I think a lesson to remember here, especially one that Peterson supporters/fans have been in agreement with throughout this thread, is one thing is never “all you need to know” about someone.
If you let one thing form the basis of everything, you end up narrow-minded and usually wrong.

I probably could have worded that better, but I think the general point still stands.
Pepsi, if you said "a black person is worth 3/5s of a white person", I'd probably disregard almost everything you say from then on. If I took the least charitable interpretation of Dyson's statement, it is close to the rough equivalent.
That doesn't make you more or less wrong on certain subjects, but it does tell me that you're a person I shouldn't be investing my time listening to or taking very seriously. It's the same reason I don't get my news from Stormfront.
