Brian, what are your thoughts about this piece written by another philosopherhttps://medium.com/@alexanderdouglas/review-of-jordan-petersons-stupid-lecture-1bcb3f277373 …

I had to stop reading after a few paragraphs - the tone, the sarcasm, the lack of charity, etc., are not very philosophical in my view

I haven't put in the hours with JP that Yang has, but it's nice to read something about JP which is neither a hit piece, nor a gushing mini-hagiography. The criticism of the media response is especially sharp. Worth reading.

He doesn't seem particularly "obscurantist" to me either, but this may be because I was reading Jung, Campbell, and Wilber at a young age. Compared to Ken Wilber, Peterson is quite linear in his expression.

I'll disagree with the group here. The article is good at stating what has always seemed to me as self-evident about Peterson: He makes many interesting observations, which are interpreted by his detractors as prescriptions, and appears rather moderate in his views.

I am tempted to play down Peterson and point out many of his views are reasonable like this article does, but I get a strong sense he is treating his right wing supporters like an experiment in a petri dish and I believe it's an experiment in growing & manipulating a modern cult

It's a well-written summary. I think this section is fair comment:pic.twitter.com/1k0TD9xxJL

Most interesting thing about JP is not anything he says, but how ppl react to him. He's a bit like a mirror that shows you more about yourself, and lets you see whatever you want.

Also, this piece is wrong about men's rights groups embracing JP. In reality, MRAs talk about JP a lot b/c he talks about gender issues from a non-feminist perspective, and that's interesting to them. But they have significant disagreements w/ him:https://youtu.be/faeT4fIFAcg

"Anyone who listens to Peterson’s actual words without the intent of discovering in them the horrors they already believe that they will find there...will discover that, in fact, his thinking on most discrete problems nearly always bends toward moderation."

Sounds like Peterson is high-functioning Aspergers, out of touch with others. Also a bit narcissistic, cf Milo. But if he's really so centrist and moderate and mainstream (while superficially seeming so extreme), what is lost by ignoring him?
