Why the hate for wisdom?

[rva_jeremy]

This essay best explains why some find Peterson unpalatable. In short, he's an obscurantist who delights in saying a lot without really ever delivering any added insight. In this way he often comes out on top in conversations, not because he convinces the other party or anybody else, but because he never allows himself to be pinned down, and so his points can never really be challenged. Right wingers typically gravitate to this approach to ideas because it allows one to sneak in all sorts of untestable assumptions about reality that more or less map to "tradition". I personally find myself upset at the way he spins Jungian philosophy in pretty silly and unnuanced ways; as a leftist, it's hard enough to defend Jung from legitimate critiques of his fascist period.
