Ok well that choice of quote which you apparently liked is pretty illuminating about where you are coming from.It is in no way any kind of valid intellectual criticism. It is simply an argument that Peterson doesn't understand Marxism, (the very common Marxist argument that people who criticize...

He actually argues for the neccessity of (and in defence of) the left here:

My search was for psilocybin smoking cessation, I missed out mystical sorry. By the way "15 subjects in an open-label trial is no where near enough for statistical significance." is hardly a scientific statement is it. The results were statistically significant, sorry. Yes it's a small study...

First the article accepts that what he says about the lobster is correct. The argument that he might be misusing the example is presented like this: "If the common ancestor of humans and lobsters (she's talking about acoels) lacked dominance hierarchies (which seems likely, based on what we...

He never actually say you cannot stop smoking without a mystical experience (although he said "not really", which I accept is quite close to saying that), when he elaborated he said there "aren't really any reliable chemical means" of doing so, which I think is pretty on point. I had a quick...

Wow, I was just looking at his subreddit and someone posted a picture of the crowd at Dublin's 3Arena where he was doing a debate last night apparently. It's quite surreal to think that such a large crowd is there to listen to a several hour long intellectual discussion, and on a Saturday night...

This is really interesting, talking about why people vote the ways that they do and why some people are the SJW/Politically correct types.

He can certainly come accross as quite forceful (or perhaps insistant). I'm not sure I understand what you mean about him appealing to slightly mysogynistic or slightly racist men though? From what I have heard of him he believes the individual is important, and his biggest gripe seems to be...

Seems to have become something of a phenomenon over the last year or so, especially since the Channel 4 interview with Cathy Newman blew up in January. He's a clinical psychologist but he certainly covers a lot of ground, from History to Psychology to Philosophy to Politics to Ethics to...
