Like most people, I'd never heard of Jordan Peterson until a short time ago. In my case, the first signal of his arrival on the cultural scene was a friend's series of Facebook posts vividly denouncing him as a reactionary cult-like leader. Seeing a Canadian psychology professor be the subject of such alarm piqued my curiosity. As an American ex-academic, I tend to stereotype Canadians as almost laughably polite, and professors as largely contained in their own hyper-specialized, politically irrelevant bubbles. The vision of a wild-eyed Canadian psych prof with a fanatical alt-right following on YouTube was an intriguing challenge to my priors.
Soon, I found myself going down the Peterson rabbit-hole with countless others. I listened to several of his lectures on reinterpreting Bible stories as archetypical myths. Contradicting my friend's warnings of hate-filled right-wing propaganda, I found Peterson's discussions intellectually engaging, personally meaningful, and a refreshing departure from the standard discourse on such issues. I read up on Peterson's battles over Canadian hate speech legislation and watched his infamous
Cathy Newman interview.
Here again, I found Peterson's commentary to be largely thoughtful and thought-provoking. I tuned into his podcast discussions with Sam Harris, and started exploring Harris's work as well. I even bought and read
12 Rules for Life, and put
Maps of Meaning on order at my local public library.
