Thanks for posting that. Remarkable interview. Peterson can get a little over-heated at times, but intellectually he just nails the identity politics/ SJW mindset and its psychological underpinning. I particularly liked this exchange:
Rogan:
"You're one of the first people that are sounding an alarm. That there's a real issue with controlling people. There's a real issue with controlling dialog, controlling the way people communicate. And that these ideologies, although seemingly innocuous, they can take you down very dangerous roads."
Peterson:
"Yes well, seemingly innocuous ideology. Those words do not go together. There are no innocuous ideologies. They're all forms of pathological oversimplification... The advantage to me being in ideologue is I can explain everything. I can feel morally superior. And I know who my enemies are."
