Hang on, this guy is an extremely smart man. I have felt like punching his head in a few times, but I have also found a few real gems.
One thing he said was this - that you should listen to people with an expectation that they might know something that you don't, especially those you disagree with as they may be able to shine a light in your blind spot.
Give the book a read, you're smart enough to not get sucked into ideologies you disagree with and you might learn something you didn't know.
Incidently, I feel exactly the same way about Ben Shapiro.
My guess is that anything "smart" that comes out of his mouth is an idea he has stolen from somebody else.
When you see him have a conversation with someone who actually is smart, he quickly shows himself to be a complete moron.
Or maybe I just have high standards
