In the early days I checked out a couple of his lectures too because I knew he was problematic but couldn't articulate why. What i realized when trying to decipher these lectures is just how much time he spends approaching making a point but literally never gets there.

This man operates on plausible deniability. He litters in truisms that dumb people latch onto (like that cleaning your room will make you feel better -- no shit everyone knows that) and then goes into these half-baked diatribes like how women are agents of chaos, but never fully explains why, and then moves onto a new point, and everyone acts like he's a genius because they draw their own conclusions based on those half-baked points.

Then when his fans start saying horrible shit to women, he takes no responsibility, because he never explicitly concluded on his point, leaving him with plausible deniability.

The man is a pseudointellectual at best, and is absolutely a charlatan.

You've described like 70% of conservative media right here.
