@benisjamin6583 YouTube followers? And it's spelled "ad hominen" -- but pointing out hypocrisy is not ad hominem. His recent health issues are just another example of being incapable of walking the walk, and of being a human being who displays himself as being wise but is no wiser than anyone else. My personal life remains personal, and I'm not going to risk compromising my privacy to prove something to some stranger, but yes, I have done far better than Peterson -- with refugee parents. Of course I have three degrees. How about you?
If he's a hero for you, ask yourself why you need him to be your hero. Not only have I listened to him, but I've read all the major works he recommends on his website. A combination of Nietzsche and Jung gets recycled pretty regularly, and is known to appeal to the youth, especially young men. (Did you know that? Well.) Peterson needed the money, for real (his family has long-standing health issues, sheer bad luck, not self-generated), and he found a way to monetize it again. I'm surprised. I also read a few chapters of his book, the ones that looked most promising, and felt sorry for him. Worse than I thought, much worse. At least he speaks to people most of the insipid chattering classes ignore. I'm not sure that most of what he tells them is so good, however. Very few gurus ever have anything good to say; pick your flavor of self-serving, because that is what they are.
"YouTube followers!!!" The new desert of the unreal.

@tessa63627 I didn't see this until now. First, there is no data whatsoever on the AGE at which surgery was performed on the people in this meta analysis. Second, here is a line from the study: "Overall, follow-up time from surgery to the time of regret assessment ranged from 0.8 to 9 years." Say WHAT? How can you even mix such disparate time frames, much less generalize over a reproductive lifespan? Even nine years is not a long time, and does not respond to my point. Third, a 1% regret rate is equal to 1000 per 100,000 cases. Were this a side effect of a life-altering, irreversible drug or other treatment, it would require warnings. Fourth, I saw no mention of puberty blockers, perhaps because young teens were not in the samples? You go and read it and show me if that treatment is included. No one is trying to curtail adults in pursuing their happiness.
