Anyone have thoughts on why passions run so high around Jordan Peterson? Seems to be an unusually polarizing figure.

Couldn't have said it better.

What specifically that he’s saying do you find derivative?
-
I would frame it the other way around. I don't hear him saying anything new.
-
I feel open to learning, though, and I realize I may have missed something. I'll listen to the dialogue you linked to between JP and Camille Paglia. Haven't heard it yet.
-
Listening now. At 3:45 fascinated by Paglia's description of her own experience at university in upstate New York and what she calls "the authentic legacy of the 1960s."
-
At 6:39, loving Paglia's takedown of French theorists Foucault, Derrida, et al., claiming they opportunistically co-opted the intellectual legacy of the 60s which they had nothing to do with. JP hasn't spoken yet.
-
8:17: Have to pause again to appreciate what a badass Paglia is. Kicking ass on "philistine" professors who have "no sense of beauty, no sense of the aesthetic." So far, Paglia is the big dog and Peterson is along for the ride. They're on the same page, but it's all Paglia.
-
17:33: Peterson talked about "demolition of grand narratives" & "embodied grand narratives," & "intellectual camouflage for the kind of pathological Marxism that produced the Soviet Union." Don't know what it means. Maybe it's me. Pause here, hopefully pick it up again tomorrow.
