>who use that as an excuse to attack his intellect and his ideas (which they haven't considered and/or don't understand)
Unlike you, I've actually read his first two books, Maps of Meaning and 12 Rules. I've watched about 20 of his videos. That's more than enough to be able to form an accurate opinion of his intellect and ideas.
I want you to give me your interpretation of this passage from Maps of Meaning:
>I dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool, that was also a river. In real life, she had been a victim of Alzheimer’s disease, and had regressed, before her death, to a semi-conscious state. In the dream, as well, she had lost her capacity for self-control. Her genital region was exposed, dimly; it had the appearance of a thick mat of hair. She was stroking herself, absent-mindedly. She walked over to me, with a handful of pubic hair, compacted into something resembling a large artist’s paint-brush. She pushed this at my face. I raised my arm, several times, to deflect her hand; finally, unwilling to hurt her, or interfere with her any farther, I let her have her way. She stroked my face with the brush, gently, and said, like a child, “isn’t it soft?” I looked at her ruined face and said, “yes, Grandma, it’s soft.”
