I highly doubt that and interestingly, I considered pondering in my OP whether or not Jordan Peterson's tendency to dabble in the outrage instead of just sticking to better-considered science and academic rigor is because
he is aware that it sells, and generates more book sales and TV gigs.
Sometimes he seems to have genuinely gone off-piste in his frustration, sometimes it feels unquestionably staged, and that tends to depend on the platform. When he's on an outrage-bait podcast or similar a lot more of the gradiose fist-pounding starts coming out. Treats for a less educated audience? When he debates other academics he's much more measured and generally quite well prepared with facts and figures so I'm guessing he's just aware that certain audiences don't need them, in fact don't like them, and are just a choir looking for some preaching.
