“Stupid man’s smart person” is not inaccurate, either. He knows who he is best received by.

It's a garbage hack piece that skips discussion of ideas and just tries to slander the subject. If that article is your definition of the embodiment of 'having a lot of meat' it speaks more about you than it does about Peterson. At no point is there an honest discussion of ideas or combative arguments proving his viewpoints wrong. Just various slanderous ways of saying 'If you were educated correctly, you would clearly see how this is all wrong'

To be clear, Jordan Peterson is not a neo-Nazi, but there’s a reason he’s as popular as he is on the alt-right. You’ll never hear him use the phrase “We must secure a future for our white children”; what you will hear him say is that, while there does appear to be a causal relationship between empowering women and economic growth, we have to consider whether this is good for society, “‘’cause the birth rate is plummeting.”

He also gives book recommendations apparently drawn from a high-school English-class reading list. If somehow you missed them, Mistress Peterson is the portal to such obscure works as Animal Farm, Of Mice and Men, and that cornerstone of the Western canon, Flowers for Algernon.
