I did. I'll elaborate, if you'd like.
The only way Jordan Peterson's "brainiac" advice could be groundbreaking to people is if they've read almost nothing, ever. Same goes for his IDW sidekicks. Their popularity reveals that an entire generation has been so robbed of anything to do with the humanities that JP's balderdash becomes groundbreaking.
I'd say it's the opposite: younger generations have been forced to listen to "pleasant lies" from society from their entire lives. The people who speak pleasant lies, through sheer repetition, have come to believe their own falsehoods and actively persecute those who dare go against them. Someone speaking frankly is a breath of fresh air, and drove the far left into absolute hysterics against Peterson.
