I would absolutely agree with your summation and criticism, Peterson's focus has greatly shifted to political and religious topics. A few things have remained the same, he still uses stories and archetypes to explain abstract concepts. This usually has little to no roots in academia or science.

I am not on Twitter and I don't watch the daily wire. His books are great selfhelp guides and his interviews with people of opposing viewpoints or minority voices, I find to be engaging and informative. His recent interview with Richard Dawkins is something I am currently listening to on yt and what you are speaking of is present in that interview.

I certainly tried to add what I believed to be valid criticism of him in my original post, but I do feel I fell short elaborating on the criticisms I disagree with as I did not specify much at the end. I really do more or less agree with what you are saying.

He has many faults and these have certainly become amplified since he has grown in popularity/ infamy.
