He can be an ****, i'll agree with that.  I think his chief value in the public realm is as it long has been:  a clinical psychologist.  He's helped thousands upon thousands of people with his book and lectures, they thank him all the time for helping turn their lives around.  A lot of young men too.  Our boys and men are in crisis.  Killing each other, killing other innocent people, filling up our jails, committing suicide and other "deaths of despair" through substance abuse.  For many, he's the no-nonsense father figure they needed but never had.

Weird to have a discussion about somebody if all you feel is hatred for them.
I welcome your balls back! He should have stuck with being a clinical psychologist. He's made a mess of his position of being the debater who was to be the darling of the right.

And all the other positive you attribute to him are debatable at best. He after all owned none of it what wasn't already owned by sincere and socially responsible people.

I very much doubt that he'll be back.

As to me discussing somebody I feel hatred and disgust toward? It's the norm of course and it is applied to Trump, Biden, Trudeau, Horgan, and others by you as much as anyone else.

And now if you want to get a true picture of Peterson, take a chance on watching the full video in which Dillahunty destroyed him completely.

And fwiw, it was in a time in which Peterson couldn't be claiming mental issues!
It was believed afterward that the man was a lunatic, because there was no sense in what he said. ~M.T.
