Two, one. Boom. Welcome back, Mr. Peterson.

Thank you.

How are you?

Not too bad.

How are you doing?

Doing good, man.

You look like a man who is dealing with a considerable amount of stress but is handling it well.

Yeah, well I hope that's true. I think the first part of it's true. I hope the second part is true.

I read that you were denied a grant for the first time in in your history as an academic?

Yes.

And you think this is all based on your outspoken and very public denouncing of the political correctness and of all this stuff

that you've been going through over the past more than a year now?

I don't know because I haven't got the full commentary on the grant yet.

I only found out that it was denied and it takes the granting agency a while to send out the

full report.

I've heard from other people, I know some other people who I would consider

relatively high profile researchers who also didn't get funded this round, so there might be multiple

reasons, but i can't help

suspect that the fact that the grant

application concentrated on delineating the personality characteristics of

politically correct belief might have had something to do with it.

So still a taboo subject, it's fascinating that thinking and thinking and pondering and examining certain types of behavior would still be a taboo subject.
