Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

I didn't believe him, I believed the positive messages he send and implanted. I don't care about him nowadays, but I also don't regret internalizing certain stuff he preached. It wasn't totally bullshit of what he said, until a point where he completely drifted off.

Thankfully I stopped watching any of his stuff quite a while before that happened, so I dodged this whole mess and only saw the burning ship wrack from the distance. I understand the hard feelings of others who are more involved in this topic though.

To agree, that something someone said, was correct, isn't a bad thing. Even if the stuff that follows is off the mark.

To regret that, would also mean regretting failure, but without failure there's no progress.
