I have a nephew who is really pushing his own landscaping/plowing services, working his ass off and making bank.

I was riding with him the other day and instead of music he's listening to self-improvement stuff. He's recently sober and taking life seriously.

So I started chatting with him and he said it's Jordan Peterson.

I warned him that while Peterson has a lot of good points, he will get political in weird ways. All I can do is help him open his eyes a little and be aware of what he's consuming.

He's always been right-leaning but when my wife and I break down a topic we disagree about, he really tends to get it.

Pronouns, for example. A couple years back we told him it's just basic respect to refer to someone how they want to be referred to. Whether you agree or not with their how they deal with their underlying issues, it's their issue that they have to live with 24/7.

And we saw a little light go on behind his eyes. It was a nice moment.
