Strong words, Jason. I have looked into Peterson quite deeply. Although I do not agree with his worldview (it is far too Jungian/dark Christian/Western White Male for my take), he is hardly a fraud. His scientific work on the Big Five Personality
facets is good, he lectures very well and demonstrates excellent knowledge of philosophy, he moves and inspires people. His Maps of Meaning book starts with a deep articulation of the basic structure of human psychology. Indeed, he has far more intellectual
depth and integrity than a lot of the extreme identity politic left out there.
What makes you think he is a fraud or an awful human being?

Steve,
I love it! It pretty much confirms what I suspected about Peterson....that he's an intellectual fraud. And probably an awful human being, as well.

At the time of my writing, Seth is still constructing his thread. Here are a few excerpts (from the most recent tweets):
