Fellow named Mark Hill comments on Peterson

for someone like myself who has little knowledge on the matter. was the author pretty accurate?
Cracked is primarily a comedy site, but they produce a lot of great serious content too. David Wong in particular writes some of the most intelligent and insightful pieces. His "Robin Williams, and why funny people kill themselves" from a few years back was spot on.

David Wong also famously wrote this article in 2012:

Which contains a lot of Petersonesque ideas, specifically the approach to self improvement of taking responsibility for yourself. It has the highest view count of any article on the website.
