Peterson seems like such a gentle fellow. A genuinely kind person. When he gives his lectures, you can see how much he clearly cares for those he teaches. When he cries on webcam, you can see those are no alligator's tears. Say what you want regarding the depth of his intellect, or his misrepresentation of the ideologies he comments on, but never say that he has no compassion as a man, because he clearly does. I don't follow him, or any of that conservative versus SJW warfare, but I'm from Toronto and if I ever see him in person I'll make sure to shake his hand and give him a warm grin. He's a good person, at least in some regards, and we should appreciate his sincere quest in helping a subsection of our generation.

The only Petersonesque scenarios I've dealt with were with mandatory freshman classes like babby pol sci and anthropology. Even then, if a professor tells you that white people are evil, you keep your mouth shut, repeat it on the exam, and move on with your life. There would be one or two guys in those classes who would try to turn the lecture into a debate, but what's the point?

You're not seeing the big picture. Most of the people who are going into academia, government, or journalism are taking those routes.

I don't really get how Peterson is supposed to revive Christianity, any time he attempts to define God he strays into boomer esotericism territory, and he shills Hicks' Explaining Postmodernism, a book that paints scholastic philosophy as depraved of reason.
