      You might want to read more than the very first sentence considering the rest (including the headline) says he’s wrong about everything.

      He’s a famous public intellectual because that’s what his fans, and he has way too many, consider him.

        So then you refer to Trump as the true current President because that’s what his fans, and he has way too many, consider him?

          Dude. Just read the article. You’re hung up on a single sentence. The entire rest of the article talks about why everything Peterson says is wrong.

          Well he isn’t a nurse. He isn’t a construction worker. He isn’t a broadcaster. He isn’t a mailman. What the hell do you want to label the guy? Go get a job in journalism and then you can play word police.

          It’s a profession, like calling Trump a businessman even though he only goes bankrupt
