I've seen him a few times on these panel type shows without seeking him out
My view is that he make some reasonable points, though not necessarily argument winning ones, and some poor points. He's obviously an intelligent guy with an academic teaching background able to articulate his views cogently. Though he does fall back on his psych research when cornered, which is the most pissweak of all the sciences.
My main beef with hm is that they often seem to pair him with these histrionic non-academic doofuses, like some boxer who they set up against chumps. People who seem incapable of countering or even seeing when Peterson makes poor argument, and ones who go too far with their own, which Peterson, being an academic, is able to easily pick off.
Or they have him arguing against some proposition that few people, at least few reasonable people, are making.
So I think he picks easy fights, deliberately so, to build his profile among people who like watching videos with titles that start "peterson detroys...."

saw the first bit of brb's vid, though Im not going to wade through a 2 hour critical analysis of the fucker
some fair examples of "arguing against some proposition that few people, at least few reasonable people, are making". it's not exactly strawmanning, but it's close.
