I'm wondering if Benny has read the book. He may well be brilliant in other areas, I don't know. I've only sampled a small amount of his work so far. But he wrote this book, and it's an abomination. I've also watched him weasel his way out of answering theistic questions, and of course the "free speech" debacle. I find him disingenuous.
Huh. This one I didn't actually watch. I suppose the "Jordan Peterson doesn't understand friendship" is a more shocking one than "Jordan Peterson doesn't understand lobsters." I guess I'm more intrigued by cephalopodic life than crustacean. Also, I love it that he seems to have latched onto the lobster, of all creatures, as his metaphor for his preferred view of people. Maybe something that actually has a spine would undermine his preferred worldview. Or how different the bonobo, the closest nonhuman relative to homo sapiens, and therefore might be more relevant to humans, actually is.
