Jordan Peterson

I do. His philosophies are on-point. My only criticism is that he tends to ramble, and he uses terms that are too academic. He'd be a lot more relatable if his speech was more down-to-earth.

Lately he's been real emotional, and I don't know if it's his age or his medication, but unfortunately, it's pretty distracting.

He has gone through so much in his recent years. Catastrophic health issues (non Covid-19), daughter also has bad health scare, loss of his tenure to name a few. I too agree with his on point philosophies. I mostly appreciate his academic talk but I almost need to have paper and pen with me to take notes, as you said.
 
Big fan here.

I'm not troubled by academic terms, from Peterson or anyone else, as I usually understand them, and I can easily look up those few I don't know.

He does ramble a bit sometimes, but his rambles generally shed light on his topic, in the same way a footnote or sidebar does in print.
 
Wasn't Jordan Peterson discussed in another thread here? When I googled him I found I had read the page before.

If you want watch some of this. I always come away after listening to him feeling like I have learned nothing . He seems to exist in the intellectual eithers. :)


To be fair, he does academic research involving data. He isn't that concerened with application of the data, but he is concerned about the mis-application of the data.

You know what? I did hear of him before... it was on this site. He made no sense to me.
