He calls a spade a spade. There are parts of Jordan Peterson that speak truth. (I like that you address the elephant in the room - we can like some of him without liking all of him.)
+1! In a society that looks for what we don’t like in people, and then follows that with writing the whole person off, what you say is so utterly important Karena.
We can find some gold in EVERYONE, and then relate to the gold we discover. (And for those who don’t believe it’s everyone, I would counter with that’s their ego speaking 🙂)
As I reflect on the impact that my many "fathers" have had on me, it causes me to reflect on what I want to pass along myself. As you enter a phase of life where you are becoming a flesh and blood father yourself, not to mention a thought-father to others through your work, I'm curious what is the key perspective or wisdom you'd hope others might adopt and implement in their lives?

Interesting that this jumps out to you. I'd say even going into what we don't like about people is worth investigating.

Loved this piece Rik! I liked the analysis around role models, and how they change as we change.
Rik, this is fabulous. People rub off on people, which is one reason why what you express is so important.
The life you live is the lesson you teach.
Thank you for this vulnerable and wholehearted contribution to the world.
"We emulate the parts we admire in our heroes."
No one could have worded it better. Kudos Rik.

I'd have to think about the 'key' perspective but Jordan's point of responsibility and meaning is definitely up there.
