The book is full of right-wing crank as well.

I've never read it, but I've heard from some friends who tried reading 12 Rules that it's trash. One of them also tried to read his first book Maps of Meaning, and I'm not surprised that his attempt to be a serious thinker failed to make any kind of impact, hence his pivot into Quora self help slop.

Never read it either, but have heard some parts read out loud in some podcast, it's nonsense. It's just incoherent pseudo-intellectual drivel.

Peterson is like a prelude to the LLMs, a pseudo-science bullshit generator.

Oh, so ChatGPT is more qualified than somebody with a doctorate after all...
