    Gabor Maté seemed to be spewing even more “human nature” excuses for anything and everything bad that people can possibly do.

    Maté’s hypothesis feels a lot like the quacky libertarianish mass formation psychosis some far-right grifters were talking about during covid.

    In general I’ve learned to steer clear of Gabor Maté. He has a lot of really strange ideas about the world.
