I understand your perspective on Peterson ..but lots to disagree with you and the writer from my own position. However .. my main reason for responding is that final reference to his illness a few years back. As someone who has battled through a season of the old depression malarkey I don’t think such an episode disqualifies anyone from making a useful contribution and the use of medication is neither here nor there. For me I feel fortunate that I emerged with a deeper self awareness and empathy for the plight of others. I certainly think Peterson was humbled by what he went through. Any perceived ‘bleakness’ of perspective I think was in evidence long before his illness and …I suggest .. rooted in empirical evidence. To characterise him as negative is I suggest, to see only one half of the coin.
