🚩 Nerd Alert
Wallace reported 11 gourmet eating-ops per day.
"Since finally finding out about it Monday, I've ended up availing myself of cabin service every night-more like twice a night, to be honest-even though I find it extremely embarrassing to be calling up x72 asking to have even more rich food brought to me when there have already been eleven gourmet eating-ops that day." (p.45)

Does it bring a smile to your face imagining Peterson read Wallace not wanting to like it, but liking it?
I give his Seinfeld cosplay an 8/10.
I wonder if JP’s favorite DFW book is Consider the Lobster.
It is interesting to see him happy.
What episode of seinfeld is this??
1:42
Young Peterson such a trip
If he's not crying, I'm not listening.
Holy.... this is extremely trippy... young JP.... Travel Writer....
He was subjected to the same physical aging process as Jose Mourinho.
Thank you for posting this ! A real treat
Has Peterson ever talked more about DFW?
I’ve listened to a lot of Peterson’s commentary on psychology and politics, but I had never quite understood why he said things like “the unbearable present”. It now makes complete sense, and it’s closely related to the idea of the hedonic treadmill. I might have to read maps of meaning soon 🤔
virgin JP vs Chad DFW
Calling David Foster Wallace a travel writer makes sense when you ripped off his project and then missed the entire point of his essay is just too good
wtf lol first time seeing him young
Peterson is not a fan of postmodernism. DFW often times gets labeled as one even though he didn't seem to not be a fan of it himself.
Peterson in 1996: Can you believe this guy is so entitled?
He is so likeable here
Back when he was saying interesting things, and looking cheerful instead of pissed-off.
