When I first heard Jordan Peterson speak, I couldn’t figure out his appeal. In those moments, Peterson took on a tragic, almost gothic aspect. For others, it’s Jordan Peterson. For those who want to understand the true Jordan Peterson, flaws and all, I recommend the above-referenced documentary, “The Rise of Jordan Peterson,” which was produced by the Toronto-based husband-and-wife team of Patricia Marcoccia and Maziar Ghaderi (whom I recently interviewed for the Quillette podcast). Whatever you think about his academic ideas, he is clearly helping people make sense of the world.
