The Reimers were uneducated blue collar workers, just like my parents were at that time. Good hard working people but I had more education when I was in grade 8 than what either one of my parents would EVER have. They depended on the abilities and knowledge of doctors because they had no access to information like we would today. Even reading was a problem for them.
Now, YOU sit in judgement of people, who lived in a time, where learning these things were near impossible unless you went into post secondary education. That's NOT guilt.
That's the reality of life before the eighties for most adults. If you had asked my parents to define the term "critical thinking" back in 1965, they would have given you a blank look and shrugged their shoulders. It just wasn't something that the average person would know in those times. It would be like asking a Viking to define "airplane". It was way beyond them.
That doctor took advantage of naive, uneducated and desperate parents, with little to no recourse but to go to someone that had the credentials to help them. Unfortunately, the man, who was being touted as a genius in academic circles and on TV, was no better than Dr. Mengele.
The blame rests ENTIRELY on the shoulders of Dr. Money, no one else. He was an ideologue, eschewing scientific processes to find fame and glory. Someday, he will be remembered as a Mengele clone.

Do you really think that every thought in your head is your own? Everything that you know is the result of others teaching you. You were taught to speak, to read, to do math, everything you know is the result of ideas and facts that you've been exposed to.
Peterson talks about more than just psychology. He's putting out ideas for you to think about. Using your own mind to judge the things around you, to understand what others say, their motives, what "quotes" mean and how they might apply to you.
You don't become a better person or accomplished by regressing into your own head and considering nothing outside of it. You look at the world and what's in it, interact with it, think about it and try to understand the wisdom or foolishness of it.
I'm not that egotistical to think that I'm the ONLY one that has a thought worth relaying to others. If I did, why would I even talk to anyone. Whatever they say would be stupid by my standards. It takes one narcissistic person to believe that they're the only person that has anything of worth to say. The world doesn't revolve around me. If someone has something of value to say, I appreciate it. I'm NOT the only "wise" person alive and I rather doubt that you're not that "wise" person either.
"Try thinking for yourself". The justification that a person that can't think beyond his only little thoughts would say. My God....what an ego to think that "yourself" is the ultimate.

Right now, I'm sitting in the sunshine, enjoying the fruits of what I did over my life.
Wisdom isn't about never making mistakes, either. Peterson has made them in the past and he's talked about them. Wisdom is gathering all the knowledge that you can, assessing them and then knowing that mistakes are not the only thing that defines you. If that were so, we'd all give up after we'd made the first poor error in judgement in our life. Apparently, we're all not as lucky as you are. Never EVER made an error in judgement in your life.
I'd hate to be one of your kids. Make one life mistake and you're forever saddled with the "loser" label.
Peterson is recovering from his problem. He's made enough money in his life that he could do whatever he wants. He's one of the most successful people, not only in his field, but on the planet, known and admired by millions. Who are you beside that? Some internet hack calling people names. No one has ever heard of you and when you're gone, there goes your influence on the world. You're a nobody, a talking nothing on the internet. No one even knows your name. You didn't even have the courage to identify yourself.
