i'm in agreement with on him against equating questioning of the proposition that "gender is defined entirely by identity choice" as hate speech, that seem to be gaining increasing currency outside of the more loopy sociology departments, and in some other points as well. I try not let my personal feeling about him , that he's deliberately picking provocative positions to build a profile on the right rather than for academically honest reasons, or a prick a la katie hopkins, stop me judging each of his arguments on its merits. but it can be tough with his smug canadian face

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...."

Musk has done some wonderful things with the cars and rockets and so forth, unfortunately he's an utter dick.
Peterson has made some good points and has made more widely known some valid research which runs counter to what is basically an emotion driven agenda almost entirely disconnected from reality.
Unfortunately, he's also an utter dick, can't see when he's glaringly wrong, and when presented with a question he doesn't like the answer to, he'll waffle on about obscure psychological bollocks, or religion, until the time for that question is almost up and, then he'll end by questioning the person who asked the original question as to what they *exactly* mean by using a particular phrase at which point the host moves the discussion on.

An observer's subjective perception does not define (or, being charitable, fully define) objective reality. If you don't sense or measure the presence of the lion, it can still eat you, and if you don't know there's no ground beneath your feet, you will still fall down the hole.

On an individual level, the exact experience of falling down the hole will differ. Yes, they will still fall down the hole, with different results according to which individual falls, size, health, athleticism and many other factors.
Yes, in a simplified way there is an accepted 'objective reality', it's just different for everybody.

Objective reality is not different for everybody. What's unique to each observer is their own (subjective) perception.
Objective reality is not dependant on the observations of an ignorant life form that can't even observe or directly measure 99.999...% of their observable patch of universe. A black hole 28 billion light years away (which has no causal relationship with our observable bubble) is not even slightly affected by the musings of a flea.
Your subjective experience of reality has to be a subset of objective reality, that is to say, whatever you experience has a foundation in something greater, consisting of processes and states of being that we don't yet, or cannot understand.
Humans did not know about germs, bacteria, spores, etc, for a very long time. But our ignorance of these micro-organisms did nothing to protect us from them. The dinosaurs presumably knew nothing of asteroids, and their ignorance did not protect them. Our planet 'knows' nothing of gravity or mathematics, yet is bound by them.
Objective truths apply to you even if you are ignorant of them, even if your brain is incapable of acknowledging them, even if you have no brain.
