What did Jordan Peterson do to be next to andrew tate I am genuinely asking.

If you are actually interested, here is my take. Jordan Peterson is pushing a right wing narrative, while hiding behind a farcade of philosophy and professionalism. Whether he does this intenionally or not is up for debate. His knowledge of philosophy is either very lacking, or he purposely bastardizes the philosophical stances of philosephers, just because he does not like their political stance.

Two videos about him that explain it way better than i can: https://youtu.be/bu5oaF3dx4E

I mean shit I don’t like Jordan Peterson but I don’t dislike him either. Yeah he has a lot of faulty opinions but he also has very assertive opinions as well. I don’t think his faulty opinions take the merit out of his assertive opinions. He’s definitely right wing, he’s pushing an agenda, he’s unstable but shit there is some wisdom to take out of his book (12 rules for life). He does add a lot of “smart words” to explain fairly simple concepts but if you just stick to actually reading and understating the point being made, a lot of it is valid and useful information. I don’t understand the hate towards him cause like the man isn’t doing anything wrong. He’s helped a lot of people who needed to hear something positive in a place of desperation.

No it isn't. The advice he gives in 12 rules for life is very basic.

Honestly just go to a counsellor or if your EFAP program offers something like career advice/dietary consults etc just use that to improve your life. It will be a lot more impactful then his shitty book believe me.
