I think many who support Peterson have a problem with his more suspect arguments, but they overlook them because they see Peterson, for now at least, as a welcome saboteur of the orthodoxy that they so despise. When the orthodoxy is defeated, *then* they will consider the rest.

Replying to @atthatmatt @GodDoesnt
Mainly his weirdly postmodern view that truth is relative, his weird interspersion of scripture and allegory into evolutionary science, and his bizarre view that traditions like marriage perform crucial social roles such as preventing sexual assault.

I think his broad generalizations -and he would readily concede that exceptions exist- may in part come from his 1000’s of hours of experience in clinical psychology treating 1000’s of patients both male and female. His consistent willingness for open debate is a big positive.

I don't know how 1000s of hours treating 1000s of patients qualifies you to make claims about the relativity of truth, or the importance of biblical allusions to understanding evolution, or about the power of marriage to prevent sexual assault (none of which has any evidence btw)

I have yet to see Peterson say anything he can't support. Are you sure there's no foundation for those ideas?

Not that I'm aware of. But I like surprises!
