I reliably heard that many Americans were paying over $125 to get a chance to hear the Canadian pyschologist Peterson speak. That's rather unusual for an academic; hence, it is possible that something in his message deeply resonates with Americans

He is intense and imperfect, the perfect blend of a modern Guru. Plus he exhorts, pleads and engages.. very refreshing to western youngsters who haven't had good Guru figures in their lives yet. Along with Camille Paglia,he is also a frantic Anti -Marxist/ feminist.

Even Razib is quite friendly to our side. :). My problem with Peterson is his borrowing of fundamentally Hindu knowledge to bolster pretA memeplex.

I'm fully cognizant of that aspect of JP --what malla rAjIva would call digestion. Even the peterson posture is a certain yogAsana. But the Abrahamistic framework of the west has been appropriating heathen knowledge thus for millenia from the yavana-s romAka-s, Egypt etc& nothing

stop them now. JP's favorite logos is a Christian theft from yavana-s, That's why I don't necessarily see these thinkers of the west as our collaborators. I merely observe them for H have to be aware of parallel and rival movements

Tragedy is that we are not using our own powers, haven't forfeited them for imported unmatta poison pills, while they keep rejuvenating themselves with our knowledge.
