I remember when he slowly started gaining his following through his recordings of his psychology lectures and now he's gone Oprah Winfrey level mainstream. Good for him.

I don't take seriously anything Jordan "atheists are actually believers" Peterson says.  ::)
Spatial distortion is a serious problem deteriorating headphone listening.
Crossfeeders reduce spatial distortion and make the sound more natural
and less tiresome in headphone listening.

This is the same idiot who said that inequality in society is good because stars are bigger than planets.

The idiot is anyone who takes out of context quotes seriously. You really do lack the least smidgeon of intellectual honesty.

Too bad.  The internet brought him instant popularity.

I'd reply to the first sentence, but based on this one, it's obvious you don't want me to.

I remember being surprised when my kindergarten teacher told us we all had accents. I didn't dismiss her as a fool; should I have?

Peterson is making a serious point about patterns of the mind and social organization. Lots of atheists do see to behave like religious sects at times. Now Peterson might be overselling this point, or mistaken, but he isn't obviously ridiculous. He has an argument behind that, which by your own admission you didn't seek out.  Your comment reminds me of the guy I saw mocking Proudhon's quip that "Propert is theft". He chose not to think about it.

J. Peterson just visited Finland last Sunday. I think he's in Sweden now...
