Thanks so much for writing this Greenjack. I felt a similar deep disappointment when I saw that Peterson tweet.

Thank you for articulating your disillusionment of Peterson so well. It's similar to how I felt about Chomsky and Finkelstein when questioned about 9/11. It's a damn shame that all of these intellectuals we look up to can't practice what they preach when it comes to examining incredibly important societal shifting subjects and events. I just try to remind myself that they are human after all.

Yeah, but people don't remain cognitively the same forever. See Figure 1 of this paper: https://sci-hub.ru/10.1037/0882-7974.9.3.356 to see what I mean. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
