Slipnet, i tryed to maintain deep breathing while reading you - which was hard - and i read a lot of militancy that somehow Peterson is kind of a great regular human but he's not one of those with the secret knowledge and doesnt mention this deep conspiracy or that critical idea -
But really, it's you I see running around making inferences about his inner reality, and quite offhandedly positioning yourself as more enlightened for your intellectual knowledge of this or that.
First, have you heard about strategic enclosure? Peterson is a man who speaks things he knows to be true, but he's also a man who's felt - and legitimately so - that the media/collective psyche would tear him to shreds at the slightest misstep. He's been very mindful of what he says, and everything he says has a purpose. Would you want him to start to rave about any of these topics and get laughed off the stage or start a fight? Yay P!
Seriously. He has integrity and character and knows where he's been placed. He's a clinician. Why the hell talk about ufos or hyperdimensions? He can talk about the Work in manner that inspires the exoteric-minded - without the risky parenthesis, with all the results. And as for figuring the psychopathy thing, he was confronted to psychopaths and his own shadow, and went on to integrate from archetypal psychology to a deep reading of the Gulag Archipelago and such - and you think he hasn't figured out political ponerology?
To the contrary. He yells as loudly about the process of ponerization and induced (secondary) psychopathy as he can, in a manner that wont get him killed. With the level of exposure he has, i don't see a more optimal strategy than for him to do exactly what he's been doing.
And and also, why do you assume so many weaknesses in him and seek to demean him? He's actually rather smart at deflecting the jewish question by maintaining a narrative he knows to be academically true. That's not his warhorse and he knows it. One of his key messages is to get yourself together, get a purpose and shoulder the burden. He's fulfilling the role of carrying that message - and its burden - quite admiringly. The sheer presence and gravitas he embodies in his interviews demonstrates a level of self-mastery that cannot be counterfeited, Channel 4 only being one of many. Thus he earns my benefit of the doubt; on the contrary, your readiness to infer and demean him loses it.
