- ecdavis 9y agoWatching this interview was largely a waste of time. I think it was best encapsulated by Peterson's comment on heirarchical social structures among lobsters being followed by the question, "So you're saying we should organize our society like the lobsters?" A collection of thoughtful statements followed by misunderstandings or outright misrepresentations of what he had just said. I was disappointed because I would like to see him defend his positions against someone with well-prepared criticisms. Admittedly I don't go seeking out Peterson content so perhaps there are plenty of those sorts of discussions floating around (if you know of any I would appreciate a link). It's not that I necessarily think he's wrong, I just appreciate the occasional probing, aggressive interview -- provided it's well-executed (which this one was not).
