Jordan Peterson on creativity.
I can confirm that eating nothing but beef and then lapsing into a coma in Russia did not do much for my compositional productivity.
He was going through a very rough time, which would crush many people. Doctors gave him benzodiazepines to help him cope.
WE ALL go through very rough times. He chose drugs to cope not unlike any other addict. Prescription or illegal drugs are no different, in fact prescription drugs can be far WORSE!

I'm quite sure Dr Peterson would agree that anyone who seeks global fame with a book purporting to set out the rules for life is also a fair target for mockery.This is no joking issue.
Actually that statement is idiotic. Antidepressants have helped you ADAPT to a deadly situation. The REASON WE're depressed is because WE try to LIVE a LIFE away from LIFE, i.e., Sun/Light, Air, Water & Earth. The greater the degree of separation, the greater the depression...If it wasn't for antidepressants I'd be dead now.

To say that, means to me you haven't given the mechanics of depression much thought. That's my story and I'm sticking to it....That is a fantastically tone-deaf and ignorant take on depression.
If you can fill in the blank for the following sentence:
"Jordan Peterson DESTROYS _____ with FACTS and LOGIC"
You'll know exactly why it's impossible to discuss any topic that Jordan Peterson brings up without it becoming political.
The dude has a brand, it's the whole reason anyone even knows his name. I've just never encountered a Jordan Peterson thread that didn't devolve to political bashing.I don't like Peterson. Regardless, the genetic fallacy is never a reasonable tactic.
