Abstract
Part 1: Social (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2x7J...) Dr. R. Michael Fisher, Adjunct Faculty, Werklund School of Education, the University of Calgary, is a human potential consultant and artist, who recently founded The Fearology Institute. He has been interested in the study of conflict in education and social theories and practices, and focuses this video on how Peterson sees conflict and practices it. Fisher is both supportive of some partial truths and wisdom in the existential foundations of Peterson's work but is less in support of the pragmatic clinical (mechanical) exclusivity that is a trend toward ideologism. Fisher uses his A--D/ness aesthetic research and experience to illustrate many of his points. In summary, Fisher does not believe Peterson is a toxic ideologue of danger to society as some might see him. However, there is lots to be critical of the "ways" Peterson approaches conflict and thus ends up undermining his own mission to reduce suffering on the planet.
