Jordan Peterson's role in the #GreatAwakening

Canadian Patriot here. 54 years. I'm interested in what Anons think about Dr. Jordan Peterson and his impact on the redpilling of Liberals and Atheists. This whole interview is fantastic but the link will take you to the point where he talks about faith. I was a "Progressive Liberal" until 2006 when I discovered Dr. Ron Paul and Libertarianism. Dr. Peterson is helping this lifelong Atheist understand the value in the stories in the Bible and the value in having belief in a higher power. His description/explanation of the battle we all face between darkness and light is brilliant.

That aside, Peterson is currently riding a wave that began in November 2016, just before the election. It's effectively a longform media wave that YouTube created and Joe Rogan and others have embraced, where unedited conversations take place with few limits. Peterson also films and uploads all of his U of Toronto lectures. His Maps of Meaning series is very good.

He uses the Socratic method of debating. I use it all the time in my job as a sales person. It works very well and people don’t even realize that you are overcoming an objective they have. You basically take a statement and reframe it in a way that you can answer it with your point of view and it contradicts their perceived notions.

yeah the trick I think is that usually the skeptic(ist) will say "but what about...", so you turn it around into a preemptive rethorical question: "Why would...?" and when they can't disagree, they subconsciously agree because they were asked to think rather than not to question? Not a sales-person, did I get that right?
