I've been keenly following the debates between Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris recently, they've been good and both speakers have something interesting to contribute. Sam is famously atheistic and Peterson is famously theistic in outlook. Ultimately, my conclusion from many hours of viewing and reading is as per the picture above. Peterson simply doesn't make sense at too many critical points, although he is highly skilled at sounding confident enough in what he asserts such that a superficial skim leads you to believe there's depth where there really isn't, a mile wide but an inch deep as an old boss of mine used to say. However, this skill (gift of the gab) is highly sought after and valued in our society currently, so I expect Peterson will be the one that cashes in most successfully on fame out of the two of them.
