This is true, in so far as his criticism of Bill C-16 is concerned. But even if he never talked about anything but psychology and "the life well lived" - which are areas that are pretty clearly within his realm of expertise - his schtick would still be highly problematic, because he's creating a highly motivated, highly ideological moral community out of young people who are disaffected and desperate for meaning. Those are arguably the most dangerous kind of people to have as the core of such a movement.
