Thoughts on Jordan Peterson?
I've liked him for a few years now but am curious to know if anyone else on this site does.
If you know who he is, what do you think of him?

He's a very eloquent speaker but too stuck inside his own dogmatic views to understand society outside his fairly small western culture bubble. He's perpetually fighting social evolution which is almost always a losing battle in the long term and i think his mental health is suffering from it.
TLDR he's an old man stuck in his ways who just happens to be good at sounding smart while speaking publicly.

@ViciDraco I agree about his mental health as generally I don't think it helps anyone to fixate on what they cannot change, but his views are still very valuable and he is mostly right imo.
Also, I wouldn't call it social evolution. Don't know what you mean by "western culture bubble" either. Clearly most of what he discusses applies to the west, because he's a western speaker talking about predominantly western issues...how does that make any of what he's saying invalid?
