Thanks for the read and the words Andre!

You should check out the Nathan Robinson article. Jordan Peterson is the exact opposite of specific. He speaks in 85 word soliloquies when a "yes or no" would suffice. I can hardly listen to him because he is so wandering and never gets to the point. And when arguing the point with 800 words, he always leaves qualifiers like, "most and usually" and then when pressed to defend his position will fall back on the fact that he didn't make a definitive statement. It is not specific in the least.

As far as his values go, as I said in the article, his ideology and words contribute directly to the rise in nationalism and fascism. Far right people love his work and the work of people like Dave Rubin (who he went on tour with).

He contributes negatively to the discourse, leads to nationalism, and is now weighing in on the wrong side of history with climate change, further f-ing up that discussion.

He doesn't have much for "values" beyond a propagandized version of "Western Excellence" and making money by crafting a message for his fans and "triggering the libs."
