This is Jordan Peterson for the STABLE minded

[@dason5408]

@Bat Computer I guess what I meant was Peterson and Schuon both provide a psychological blueprint of religion but Schuon is much more complex and would have a smaller more sophisticated audience while Peterson would have mass appeal.

@Bat Computer I wouldn't call Jerry, Elaine and Kramer to be a bigger audience

The comparison would be valid if Peterson's perspective was valid, but Peterson's perspective is shot through with errors. Unfortunately Peterson's training in the modern discipline of psychology, and especially his fascination with Jung, seems to have fatally compromised his thinking in many respects.

@@Mike-md7op I think he's extremely overrated. I put him in the same category as Deepak Chopra.
