Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Russell Brand with Jordan Peterson

Peterson is back, it seems, but this is sort-of strange.

What could it be but strange? They're both a couple of weirdos.

Yes, Brand is a weirdo in the traditional sense while Peterson is a nuevo-weirdo in that he makes sense.

The first two minutes was all about how we should really subscribe to his podcast. Could find no reason to listen any longer.

Ha. My exact reaction.

He claims his problems were from sleep apnea. Nonsense Obstructive sleep apnea doesn’t cause the panoply of disruption s he alludes to.

I have a good deal of respect for Peterson, if for no other reason than because he was one of the very few educators that was brave enough to stand up to the PC mob, who were demanding to compel his speech for gender pronouns.

I read he was in a medically-induced coma to pull him out of whatever problem he was having with prescription drugs. It seems pretty obvious he's still emotionally shredded. I hope he continues to get better and recovers his health. He has done much for many young people, in a time where young people are considered easy prey by a good portion of our society.

I thought it was agreed a long time ago that Russell Brand has major mental problems.

JHC two really weird people. Thanks for wasting my time.

I'll just add to the pile. This is not a matchcmakers dream. And I haven't even watched it.
