I like(d) Jordan Peterson.

I'm torn. I don't agree with some of his stances on issues (unrelated, not relevant to this post). I like him in the general sense as being someone with strong views some of which can be used retroactively. But recently I was made privy to a video he made where he claims to work 100hrs a week. 14hr days.

Edit: because of all the downvotes – I've not been made aware of too much personal information about JP. I've watched a number of his clapback and debate videos and found them interesting to a point where I enjoyed that side of his content. Given recent revelations, it appears his content needs to be further examined with a fine tooth comb.
