I'm sorry but the first paragraph is very unfair and not true in my opinion.

You can figure out for yourself, watch this debate and tell me if Peterson is the type of person described in the article.

I promise I'll read your full article beyond the first paragraph :)




The article mentions that interview and concedes Peterson comes out stronger there.


I think both had strong arguments at times.

Quite fascinating discussion, like watching a match of intellectual boxing :)


I recommend reading the whole article.

Things are busy at work today, but I'll check it out when I have some time. If you could point me to a shorter clip within the almost 2 hours video, I will be more likely to look at it.


You can watch anytime at least the first 20 minutes. I just wanted to give a counter example to the first paragraph of the article which describe him like an opaque person who doesn't listen. I particularly like this debate because it shows he can have a decent conversation with a well known atheist and he actually listens to him. That's why I find the first paragraph really off which makes me having some doubts about the whole article. But I will read it nevertheless.


He did not came particularly well off in that debate.


I think both had their good points at times. Anyway, the debate shows a man different than the one described in the article. That's why I posted it
