I have very deeply conflicted feelings about Jordan Peterson. On the one hand, I agree with you that his own personal writing and stances are fairly transparent and reasonable.
On the other hand, he actively attracts and covets the deeply right fringes, and claims no responsibility when they use his stances for extremist viewpoints and attacks.
Example:
Jordan Peterson: "I think making mis-gendering someone a federal hate crime is a step too far and infringes free speech more than it protects trans people."
His supporters: "Yeah, FUCK TRANS PEOPLE!"
Jordan Peterson: "<crickets>"
