Description
Jordan Peterson (12 June 1962) is a Canadian clinical psychologist and a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. His main areas of study are in abnormal, social, and personality psychology, with a particular interest in the psychology of religious and ideological belief and the assessment and improvement of personality and performance.
Peterson’s first book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief (1999), examined several academic fields to describe the structure of systems of beliefs and myths, their role in the regulation of emotion, creation of meaning, and several other topics such as motivation for genocide. His second book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, was published in January 2018.
In 2016, Peterson released a series of YouTube videos criticizing political correctness and the Canadian government’s Bill C-16, “An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code”. The act added “gender identity and expression” as a prohibited ground of discrimination, which Peterson characterised as an introduction of compelled speech into law.
Peterson’s 2018 earnest interview with Cathy Newman on Channel 4 News garnered millions of views and became a prime example of the failure of modern leftist ideologism. In his book, 12 Rules for Life, as well as during the interview with Newman, he referenced the similarity of the neurochemistry of lobsters and humans, in an attempt to refute the claim that hierarchical social orders are nothing but a social construct.
