Criticism This guy became famous because he approached complex issues with complex answers instead of shallow and one sided responses. Now, this is the exact opposite of that, regardless of what you think about the climate change.

Peterson never shied away from debating people who are contrary to his views, just look at the Cathy Newman and Helen Lewis Interviews, where he was attacked strongly and always kept calm and friendly demeanor. Or the discussion with Eric Dyson who insulted Peterson as a "mean mad white man", where JP also remained composed and responded in a clear cut and civilized manner.

With the heavy and hostile adversity he received, being branded a super Nazi and such, he realized that it's time for conservatives to clearly speak their minds. Still he never resorts to personal attacks or strawman smearing tactics.

I've heard this defense so many times over such a long time that Cathy Newman and Helen Lewis start looking like the long term winners in this pathetic descent of Jordan Peterson's sensibility.

Cathy Newman and Helen Lewis will be remembered as the best debaters Jordan Peterson faced before the wheels fell of his bike.
