The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast

Doesn’t know what being a man is

Dr. Peterson’s earlier work was so thoughtful; he seems to have become angry and reactive in recent years and his discourse on the podcast has become unhinged and untethered to reality. Maybe a result of his echo chamber after leaving university work. Really disappointing.

I read a couple of his books and liked them, so I started listening to his podcast. Unfortunately, as time progresses, his ego is apparently inflating and his integrity is degrading. To hear him reach for reasons to praise Trump was painful. The concept of Truth that he used to praise is gone. Trump is conscientious because he’s an early riser and can tell a joke? Let’s just ignore the whole trying to overturn the election. The numerous times he has not paid people what he owes must be a sign of Trump’s conscientiousness, right? Oh, and the fact that he lies, constantly. And the whole sexual assault thing. At least he’s a bully so other countries will still be afraid of the USA? I remember in Jordan’s book when he was against bullies. It was so painful to hear Peterson become another person who throws away their integrity and any sense of character to pander to trump. For me, this was the last straw. It’s time to unfollow.

I really appreciate your insights, Jordan and I recognize that this is your show. However, the point of having a guest on is to allow them plenty of time to talk about their unique views. Yes, your commentary is essential and expected. But the balance should be in the guests favor.
