    Good riddance.

    Jordan Peterson started out as a talented and charismatic academic that gave advice to young people who wanted to improve their life (“clean your room” “Spend time reading books” “don’t be hard on yourself”).

    He slowly turned into a millionaire guru. He now praises pseudo-science, snake oil salesmen and unscrupulous politicians. He is also a self-hating Canadian.

      Characterizing Peterson as a “talented and charismatic academic”?? I don’t know, maybe he was before anyone knew of him, but he certainly hasn’t been that in the public eye.

      Jordan Peterson became a well-known figure after publishing a series of Youtube videos about his opposition to Bill C-16, where he argued that respecting people’s pronouns is an affront to his free speech. He’s been a hack, a grifter, and an asshole since day one.
