that place is crazy. He's selling out 5,000-seat theaters. He's a rock star. He's a fucking rock star. He's an intellectual rock star. It's hilarious. Good for him. Yeah. I mean, look, a lot of other guys are doing it too. Sam Harris is doing that now as well. Yeah. They're doing these gigantic huge speeches. It's like, good for him. Well, absolutely good for him. But what I'm excited about is how many people are interested in the debate of ideas and that this is not happening on the college campuses. That's right. And the people that have graduated from college or are in the working world, they're very fascinated by this. It's real. It's what you were saying. It's been suppressed for long enough. Now, Jordan Peterson, what was his thing? He's like, you're not going to tell me the words I can use. Right? When there's 78 different words for genders, I can safely say you're fucking crazy. It's like this desperation to try to find a unique identity that you can consider to be super special or whatever. It's totally... You want to see even crazier as you go into these blogs. I think they're mostly on Tumblr or something. It violates my rule. Never use Tumblr. Where they talk about the different sexuality identities. Different kinds of... I'm interested in this kind of person, but not this kind of person under these circumstances, but not under those that has some 18-syllable academic word for it now. And there's people whose whole... I don't think they're academics. I think they're activists and geeks on Tumblr. But they come up with these crazy descriptions. And there's like hundreds of sexual orientations. Yeah, it's just people wanting to be different. They want to be special and they're not good at anything.
