Will he go down as this centuries greatest philosopher?

How did this lower-middle tier midwit intellectual, with no charisma, a goofy appearance, and a Kermit the frog voice, become so popular? Nothing he says is particularly interesting and it isn't new.

Do American and Canadian males (his main audience), and I would add the anglo-centric world as a whole, not have proper father figures? It seems like most of his followers are experiencing their missed father-son relationship through Peterson

>start to spittlily rant about sensational culture-war flashpoints
>suddenly make 600K per annum off of illiterate politically apathetic YouTube millenials too incurious to read books but too arrogant not to want to view themselves as "intellectual"

How did Jordan Peterson so quickly rise to become the foremost public intellectual (and intellectual meme) of our time?

8 months ago, nobody knew his name.

Now, he has surpassed Zizek on every conceivable level, inheriting the crown of "world's #1 public intellectual."

What enabled him to accomplish this?

Was it simply him triggering the SJWs that caused him to 'go viral,' or are there more serious literary merits that explain his success? If so, which ones?

Also, what will Zizek do now that all the cool kids go to Peterson for their psychoanalytic commentary?

Name a flaw.
PROTIP: you can't.

Anyone want to explain the appeal of this motherfucker? He seems like a more academic version of those e-celeb youtubers that amassed hundreds of thousands of followers by ranting about intersectional feminism in children's toys.
