I wish it was a longer interview. I would be really interested to know more in depth what he means when he says what he is doing likely won't end well. I hope they have him on again at some point to continue the discussion.

I have been out of the loop with this whole Pepe thing. I'm still not sure I get it and I have to wonder if Peterson doesn't struggle with that. After thinking on it, he said he doesn't think taking the picture was a mistake, but you could tell from his manner that he knows it isn't clear-cut. From the aspect of allowing one to surrender to happenstance and practice free-speech, there would be a high threshold for being in error, but he has to know now (if he didn't then), that this has negatively affected the perception people have of him and distracts from the point he says he was making. From that perspective, I would think it was a mistake.

I have watched a few videos from him and one thing he says I can really relate to and he touched on it in this interview. The fear of saying the "wrong thing" or something inappropriate. That little voice in our heads that tries to filter our thoughts through a lens of emotion that often leaves us saying things we don't really mean (whether it is filtered by positive or negative emotion). Just as anger isn't always the appropriate response, neither is kindness if you want true meaningful discussion and change.
