I’ve posted a couple of Jordan’s videos here and find his views in turn interesting, provocative, challenging but always well researched and well thought out. I bought a relative who has studied psychology the hefty Maps of Meaning and will get around to reading it myself soon.
One of the videos I posted was his review of Disney’s Pinocchio, a film that even as a child, I found oddly disturbing and in some parts terrifying. Peterson describes the archetypes and the contained esoteric narrative and it goes way deeper than I could have imagined. That’s really worth a watch.
Critics will dismiss him as a poster boy for the alt-right but I think this is a handy simple badge placed on him so his opinions can be safely ignored by the groupthinkers who aren’t even on the same playing field to engage in a debate with him. For example, his appearance with Kathy Newman on Channel 4 news became a worldwide talking point and propelled his book into the number one slot for weeks. Yes, even though he did the ‘Lobster’ material.
Newman floundered as Peterson made his case with well-studied and carefully-practised analytical precision.
He’s his own man and he knows his stuff, that’s for sure. He railed against those who told him what terms he should use. While a lot of those you’d call right wing see him as the best hope of calling out PC madness, he also draws admiration and respect from some of those on the left who see beyond the ‘Poster Boy for the Patriarchy’ badge stuck on him.
