    Agree he says things that are very reasonable, to me its the tacit approval he gives to the wide range of losers who sprout his knowledge to denigrate others.

    He has been around for a while and has been writing books for ages. His prominence has increased as the Trump/Bojo/Scomo populist movements bring out deplorables quoting his work into the sunlight.

    Of course we have our own bias. Why I asked for evidence, rather than an opinion piece i dont trust any media platform

    80% mainstream media in US aligned to liberal/Dem. Just google.

    I dont know how i could give you non-opinion evidence if it comes down to subjective opinion? I feel like you are a little rusted on so i dont think i will be changing your mind regardless.

    As is John Mcworther, Glen Loury and Coleman Hughes. All are African American and all are critical of the CRT/woke narrative.

    I agree he has a responsibility to come out against the Trumpian right given the extremist threat it poses and the grotesque ideas it has mainstreamed. He won't though because some of his audience would desert him.

    Dont want to labour the point, but Peterson did a podcast with Joe Rogan. I think that sums the guy up.

    Listen to some of his "climate change" discussion and it was some of the most insane "i am intellectual cause i throw big words together in a sentence" dribble i have ever heard.

    Agree, it's great. Especially if you actually incorporate the principles into your life.
