I'm not going to watch the interview now as I'm kind of watching something Peterson recommends.

I recently finished his book '12 Rules for Life'. A relative gave it to me and I initially recoiled because Peterson is known to be alternative Right and religious... I'm neither. I'm glad I did read it though, I find a lot of his philosophical thinking around reforming capitalism and how in this neoliberal world we search for our individual self's (self realization) through consumerism, quite captivating. There's no doubt that Peterson believes the Right overlaps the Left. For example, both, in these divided ideologies voice opposition to corporate power; both condemn our financial system and both are trying to find a moral compass.

There are a lot of things I don't agree with re his thinking but the way in which he thinks things out make for an inspirational read.
