I enjoyed reading this precisely because it wasn't a puffed up hit piece. I mean, the author's beef with Peterson is obvious, but so is his confusion. It's not written by someone who *wants* to take issue with the man.

This indictment of Jordan Peterson from a friend & colleague is thoughtful, subtle, and disturbing thestar.com/opinion/2018/0

In many ways, I can relate. I don't lean right politically, even a little bit, but Peterson often makes good points. Sometimes he maps as well-justified in his reasoning, even if he's not necessarily *correct*. Not so much since becoming famous. Not at all.

I remember watching one of his lectures on Youtube where he deliberated at length on the personality traits that informed some of his politics. There was a thoughtful man, capable of some ironic distance to his own ideas and a healthy amount of skepticism.

To expand on this, I initially thought Peterson was making a brave stance by admitting to the relationship between personality and politics. I.e. "I believe this because this is who I am," not "I believe this because it is True."
