Dr. Peterson is a work in progress. Also, he is very Canadian. My Canadian wife came around on Trump based on his actual performance on pro-life/family issues, but it would have been much more difficult had she not lived in the U.S> for a couple of decades.

Be patient with Dr. Peterson. He is brutally honest about what he actually thinks, mostly asks the right questions, is hard-working and intelligent, and is intellectually very, very intelligent.

He comes from the milieu of evolutionary psychology, and that informs his thinking. There’s a lot of garbage for him to cut through.

I wish he would take a break from those Russian and German writers and pick up some Chesterton or Dickens, balance things out a bit.

That was a very good take on Peterson you made.

Peterson is a Jungian which can addle one’s mind.

It's surprising to me he keeps saying that.

He himself was stigmatized over and over again as an extreme right winger, much like Trump. He was protested often, sometimes violently for his stand against the trans police and defending Western civ.

He's one very smart guy, one for this terrible time where the left is showing their teeth.

He's mistaken here, proving even a powerful intellect can be swayed by emotion. I respect him a lot, watched him defend Trump supporters to Bill Maher, much to my delight.

He should know better. Of all people, he should know better.
