Based on the recent posts, I'm sure my opinion on this matter will be unpopular. But I will offer it nevertheless.
There is a saying "you're only as good as your last performance". People have short memories, and it's easy to judge JP my his most recent statements, or by his lowest moments (his addiction to painkillers, culminating in a complete absence from the public eye while undergoing intensive treatment in Russia, for example). But those who have enjoyed his content should remember we owe him some respect.
For all his faults, he has red pilled thousands of people, young and old, and helped them tremendously. He has brought many back to God and the church, which is no small feat considering how sickening and depraved our modern secular world has become. He has inspired people to be more responsible, orderly and courageous. He has renewed many people's faith in the west, despite the sustained cynicism and attacks of academia/msm/the corporate world against it.
That he doesn't just pray and fast all day long, and that he may be left of center (or of you personally) on some issues is missing the mark.
He is a very wise, brave man who has done more for sane political and cultural discourse than any other public figure in recent history. His arguments against feminism, athiesm, and left-wing authoritarianism are unmatched and remain undefeated. His numerous interviews and panel appearances, his biblical lecture series were all excellent. He annihilated the moronic politicians during the C-16 senate hearing. He called out those who needed it.
I remember when he first started ruffling some feathers back in early 2016. I was working in a related field at the time, and living in Toronto, paid close attention to the local ground swell. That he gained so much respect for refusing to bow down to the mob with the compelled speech (Bill C-16) issue showed that our culture was lacking that type of integrity, common sense and eloquence.
Whether he 'sold out' after signing with CAA and making millions, and hasn't quite been the same after his medical interventions again misses the mark. These are not unimportant points, but I find they are mostly discussed by angsty 20-somethings who haven't really done anything with their lives, and who will never make the positive impact Jordan has.
I've heard lots of arguments about reading other Christian sources instead of reading Peterson. I've seen him hated because he is both not conservative enough and also not liberal enough -- being both a nazi and a shill for the Jews, etc. It's a mess.
I haven't heard many deep, thorough discussions of his ideas or his positive influence however.
