Jordan Peterson, for all his insight into human nature and the threat posed by Marxism and controlled speech, is naive when it comes to current-day political issues.
He doesn't understand the degree to which ALL Western institutions have been corrupted. He doesn't understand the very present and immediate threat represented by those currently in power. Despite being the victim of slander and misrepresentation by the media himself, he still trusts much of what they say when it comes to topics he himself isn't intimately familiar with (I believe there was a term for this type of cognitive bias... not sure). Somehow he still cannot believe that Democrats and the Left are so corrupt that they'd stoop to rigging an election on a mass level, or that it's even possible even if they wanted to (showing his ignorance of the American electoral system). Likewise, he can't comprehend the mass manipulation and drive for power motivating the Covid narrative.
It's one thing to be wise and have insight related to psychology and human nature... it's a very different (and very frightening) thing to recognize the true nature of the battlefield that we're currently standing on.

Thank you! I was wracking by brain and couldn’t remember what it was called. :)
