I’m finding ave harder to watch as time goes by. He’s got some conspiracy stuff going on and while he’s clearly intelligent & educated I wonder if he all that much smarter than most of us or if he’s just bluffing sometimes. He’d be fun to be friends with and hang out with for sure but I think a lot of people consider him some sort of know everything genius. He seems to play up to his audience more and more.
I learned a good deal from his earlier work, but you're not wrong about what he's up to these days. He's always been a drunk uncle, but there's a good side and a bad side to those, and since early in the pandemic he hasn't been spending all that much time on the good side.
