Jordan Bernt Peterson (born June 12, 1962) is a Canadian clinical psychologist and a retired professor of psychology at University of Toronto. He studies abnormal, social, and personality psychology. He is interested in the psychology of religious and ideological belief. His views are generally described as conservative.[dubious ]
Views
Peterson criticises political correctness, Marxism, and postmodernism. He said:
Most of the global warming posturing is a masquerade for anti-capitalists to have a go at the Western patriarchy. That’s partly why the climate change thing for me is a contentious issue because you can’t trust the players." However, he believes climate change to be an issue.
When interviewing young American conservative figure Brett Cooper, Peterson claimed:
The Left ‒ especially the radical types ‒ will drop you in a moment if you say or do anything that is out of that ideological sake [sic] [. ...] they will cancel or exclude. That's part of the entanglement of the radical left with cluster B psychopathology, with narcissism, with psychopathy, with borderline personality disorder, with antisocial behavior. That's all [...] passive-aggressive behavior, because it doesn't involve fists but social exclusion ‒ a very effective form of punishment.

I read something by Carl Jung, at about this time, that helped me understand what I was experiencing. It was Jung who formulated the concept of persona: the mask that "feigned individuality." Adoption of such a mask, according to Jung, allowed each of us- and those around us - to believe that we were authentic. Jung said...
