@iteration523 @rodhilton Pretty much, except I feel pretty comfortable assuming that Jordan Peterson is fully possessed of the capacity to know that he’s grifting, and Trump seems to take pride in it. I don’t know if this is an accurate read on it or a product of my own assumptions, but Elon Musk very much struck me as a victim of it at first, though he has absolutely become a perpetrator regardless of whether that’s true.
@iteration523 @rodhilton None of these guys are supervillains any more than they’re superheroes. That’s giving them way too much credit. They’re just people.
