I'm a fan.
Enjoyed the book.. but much of it was stuff I already knew and I wanted it to be longer.
He's an inspiring person.

Here's a good article about him.It's interesting that he speaks to individuals, but those who see the world through a tribal lens attribute those characteristics to him (and to everything). So people who his message resonates with become 'The Peterson Cult' or other such inane nonsense.

The fact that you fans don't understand how hyper-tribal this jackass is speaks volumes about your capacity for self deception. Peterson is identity politics dialed to 11. |

Pretty good debate. Did you watch it? As a rule I never watch videos people post no matter what they are about, particularly informal "debates" which are nothing more than facile entertainment based on the charisma of the speakers rather than content. Something very formal and structured, like what you get from Intelligence Squared, is the only thing I'd even consider giving my time to. It's all about having intellectual standards, something you wouldn't understand. |

'Intellectual standards' - sounds like what a pompous person might say when they figure they know everything. |

The whole point of having intellectual standards is that you know you don't know everything, want to have accurate models of reality in your head, and seek out trusted, respected sources who know a lot more than you do, shunning everything else as a waste of time. |

Thanks, I just learned a lot. To be honest, the debate was pretty one sided. The girl on the left was ignorant, the guy on the left was flat out racist. |
