I have been saying this for many years for good reason. Look at the replies to this well laid out argument and you can see how uninterested his sycophantic disciples are in contemplating even the idea that he may be wrong.

That is not a rational way to react to criticism of someone they think is some kind of intellectual giant.

The same cherry picking is there with his advocation of religious conservatism and his myopic refusal to consider any evidence that challenges his attraction to mysoginistic bullying and extreme orthodoxy.

He is a hypersensitive bullied child who has made a career pretending to be a tough academic whilst delighting in bullying and encouraging the bullying of others. Look simply at the fact that for years he portrayed anyone using medication for their mental health issues as being weak, when all the time he was popping pills himself and then rather than facing the challenge of withdrawal, (admittedly harder than tidying your room) he underwent the extraordinary process of going to Russia and being comatosed in order to give up.

It also turns out that this intellectual giant, thought listening to his daft daughter and copying her in eating only beef, salt and water was a good idea. No fruit, veg or grains.

As someone who like his daughter has suffered from an arthritic auto immune condition all my life, I am aware how certain foods can exacerbate inflammation, pain, brain fog etc but I also can not ignore the scientific fact that vegetables and fruit, with their vitamins, fibre etc are essential for a healthy life.

The guy is a loon.
