Because he's selling a self-help book.that alone qualifies it as drivel
He is not only doing that, but he is acting like he is some hero for free speech only to target his pseudo-intellectual shit at college aged idiots.
Considering the level of nihilism amongst young to middle aged people in the u.s i don't see the problem with his book. Unless he was selling you on "do this you'll make millions"....
Nothing he says is pseudo-intellectual either, like where is the pseudo part if he's a clinical psychologist with thousands of citations and publications to his name? What specifically does he say that is pseudo?
More likely this is a term you use to discredit a guy you don't care about. It's like Ree claiming someone is a nazi. Same shit.
