He could have easily won Conservative party leadership, he would have made all of the others look like idiots the first time he debated the morons. The Liberals would never have voted him in though, he is viewed as an alt-right, racist, sexist, bigot, despite this being completely untrue.

Yessir, professor of psychology at U of T. Also taught at Harvard for a stint. Put his teaching and his practice on hold for the last 18 months due to all the hub bub he's been involved in.

He sounds intelligent enough, but he's a Conservative Christian...wrong end of the political spectrum to be of interest to me.

What interested me most though, was his novel way of understanding religious texts, especially those of Judeo-Christianity. According to Peterson, “The Bible is, for better or worse, the foundational document of Western civilization (of Western values, Western morality, and Western conceptions of good and evil.)” I believe that is entirely correct. But then Peterson employs a unique Jungian perspective, rather than a classic historic hermeneutic, to re-interpret it in a symbolic (i.e. “archetypal”) kind of way.

Every article I can find refers to him as alt-right and christian and some call him dangerous.. I am not a conservative and I very anti-religion. I am not interested in hearing anything he has to say, obviously.

He is alt-right and very much into religion as a controlling force. Every article called him conservative or alt-right - is there another party besides con/lib you are referring to?

Lol a lot of smear articles. Yet instead of informing yourself, you'd rather assume. Hes discussed these very articles and topics being that they outright lie about him due to his views opposing theirs. This very fact suddenly makes people alt right or far right these days because it's easier to label someone than to actually challenge their opposing views. Your loss really, seems rather obvious you could benefit from his work. Im no christian or religious by any definition of the word nor conservative yet I find his work very interesting. There's probably a reason he has a #1 best selling book for weeks now.

A little presumptuous and condescending of you, no? We've butted heads on our political leanings before, so if you are a fan of the guy, chances are he's not speaking to me. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that we see the world differently. The little I watched and read from and about the guy wasn't appealing to me at all. I'm not joining the fan club. lol!
