I’m not defending Dr. Peterson’s fuzzy thinking on this topic. But, although I’ve read him, listened to him, and like him, I’ve never thought he was infallible, or agreed with everything he says.
But even here, when he says something that, to me, is obviously wrong, he entertains different viewpoints and self-doubt.
I may have been too harsh as i still like Peterson and think he’s trying his best to fight the good fight. Just mostly disappointed with him attempting to wave this away as nothing but a thought experiment rather than simply admitting it was an ill-considered tweet. But hey we all have our bad moments and i know he must feel under the gun, what with so many people looking for any opening in order to take him down. So i’ll give him a pass here and wish him well moving forward.
