1. Yes this is interesting because Jordan Peterson recognizes that many people are suffering from problems that actually can be understood and addressed.

   One of the problems he describes is the problem of identity formation.
   He describes the importance of their child’s identity within the family, and how it is based upon understanding one’s place within the family as a contributor.

   Similarly the parents have possibly forgotten their own identity as a member of a family, community, religious or secular, member of a state, member of a country who contributes to and gives to those in his family to whom he loves, and gives to each of the other communities in which he is a member.

   And the hierarchy from the lowest to the highest is topped with one’s commitment to God. One’s identity comprises that hierarchy from God down through one’s country, state, community, and family in all of which one contributes as an expression of love and gratitude.

   The way he describes this starts with an example about his 2 year old son, and it describes the arc of manhood, adulthood, from being a 2 year old child.

   And he talks about all of this in such a way that it is very moving to hear.

   Jordan Peterson has a way of uniting a lot of people through understanding what makes us human.
