I first became aware of Jordan Peterson after I wrote a short article for a Norwegian news site about gender roles in November.
A commenter had a link to a video where Jordan Peterson and Camille Paglia discussed this important topic:
Jordan Peterson first became known because he said NO to using gender-neutral pronouns at the University of Toronto.
He later became an overnight star after this interview on Channel 4 January 16 2018:
I especially like the part where Jordan Peterson slams the claim that the gender pay gap exists, by showing research findings on factor analysis (big 5).
Jordan Peterson seems to be influenced by Jung and his personality psychology, and he flat out stated that he thinks that Cathy Newman was animus-possessed (meaning to much masculinity) and that this also is the case with feminists. They are not against masculinity per se, but feminine (anima- possessed) men. This also align with my own view. He also think that SJW is just a result of increased influence of women in the workplace and in politics. This is needles to say, a very politically uncorrect claim.
I would highly recommend anyone that is feeling confused about gender roles, postmodernism to watch all his lectures on Youtube . In his videos almost all the students in his class are female, whereas 80% of his Youtube-viewers are men.
It is estimated that men are almost gone from the Universities except from the STEM fields in 10 years. The are several reasons for this, but the public school system is designed to give girls better grades, or at least the personality traits that girls have, and also that men do not thrive in female dominant environments.
It is also scary that high intelligence is associated with over excitability and ADHD symptoms, meaning that the egalitarian public school system could leading to huge numbers of intelligent pupils ending up as losers.
However, I do believe that men are still as much motivated to learn as before, and the fact that Jordan Peterson attracts such a hoard of young men is a testimony of this, and could also be part of tapping into the collective unconscious and resonates on a deeper lever.
As more and more unbiased education is online, this could be in line with Google's leading futurist Thomas Frey's prediction that an online school will be the largest internet company in 2030.
Jordan Peterson has recently published a book which I highly recommend:
What we can learn from Jordan Peterson's video is that by honing your linguistics skills by using a precise language, you can easily dismantle any verbal attack.
Also, you can always say NO and see what happens.
Thank you for your time and attention. Steem on!
