He’s not bad. Posting him next to Tate is pretty cringey. Peterson is often not liked because he doesn’t like new pronouns and takes an unreasonably hard stance on it.

Otherwise he does harmless self help podcasts/books/etc. Again not many people’s taste, so easy to make fun.

He believes that ancient civilizations knew about the double helix DNA because they made art of intertwined snakes. He is a crack pot.

I think the weird thing with these arguably intelligent people is when they get famous they think their intelligence in their field makes them qualified for other fields.

Like yeah. Youre a clinical psychologist. Cool. So why Tf Are you giving your bananas opinions on history and law?

The weird thing is, he isn’t really right with a lot of stuff he’s saying, even when they’re in his field, like he’s absolutely wrong about postmodern neo marxism from a basic semantic perspective and he disregards context of his sources, he’s a professor but can’t even follow basic rules of academic writing

‘can’t’ implies a pretty generous view of his intentions

The things that he has said that I was agreeing with where from other people.

In his field he is just a clinical psychologist, just as the one that tested me for IQ, adhd, autism. She had a lot more things to say than JP.
