Jordan Peterson definitely held his own against Cathy Newman’s embarrassing & deeply partisan barrage. The Vice interview has the hallmarks of a plausible hatchet job in editing. But IMO, his interview with Sam Harris revealed a serious lack of sophistication in his reasoning.
There were many points during their conversation where JP could neither engage with nor determine the flaws of SH’s toy problems. As far as I could tell, JP was trying to do the same clumsy sleight of hand over & over, and it doesn’t really surprise me that it flies in academia

I was surprised that neither of them could identify where they were talking past each other. They both seemed sophisticated enough to not make that mistake. Still, I thought it was fascinating. Morality > facts or facts > morality? Pros and cons.
