Jordan Peterson seems pretty useless overall. His climate change views seem to suggests he thinks he is a lot smarter than he is.



Peterson in interviews even says he is smarter than every interviewer (I've listened to a few of them). He just comes across as pretty conceited. Everyone has their areas of expertise, but the claim that you don't know anything but 'they' do comes across like a certain world leader.

I've never heard him say this. Can you direct me to one such interview? I'm not a huge Peterson fanboy, but neither do I think the man is the demon-being that he's sometimes portrayed as by many in the media.


One of the biggest problems Peterson seems to have, that stirs up his opponents the most, is their propensity to misquote or completely fabricate things that he has said or done.

I have seen quite a few of his interviews and never heard him say that he is smarter than the interviewer. So I think some citations are needed here.
