this individual certainly encountered a different Peterson than i did

Peterson oscillates between exasperated tradcon and insightful synthesizer of 20C philosophy and psychology. You may have encountered the former, as that tends to get sound-bited for media distribution.
-
yeah, i got Jordan "what the SJW is trying to do in this situation is avoid formulations that in the past have been used to harm vulnerable people, and that's why we need a panopticon government to regulate everybody's genitalia" Peterson
-
The sound-bite problem is a big problem. It also doesn't help that his accent codes as "yokel" or "Boreal redneck" to a lot of people
-
i mean, sound-biteitis isn't exactly solely a problem other people are inflicting on himhttps://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/966009432499990528 …

You're right and he makes mistakes, particularly when he forgets that most of his audience is non-charitable. I also think he's internally conflicted re: his authoritarian tradcon preferences and his principled libertarian intellectual positions.
-
well, i can certainly extend him some compassion in the matter of conflicted priorities

I definitely think that's important but I was under the impression that Peterson's audience overlapped quite a bit with the Red Pill crowd. Joe Rogan fills a similar role in the culture imo, and used to do it in a way that I felt was more inclusive than Peterson.
-
The overlap is the important part. Peterson is a much healthier mentor for disaffected young men than cynical, sociopathic redpillers. That's addressed in the thread btw.
-
I read the post in thread as being you go to either one or the other, when it seems to be more of a package deal
-
I think they're mutually exclusive but there may be liminal states
