Jordan Peterson is a hack philosopher who barely understands the source material he critiques. He does not understand Marx’s historical materialism in the slightest; his lectures on Christianity are more rambles than coherent points; and his claim to fame is getting upset over pronouns and riding that pony to the money train that is the alt-right pipeline. If you actually know these topics, it’s plain to see how shallow Peterson’s opinions and viewpoints are. He’s a great con-man—I’ll give him that.

He's very good at saying nothing in so many words and then claiming something that doesn't follow from what he said.

He once told a friend he wanted to buy an old church. Puzzled, his friend asked what for, assuming he meant to live in like some weird rich recluse might do. Nope. He wanted to buy it so he could give sermons to people about his ideologies.

If only he just did that instead of existing publicly 😒

That guy still eating only meat or have his arteries fully clogged up yet?

Probably, since he claims it is for some weird disease.

Unless you count all the nutritious pills he needs to swallow to be even slightly healthy.

Except for all the brain damage he suffered through his benzos addiction, that shit is irreversible.
