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.

Frankfort, Kentucky, makes it against the law to shoot off a policeman's tie.

Well, communication isn't just about talking coherently. It's also about the other party listening. If you already decided a priori that TMB is "full of it", then you aren't the intended audience.

Can't hear you, khallow! You are spouting bullshit, again, and I cannot hear that. Do you expect it to make sense to your recipients? That's cruel, bro! Try some empathy. Good for our debilitated Buzzard, good for you. Now, what were you saying, again? Backhoes?

Indeed.
