Beta type imo. This guy kinda annoys me, not that type has anything to do with that
(I haven't seen a lot of him though so)
He's annoying to me too.
I don't want to offend any Canadians...BUT...I think it's a Canadian thing.
He reminds me of Ryan Reynolds and Dan Aykroyd they're canadian. They have this sense of humor that I find annoying.
I like Norm Macdonald but he has the same sort of attitude.
I think he LIE though, in this video he is almost relieved that he is having heart surgery because he doesn't have to be bothered by work.
He's is acting like a normal person in these videos.
I'm also confused by him smoking a cigar and getting a coffee when he has heart problems.
He's worried about the period of time he won't be able to exercise and do JJ after his surgery.
The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".
I've been wondering why the American far-right has so many Canadians in it. I do take it that people with these types of beliefs would have a better reception in a country like the United States, which is far less liberal. Canada, OTOH, has become so liberal that even its populist, xenophobic party is one of the most multicultural ever (seriously, an unexpected number of candidates for the "People's Party of Canada" have come from minority immigrant communities).
Bump. SLE or ILE?
I think probably SLE. During the whole Sam Seder debacle, he seemed to act in a way I've seen some unhealthy SLEs do in arguments--i.e., stonewall Sam with Se so that the latter was unable to get a word in, and belabor the same point over and over (more single-track thinking, with no consideration of Ne alternatives). This instinct to shut down his opponents with rhetorical tricks could point to the Alpha Quadral Complex of Closed Mouth as well, but his general focuses seem much more concrete than would be likely be typical for an ILE.
