      In one of his old Q&As Jordan Peterson said that his IQ was over 150. Despite this apparent intelligence he spends all his time lying about climate change, trans people and “cultural Marxism”, and posting joker memes and pseudo-haikus on Twitter. That’s when he’s not tweeting milking fetish porn or quoting a Bond villain as if his speech was a historical fact.

      The guy is clearly becoming increasingly insane and unhinged, and due to his immense narcissism and overconfidence he’s become completely incapable of changing his mind or legitimate academic inquiry. Even if he was as smart as he said that didn’t stop him from shoving his head up his own ass and becoming increasingly stupid.

      Intelligence can help, but it’s obviously just one piece of a larger puzzle. What we need is to teach people how to think critically and with empathy so they won’t become like or fall for con-men like Peterson.
