This is the only right answer, besides Sam Harris, though he is close.
Dr. Peterson has taught me so much about life my only regret is that I won't ever be able to repay him even a fraction of the pleasure he's given me. I mean, guys, taking Jungs archetype idea and applying it to morality: absolute genius! Unlike Sam Harris who shamelessly derives oughts from is's like he was paid to do so, Dr. Peterson uses quasi-is's, which aren't actually is's--genius!, to prove morality exists! And, not only does he do that, but he also preserves and respects our Christian heritage! So instead of having to tear down every institution and idea like Nietzsche so foolishly proposed--like a fool--we can just keep our whole society perfectly intact and move on without any major changes because we are all so fulfilled already, or at least we can be, if we see the world as he offers, oh so humbly. Look at Dr. Peterson, he is always smiling and laughing and conjouling, a man like that with such profound ideas would never need anti-depressants, he understands reality, knows how to be happy, and because he's so good at it, he is here to teach us how to do the same for ourselves! Yipee! Like Kanye said, if the Bible was written now, don't you think I'd be init, well, I don't know about Ye, but Dr. Peterson would surely by the protagonist.

And, don't even get me started on Ben Shapiro, his wit and intelligence is only surpassed by our beloved himself. If I could just sit in a room with them together I'd offerror my girlfriend as tribute, of course Dr. Peterson and Ben would decline my offer, but I'm sure they have some friends who could treat her right

Game theory since I talk a lot about it in dicksword with a bunch of nerds. Money laundering because I've been watching a lot of mafia movies recently and was reading up on mobsters.

You claim to reject societal norms but all you are really doing is looking for justification to sit on your ass and do nothing, while people conceive you as the weird guy

they just called every one a retard they didn't guess anything about them. Anyway it isn't the content of their judgements but the form that is obnoxious. other people did the guessing if you read the thread. producing glib replies for every one is gay as aids. much better to write a sentence to really rib the shit out of them, as you have done. Good job.

You studied philosophy/logic at an American university, judging by the Quine. Good taste btw, that's my favorite analytic.

What's up with the other two?
