Your response is a good example of you trying to avoid cognitive dissonance.
I get it.
I don't like it neither

Any serious philosophical discussion bumps up against the transcendent. The cynical 17 year old punk rocker insisting that God is an imaginary ghost in the sky used by the powerful to oppress the masses is the opposite of the evangelical true believer. But they’re on the same coin. Put the coexist sticker on your Prius and abide by it.
The Evangelical true believer is trying to legislate Evangelical Christianity's beliefs. Mike Pence is actually a thing.
The cynical 17 year old has a coexist sticker on their prius and doesn't want Intelligent Design in textbooks or Jeebus in Court decisions.
The 17 year old is a brick in the Illuminati pyramid or a scale on the eagle's talons.
The true believer is "In God We Trust" and is obsessed with the prevalence of Jewish people in US media. And behind the brick is the pizzagate basement, the WMD, and Hillary's emails.
I think it's weird how your Duffy's worry about the lefty riots they see on IG, but the crazy freedom caucus making policy at the highest level don't represent a threat.
This article is not completely supportive of the guy

Is Jordan Peterson the philosopher of the fake news era?
Jordan Peterson is now a right-wing darling for his views on everything from transgender people, the #MeToo movement and political correctness on campus. But he’s not saying anything new.

Me neither. And I try to adapt and change my thinking to reduce it. But at the end of the day, reality is a cognitive construct - an imperfect model of the universe in which we exist - and bound to contain some inconsistencies Oh well.
this makes you more of a philosopher than 95% of the names people dropped
in the favorite philosopher thread
Disagree.
God is not a necessary for the transcendent (and vice versa) and could be (probably has been) argued that the God of Xian evangelicals doesn't fit into the category of transcendent, since so many of them profess to experience it.
There are also those who would say that any discussion of God isn't serious philosophical discussion.
Nah, it doesn't. If you can make an utterance about it, it fits into some category.
Why not? Its a big universe. Very big. So big that there very well could be unicorns out there somewhere.I can't prove that Unicorns exist either.
So, wait and see?
Whatever floats your boat, man. But, IMHO, the most rational position would be to simply acknowledge that you don't know.
Definitely smart and cute. I've watched three of her videos and didn't finish one of em.
below the line comments are more instructive than the actual article.This article is not completely supportive of the guy

I didn't claim I have all the answers.
I just said it's proposterous to make up a fairytale because you don't have an answer.
“Peterson is not the leading public intellectual of our age… much of what he says is not terribly original.”
I agree with this.
Boot strapping is good.
But it can't fix everything

like this one? - "You worry about what may one day happen. Do you worry equally about what IS happening? The Neo-Marxist/postmodernist consensus in university humanities departments is spawning a generation of people who believe in a whole range of things, from identity politics, to ‘white privilege’ to anti-capitalism. These ideas all correlate strongly with past movements and modes of thinking which concluded in the totalitarianism and genocidal violence of communism."
I was more referring to the general tone and quantity of commentary in favour of Peterson.
Personally I think he's basically dispensing fortune cookie style self help slathered in neo-Jungian gobbledygook.
I can't find anything alt-right or fascist leaning in his views, although this excellent contra-Peterson review does detail the grounds for doing so.

Jordan Peterson & Fascist Mysticism | Pankaj Mishra
It is imperative to ask why and how this obscure Canadian academic, who insists that gender and class hierarchies are ordained by nature and validated by science, has suddenly come to be hailed as the West’s most influential public intellectual. Peterson rails against “softness,” arguing that...
