Good article, that. His last book "A Brief History of Everyone That Ever Lived", is great.

My main take away from that is that we should adopt the Hyena model of hierarchy. Interesting read, though. I’m glad of any material that exposes the level of charlatanry exhibited by this fucking fool. 

Peterson seems strong in some areas, where I’ve listened to him and totally agreed. The more he seems to branch out, the worse it seems.

What a piece of work is a Sam! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!

 

And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Sam delights not me....

I read this far more times than it warranted and I can't really see any facts or indeed anything that makes any sense at all.

Ask Sam Harris to simplify it using one of his ‘thought experiments’. That’s always fun.
