Beautifully put!

Peterson's other fault is not having an elevator speech. He runs deep and he's hard to take in all at once. That makes him a good target, because you can say he is anything, and people won't be able to prove otherwise.

Even after watching two Rogan casts with the guy, I was still like, I can't sum this guy up. He's so interdisciplinary, he has a lot to say about a lot of things.

I watched the first few of his biblical series. I'm a lifelong atheist/agnostic and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Religion, from a Darwinian perspective! The book of Genesis describing the coming online of human consciousness - and having wild insights that modern science proves out! I wish I had more time to put into it, because it's like going back to university and taking a course from a really good prof who tells you amazing things that change your understanding.

But I guess we don't have to go back, in order to do that. It turns out YouTube is a better school than Cambridge. Why: no fucking STUDENTS.
