Reply to comment by ObscureMemes69420 in Anyone who’s read “12 rules for life” by JBP finds it so harsh and unforgiving? by newbalancewearer

I've watched several interviews with Peterson, and the most memorable thing about him is that he comes across as astonishingly incoherent and vaguely stupid.

Given that one of the Rules is 'be precise in your speech', it's noteworthy that getting JBP to give a definite answer to a question is like nailing jelly to a cloud.

'Dr. Peterson, are you a Christian?'

Most people would answer either yes or no.

So you havent read the book referenced by OP. Thanks for confirming.

This is my problem with people like you. You see an interview you dont like and just assume the worst without ever reading what he has to write. Sad really, that you lack the critical faculties necessary to distinguish between the man and his work.

Why read an advice book by someone you perceive as stupid?

I'm not the person you were initially responding to.
