I know he's not qualified. That much is obvious. But he certainly seems to believe that he's qualified.
It seems to me that nearly all other academics are very careful to distinguish between their public, professional opinions (within their narrow scope of expertise, typically expressed through academic paper writing) and their personal opinions (which they're of course entitled to hold, but are typically expressed primarily to friends and family in person or on private social media accounts). Obviously, that is not what Peterson is doing.
