Peterson has a fairly large and dedicated following. I found a few of his psychology lectures online. They were alright. He's obviously very passionate and able to communicate clearly at least some of the time. I'm not going to criticize his opinions in this entry because I have no idea what he actually thinks. What I think he deserves the most criticism for is his way of using language. @@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ What's particularly frustrating about Peterson is that the noises he makes on co It's not just the fact that he isn't plainspoken or that he's long-winded. Plenty of philosophers manage to be intelligible despite being verbose and roundabout on occasion. It's that he strings together these highfalutin phrases that cannot be understood without clarification, but his attempts to clarify are equally vague. I think one of the best examples of what I'm talking about here is [this video](https://yewtu.be/embed/9ZZDmxCBUQo?local=true "Jordan B. Peterson Smashes the World Record for Word Salad"). -I don't know Peterson's motives, but I don't believe he creates word salads on purpose. He seems to genuinely think he's making sense when he just isn't. He reminds me of [Deepak Chopra](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepak_Chopra) with the way he seems to hypnotize an audience with fanciful language that sounds deep and is grammatically correct, but incomprehensible. +I don't know Peterson's motives, but I don't believe he creates word salads on purpose.

Again, I am not inside Jordan Peterson's head. I've never met the guy. But, based on what I've seen of him online, he seems like a person who has been hypnotized by myth and legend to the point where he can't distinguish stories from reality. |
