    I've been listening to him quite a lot lately, and he speaks a lot of sense. I'm picking up his 12 rules for life book tomorrow, has anyone read it?

    Not yet but probably get a 2nd hand copy off Amazon.

    He has some fascinating insights. You should check out Steven Pinker if you're not aware of him.

    I found the book really helpful...would highly recommend it.

    I like his interviews with Joe Rogan,Jocko Willink and Russell Brand as well,he always has an interesting take on things.The videos of him giving lectures in his class are great as well.

    Even if you don't agree with some of his views it can't be denied that he's very good at his job as a clinical psychologist.

    The videos if him being confronted and harassed by purple haired feminists and other such weirdos are among the cringiest things I've ever seen.He always handles them in a much classier and respectful way than they deserve.

    The book is great, highly recommend. I have the audiobook that i listened to on my way to and from work. Also enjoy listening to him on youtube, clearly a clever guy.

    Bright guy but is predictably dismissive of the white genocide ‘theory’, so he’s another so-called ‘conservative’.

    He speaks slowly and calmly and with a wide vocabulary, so people are quick to claim he's "rational, reasonable, fair" etc but what he really says and does is target people who have faced nothing but discrimination, I don't think it's a coincidence that all of his targets have been minority groups, and he absolutely refuses to criticise or bite the hand that feeds him (young right wingers), because he can't be messing with that vast amount of online donation money he makes off his followers every month.

    Claims to have found "proof of *" using a "mathematical equation" :56:

    Massive supporter of Israel, as well. Said the Jews are a superior race when it comes to intelligence. He's an absolute *.
