Thanks Amy,
Sister was in Hollywood too. Got caught up in a well known cult.
We thought it was the wine but it was bulimia. Really hurt her teeth. She’d also starve herself before an audition.
As to Jordan Peterson. His daughter had crippling rheumatoid arthritis and was frantic to cure her associative depression. They eventually found refuge in a near all meat diet…who’d a thought.
Worry about his daughter…his new found ‘fame’ and finding himself the subject of multiple ‘death threats’, he took to doctor prescribed benzodiazepine to deal with the anxiety and sleep issues.
To try and withdraw, he was in a medically induced coma for 8 days: “Peterson’s work was obstructed by health problems in the aftermath of severe benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome.”
His major academic work was on studying totalitarian fascism and communism as found during Hitler’s, Stalin’s and Mao’s murderous reigns of terror. In particular he was interested in the use of language to control thought.
Hence his academic concern over a government (Canadian) claiming that the mis-use/non-use of gender pronouns was a hate crime: Bill C-16 and Bill 36, both now law.
He found all of that frighteningly virtue signalling authoritarian and ergo by fighting it, his vilification began.
