The classification of drugs has taken such a toll on him that he may never walk unaided or have the motor skills to type unaided.
This is what the left is laughing at.
Who?
Peterson is brilliant, and an undaunted champion in the fight against collectivism in all its forms.
I wish him all the best in his recovery battle.
I wish him well. Pro-conservative, anti-progressive academic. A rarity in liberal arts.
Ping.
Some benzos (i.e. clonazepam) are used as anti-seizure meds, but aren’t recommended long term because of dependence and decreasing usefulness over time.
Clorazepate is another anti-seizure benzo but with a far lower dependency rate.
I wonder what he’s on now for seizures.
Jordan Peterson is not a pundit or a news-media slogan-cracker.
His lectures are usually 1.5-2.0 hours and its like climbing an intellectual mountain. Its some work to follow, but you appreciate the view once you are up there.
Peterson has become the closest thing I have to a hero.
His podcast is outstanding and his youtube series on the Book of Genesis is an philosophical tour de force.
I also highly recommend “12 Rules Fort Life.”
He always seemed to have been right on the edge — intellectually and physically — so watching his videos is like watching someone performing intellectual high wire without a net.
The man is brilliant. He’s hated by the Left because he dismantles their arguments into oblivion and not one has ever been able to lay a glove on him. They’re simply outmatched and that enrages them.
Prayers up for him and his family. I hope he returns good as ever with no lingering effects. Not only for his sake, but because the world needs Jordan Peterson.
His long conversation here with Ben Shapiro was fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1opHWsHr798&t=3s
Oh, no...I’m so sad to hear this.
I was just wondering about Jordan Peterson, the other day. Wondering where he’s been. Now, I know.
I do wish he could’ve obtained successful treatment, here, rather than traveling to a Russia, for treatment.
Says a lot, that he’s NOT being treated in Canada.
Prayers up.
Best wishes for Peterson - drug addiction is horrifying, not only for the addict but for everyone who cares about the addict. I hope he recovers swiftly - the world needs him.

I have been following this, it is so sad. Jordan is one of my modern personal heroes, they are dying away. (Cousteau, Carl Sagan).
Losing a loved one to a long battle with cancer is hard. Any person who revels in anyone dealing with such a loss is a ghoul.
He was “on” all the time.
Sad to hear. He is a really great guy. I knew he had been going through tough times but I didn’t know it was this bad. Prayers up.
I wish him well!
He’s been the most courageous warrior in the fight against the scourge of postmodernism that is destroying the west.
This is very sad news. Jordan Peterson is a brilliant man who has used logic and facts to destroy the nonsense the leftists spout about politically correct speech, gender-bending and socialism v. capitalism. His uTube videos are excellent. I hope he makes a full recovery.
Was he on an all-meat diet?
