1. I didn't know "concern troll" is a thing

It seems very apt in this case.

I watched Peterson's debate with Matt Dillahunty. It's worth watching. Peterson relied on a different tactic than "concern trolling". He's very well read in subjects that support his theistic worldview and has a formidable memory for the material. So his response to most challenges was to parrot unfalsifiable metaphysical concepts from these books, basically pettifogging. He didn't really connect any dots in a logical way. Dillahunty is the master of epistemology and was able to dispatch Peterson by connecting his dots and blowing up Peterson's dots.

3. It's real. They get caught and finally spit out their real aganda, get alerted on, hidden and nuked.

2. Peterson is an expert in psychology.

He can probably debate psychology with anyone. It is amazing to me that, being a legitimate expert in one field, he pretends to have expertise in other fields where he has none. He should have the awareness of what it took to master his field and that someone without that expertise can't challenge his knowledge. Yet Peterson publicly pretends to expertise in fields where he couldn't qualify as a novice and turns himself into a clown - granted, a rich clown.

4. Sort of like contact expertise: "my brother is an engineer and there's no way airliners could ...

... bring down the WTC!"

5. Exactly and he isn't wise enough to know the limits of his own knowledge.

The field of psychology is itself a very broad domain and having expertise in one area, for instance clinical psychology, doesn't confer expertise in other areas, for instance, industrial-organizational psychology. I don't have issues with Peterson's academic journal publications but rather his works written for public consumption, which appear to deviate from the kind of rigor we expect in the behavioral and social sciences and instead rely more on Peterson's "intuition" and "ideals" about how things are and how they should be.

He is smart enough to know how to pull the rubes around by their noses and this too is not becoming of a scholar.
