        I was around for a lot of that but was relatively young. Not old enough to really think about it too deep. I don’t remember them talking about that specifically but I do remember the sentiment that knowledge would lead us all to being renaissance people.

        Personally I was just hyped about the cheat codes for sonic 3 and looking at cool dbz concept art for stuff that hadn’t come out over here yet.

            Yeah, what I remember most is people telling me over and over that "there are no good jobs without a degree, if you don't get a degree you will be a failure and live in a ditch for the rest of your short life, take our as many loans as you need to get a degree."

            LoL "lazy young people take out loans pay it back lol!"

            See my trick was to fall down the reactionary rabbit hole long before Peterson was popular. I went from New Atheist to Anti-SJW the good old fashioned way; with angry rantsona YouTubers. It was much easier to figure out they were just losers because they didn’t have the status Peterson has, so I left them pretty quick. Then I found the primordial soup of what would eventually become Breadtube, and here we are today.
