What’s So Dangerous About Jordan Peterson?
I would place myself in the conservative corner, but I find Peterson quite problematic.<p>1. It just feels too good to hear him talk in those maps of meaning lectures. But if you don’t „follow“ and instead analyze what he is saying and how he forms an argument, then you realize that he is not arguing but just putting metaphors together and interpreting them as he sees fit in the moment. That’s why it’s so appealing. But quite often it’s not logic and even less conclusive.<p>2. His often repeated „life is suffering“ is in the presented totallity not a useful nor true worldview. Life is suffering and joy. (I say this as a pessimist.)<p>3. If you then check out his reading list you find mostly very disturbing titles and no silver lining.<p>2. and 3. put his followers in a depressed state where he can uplift them with 1. 
No wonder he has a sect like following.<p>His conservative debates are more to the point but I‘m not sure if it is not just advertising for his „religious lectures“.<p>That’s what I find dangerous about him.
