Hi David, thanks for commenting. Can you explain why you might think that Peterson has a legitimate claim to any 'thoughtful rebellion'? Out of interest, what exactly do you think he thinks he might be 'rebelling' against?

It started with opposing compelled speech, something our "progressive"-dominated federal government imagined to be a good thing. He began to see a hunger for guidance in effective living and making moral choices, a hunger that was especially apparent in young men perplexed and disheartened by a society that too often regarded them as inherently problematic. As he began speaking outside his normal university lectures, he soon found a growing audience, further strengthened after the publication of '12 Rules for Life'.

Considering that he was in Canada's socialist party when a young man, being called a conservative now certainly suggests rebellion against and rejection of socialist dogma (as well as a shift in the political spectrum).

Peterson is a deep thinker well-versed in what psychology research has learned about human nature, which he frequently references in challenging ill-founded notions.

Still waiting for an answer to my question, in light of the evidence we have summarised about the ARC claims. ?
