I’d recommend watching one of his lectures rather than clips framed as “Jordan Peterson DESTROYS leftist” (the scourge of YouTube). He’s often intentionally put on the defensive in interviews and can understandably get prickly at continued attempts to wilfully misinterpret his arguments.
Better yet, interviews with him and Dave Rubin or Joe Rogan, or his discussions with Sam Harris, are great ways to get a non-combative side of him.
- Reedx 8y agoThe in-person discussions between Peterson and Sam Harris were great. It's what discourse should look like. They "steel man" each other, putting up the best form of each other's arguments. The opposite of creating/attacking straw men.
