    "It could be his dark view of life, wherever it comes from, that the aggressive group of young men among his followers identify with. They may feel recognized, affirmed, justified and enabled. By validating them he does indeed save them, and little wonder they then fall into line enthusiastically, marching lockstep behind him"

    • Peterson probably saved a few lives of young men. In the same way believing in jesus has.PhanLo
    • Cheap self help doesn't mean he healed people, is a scam. His current life is proof of thatSalarrue
    • "dark views" Eh? The backlash against Peterson is everything that is wrong with the left...inteliboy
    • the problem is talking or defending absolutes, right and left are not perfect and will never be. I think the lesson is not to worship any false prophet.Salarrue
    • Can't stand Shapiro, though he aint a bad guy, or spouting 'dark views', or part of the alt right. Just a dude with a bunch of opposing views to me. The end.inteliboy
    • I do understand the backlash against Peterson... where it comes form... though it bleeds onto people like Rogan and Sam Harris...inteliboy

    • "Your" thoughts are just the latest permutation of the global collection of thoughts that we have been refining since forever.monNom
    • @Salarrue. You asked "Why does someone need another person to think or build their judgment instead of himself?" Man, thats a deep, deep question. Besides 10%..Morning_star
    • of the planet being athiest, meaning that 90% look for 'someone' to think for, guide and judge them on a daily basis. I think the answer is, it's human nature..Morning_star
    • Peterson sold 2million+ books, some of which had a valuable impact on the readers lives. I think your dismissal of him is influenced by common...Morning_star
    • ...misconceptions and untruths. Maybe you should ask yourself why your judgement is influenced by others.Morning_star
