Something I've been thinking about a bit lately is the ability to communicate your message well. I'm not the best at it but it's not difficult to spot those who really are. Their number sure as fuck doesn't include Jordan Peterson. Or most any intellectual, especially with an academia background, for that matter.
You know who the best are? Really good standup comedians. They have to be. If you need to explain a joke, it's no longer funny. If you're consistently not funny, you have to get a dreaded day job.
If you want to take up public speaking in any sort of persuasive capacity, you could do a lot worse than to learn from them.

You're very bad at empathy. I enjoy the complete hell out of my life. I'm likely the most content person you'll ever converse with.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Then YOU are very bad at communicating. It seems that you are apathetic and somewhat pissed off most of the time. You should probably tell more jokes.
