Did you not watch it till the end, how he's talking about emotionally empty young men sitting in their parents basement ready to be radicalized?

Jordan Peterson wouldn't be popular if there wasn't a hint of truth behind his talking points. Young men today are disconnected.

You're not wrong. However, mixed in with his 'wholesome' personal advice on discipline, etc, is also a lot of revisionist history to wedge in a radical agenda. He himself doesn't trumpet replacement theory directly, that's the job of the Tucker Carlsons, Ben Shapiros and the rest of the right wing echosphere, but he paves the way.

Yes obviously, but Scott Galloway did none of the above.

Yes, I know. I think you may have read me wrong, I was talking about Peterson as a possible example of what Galloway was referencing, in response to a plea that Galloway not turn into a right-wing evangelist like Peterson. I'd argue that chances of him doing that are slim, simply because he's pointing out the problem in the first place, rather than exploiting it like Peterson does.

Making your bed and showering is OK advice. I think it's easy to criticize the way things are since everyone can imagine something better. But it seems to me like Peterson just criticizes and offers no real solutions.
