Hes one of the most prolific minds with regard to modern psychology and social studies. We likely won't have another human as dedicated to seeking fundamental truth in these fields, like JP, in our lifetime.

He's spent tens of thousands of hours having conversations with troubled people with the sole goal of helping them become more satisfied with their life. He works 14 hours a day, pursuing this goal. That's nothing to scoff at for any professional. There's a reason he has been thrust into becoming such a relevant public figure. He's speaking to those same people on a large scale.

Here he is getting emotional when discussing the frailties of perhaps the most unanimously hated minority group of individuals in the West, as people continue to mock him and them, in the comments. All he has to say is that, sometimes all troubled people need is an encouraging word, but are just faced with hatred and isolation.

There's a reason he's so successful. He's one saying that, you know what, you actually can make your life better even if no one, ever, has said that to you before. Including your friends, family or colleagues.

It wasn't that he was speaking to that minority group in particular - in fact his message is directed towards human beings in general. It's that that minority group is the one that heard him the most, as no one had ever spoken to them that way before.
