His discussion about postmodernist thinking and the rejection of god seems a bit superficial. I actually want to read more about the subject because it was interesting but not that in-depth

I hope this decision isn't because of a purist rationality rather than a belief in a transcendent reality, because one is better than the other apparently. Don't ask me why because I didn't get the answer from Peterson

So it's like, some people who act in seemingly rational ways (e.g. psychopaths) are bad people, therefore it is a bad value system

But isn't this whole line of argument an application of rationality? If anything doesn't that make the rationality argument pointless because every single judgement is rational, and therefore it may as well be called "being human"? Then it is a tautology: human values are rational because they are human

I suggest you actually read his book Maps of Meaning, because it talks a lot about the same topics as Nietzsche, and it's an interesting narrative too.

You can download the PDF for the book for free on Peterson's website.

That's great, thank you

It will be good to read something of his that is more focused. He tends to jump between tangents

Alex Kierkegaard lol
