I just found it refreshing that a "political type" could actually understand basic concepts such as using early treatment, abandoning disaster plans developed over decades, the risks of an untested 'treatment', the C19 measures being ineffective and disproportionate, etc.
I thought that politicians were physically incapable of grasping these ideas, but this interview confirms that they have just been faking stupid all along.
But if you actually took the time to listen, you would realize that JP is interviewing Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland AND the last living signatory to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Jordan Peterson is not an ideologue. This is what scares the left. If someone gave a sound argument to Jordan Peterson in a real time debate, he would alter his point and give the reason almost immediately to why he is altering his view. Most people in debates are so caught up in their own view they can't do it. the reason for this is that Jordan Peterson is trying to get to a base truth and his opponents are not. The net result is that Jordan Peterson wins most debates and when he loses a debate which is rare, he usually has decided that the view he had is wrong not that the person was better at debate

A philosopher, not a political type.

That's about as political typey as you can get!

Got it! I was focused on Peterson's name.
A psychologist, not a philosopher.
His talks on post-modernism led me to believe otherwise. Thanks for the correction.
To be fair I think he stated he studied political science and psychology.
