ME TOO! by Mischief Shai-hulud 06/06/2018, 8:43pm PDT
The Michael Brooks Show (Sam Seder's cohost), during the part where he's talking with Felix Biederman at 1:29:45


And mind you, the snakes=DNA thing isn't the only example of Peterson engaging in pseudoscience to back up his social darwinist philosophy, it was just so jaw-droppingly stupid I couldn't let it go without comment. The lobster thing's pretty stupid as well, but it would require more work than just yelling, "IT'S WHAT SNAKES LOOK LIKE WHEN THEY FUCK!" I'm sure Deepak Chopra has some excellent life advice for the self-help inclined, but you aren't going to find a lot of physicists singing his praises because of the pseudoscientific abuse he puts quantum theory through to back up his own brand of woo.

As for why I think Peterson is right-wing, it's from the whole inciting event of his celebrity. Not necessarily his transphobic freakout over C-16 itself, the part that came after. When his colleague Brenda Cossman, who's an actual professor of Canadian law, explained to Peterson that his interpretation of C-16 was wrong and even did a public debate with him about it, but Peterson did not follow his own rule 9 (Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't) but persisted with being a very public drama queen over the issue. To me that says he has a political agenda and/or had already clued into the fact that this could be a very profitable grift and he wasn't going to let a few pesky "facts" get in the way of his new meal ticket.
