I would agree. Peterson has helped me. That being said, Peterson is someone with a few good ideas that encompass a singular limited view of the world. It doesn't help with military maneuvers (or the world political theater at large), or dietary choices, or a host of other topics. It's not necessary for someone to have deep thinking applied to every topic, but that's an assumed, pre-requisite of an intellectual. Someone who is smart and has something valuable to say, primarily because it has been a focus in their lives, have repeatedly been asked to voice opinions. These opinions are inappropriately over-valued in the modern zeitgeist. Asking Peterson about AI is silly. eg I wouldn't ask John Ousterhout, who is looking to formalize a process for creating "great programmers", about how to maximize my tax deductions.
