I sometimes do not understand the hate that people have towards JP.

I like JP’s social views on relationships, habits, parenting, men & women, etc. and he’s one of the most renowned psychologists in the world. Why so much hate? Genuine question.

Thanks

    I use it because it blows my mind how little people care about finding out stuff when all they do is obsess over stuff they know nothing about. You're on the internet. Even spending time on Wikipedia to get the most baseline background is okay. But it's like people forget they're online and they refuse to look into anything.

    It goes back to a certain liberal brainness where intellectualism is an identity, not a pursuit. You're intellectual by association with an unofficial brand of media. So you just repeat stuff and never look anything up or find out more about stuff. You hang on "official" reports and news brands as the absolute truth. You also never ask certain questions about society.

    I'm assuming the chuds are using it because people keep pointing out how they are not curious people. They're just throwing it back out to get ahead during the internet argument in their head. The one they're constantly having with everyone.

    Someone above pointed out exactly what I'm talking about. They accuse others of not being curious yet they refuse to wonder how JP could be seen as bad. They just take what he says at face value because he's an intellectual and must know what he's talking about. But if you go look up his claims about history and stuff, it's wrong. They don't get that far because they're not curious to enough to know if he's right.
