a lot of the stuff Jordan Peterson says is in agreement with conclusions i had already reached independently. i had not paid much attention to him until i came across a video of his today.

the Internet calls him a right-winger, but the vast majority of what he says is either academic consensus or logically deduced from that consensus. he does profess a belief in God, which would make him popular with the US right, but it's not *that* kind of belief.

and i suspect he engages with the US right because they gave him a platform, not because he shares all their beliefs. he's the opposite of dogmatic.

i mean, if he's a "controversial right-wing figure" then i'm a controversial right-wing figure too, and i don't believe i am.
