I love taiibi's substack! As to that comment, WOW. There's this weird internet hate for guy's like weinstein or jordan peterson when, even if you happen to disagree with them they're incredibly tame about what they say.


I read some blog about why this happens. There's no tribal value in showing you hate someone who's obviously bad because everyone hates them no matter what side they're on. You have to show you hate someone who's good enough for reasonable people to like them. Then your expression of hate reinforces your position as being deep within your side and far from the middle ground which is dangerously close to the enemy.


Maybe there's just an endorphin rush from being outrageous.
