The way I interpreted it (but I never bothered listening to every single one of their accounts), is that JBP knew he had a weakness (mental instability), but trusted the system too much when it came to pharma (just like he did with the vaccines). If a psychiatrist prescribed them it was ok. And only THEN, did he realize the damage they could cause. IOW, he never bothered to research them much, and maybe he identified with being "sensitive", and needing drugs. I don't know, but like you said, the story doesn't always add up.
It was a long time ago when I listened to his account, but I believe he was prescribed it for some sort of anxiety and/or stress. And because it was a psychiatrist he just assumed all was good.
He demonstrated the same pattern (not doing the research/following the authority/getting the jab so he could 'just get back to normal life') when it came to COVID, and that probably damaged him too.
This certainly seems to be a pattern with him. He had plenty of time to read ponerology (given how many people gave him a copy). He had plenty of time to take the diet/health aspect seriously. i.e. not trusting 'authority' and doing his own research (like Mikhaila did to begin with).
That seems to have become hardened tribalism rather than questioning. Specifically questioning himself (or at least identifying his own blind spots) and some base assumptions about the world.
Around a week before his podcast with Peterson, Robinson was arrested by Canadian police for 'immigration offenses', a development which naturally buttresses his image as a 'man the establishment hates'. But the backstory to this incident - at least as told by someone who was part of Robinson's entourage until she 'blew the whistle' - reveals a completely different picture.
Well that explains it. I watched a clip of Petersons Robinson interview, and Robinson was literally all over the place and almost bouncing in his seat. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was on cocaine at the time. He did at least have that vibe of 'itching for a fight'.
What a shit show. Taking Petersons hard tribal stance above, he'll fend off any criticism for this interview as 'psychopathic rats', yet he has shared many actual psychopathic rats on his platform at this point.
I know he is 'supported' by the DailyWire now, and I wonder if he has handlers who drops hints at who he should interview next. Nice way to run him off the rails.
On the point of disintegration, perhaps it's a stretch but I have noticed that things in the world/people disintegrating seem to be following at least parallel tracks - if they aren't directly connected. i.e. the more the war in Ukraine is lost, the more certain people who support it are falling apart. The more the slaughter in Israel is backfiring/the truth is coming out, the more certain people who buy that lie (Israel good/Palestinians bad) are starting to loose it.
Maybe it's more obvious with prominent public figures, and it's possible I'm seeing a pattern where none exists.
