My once good friend and now acquaintance has spent a fair bit of time trying to get me to read Peterson's 12 step book. He lives by Peterson's word and absolutely defends his stance in these legal proceedings.

It sucks to see someone who I know is intelligent, throw it away like this.

    Oh, and remember, that some of Peterson's rise to fame was his claim to be taking a principled stand against compelled speech by arguing that a Canadian law would have compelled him to use specific pronouns in addressing people that he felt was a violation of his speech rights.

Is pretty much what I brought up in our most recent.. catch-up (saw him at the gym and he launched into a debate). Apparently they're different situations.
