Pretty sure he didn't say that. He probably said something along those lines, and then you took it out of context.
He was prescribed those drugs by his physician. His wife had cancer. He became dependent on the drugs (which many do), and he wanted off (which many never manage), so he went to rehab for them, under medical supervision, because withdrawal from benzodiazepines is dangerous.
I don't believe he continued to give advice during this time.

In today's world many men (and women) aren't taught the most basic things about how to get their shit together and deal with hardship so for such people Peterson becomes a much needed lifeline. It's not that he's great it's that the the standard is so low he seems great by comparison.

I respected advice from him before his drug addiction because he spoke like a man who had fucked up in life before and not taken it trivially nor forgotten about it.

I will still respect advice from him now because I've seen him stumble and right the ship again and not lose any character or self-belief in the process.

The whole idea of "getting your shit together" comes from a place of not having it together. Nothing about him spoke to me as a guy who was always perfect.

You're 100% missing out on the value of this type of dialogue with this type of person.

Peterson's stuff before he was famous was interesting and that interview with that British woman "do you're trying to say we should be lobsters?" was one of the top TV moments in recent years.

But once he got catapulted into the role of public intellectual he started to utter opinions on everything (as is the function of that role) and it went downhill fast.

He wasn't equipped to handle his success, which in my opinion indeed puts into question the wisdom of a lot of his self help advice.

His old lecture videos and seething attack on Canadian trans pronoun laws remain very entertaining.

Zizek is the epitome of "Don't use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent word will do." His philosophy is incredibly similar to Peterson's, which was shown during their "debate" where they just ended up agreeing with eachother constantly.

The reason why they ended up agreeing with each other is because Zizek is a nice guy to almost everyone, and its in the nature of his approach to dialectics that he's able to find points of agreement with people across the political/economic spectrum. Zizek didn't win the debate, Peterson was just a little out of his depth and Zizek merely pawed at him rather than clawing at his jugular. He even jests about being "gentle" with him. That's why it was only rape, and not full-blown slaughter.

Zizek is only worth reading if you want to look through the world through a psychoanalytic (Freudian / sexual) and communistic (economically / power theory) lens. Is it fun to watch him describe the matrix in this way? Kind of. Does he mean he's at all correct in his axioms and assertions? No. Mostly he's just a social critic whose only solutions involve some combination of saying the words "system," "Lacan," and "sniff" with no explanation.

Peterson doesn't criticize the world. In fact, he's usually supportive of the current institutional powers. So, I think he's a very good example of what he wants other people to do. I don't like the guy, but this criticism just seems excessive.

I looked into this.

Actually he was on 1-2, maybe 4mg (it's unclear) a day of k-pins. He experienced withdrawal symptoms because, as he knows being a fucking clinical psychologist, benzos are fucking horrific long term and severely addictive. He then, instead of withdrawing like literally everyone else, travelled to fucking russia to get himself put into a coma for a week straight, because he literally couldn't deal with the withdrawals.

Why anyone would think taking benzos would be a healthy way to deal with grief is beyond me, and even worse still is we've known since the fucking 50's just how bad and dangerous benzos are, so seeing him become addicted to them is just ridiculous.

And personally I cold turkeyed a 4mg a day clonazepam habit and it sucked shit, but nowhere near bad enough to consider going to fucking russia and being put in a coma lol. I doubt anyone has even got seizures off this dose.

Of course its bad his wife died and bla bla bla but his whole schtick is sort your shit out be a man etc, and he basically bitched out and couldn't deal with something literally millions of people have gone through and been fine (benzo withdrawal).

You're acting as if a person's only flaws come from culture and the expectations culture renders on people. People are quite fucked up, narcissistic, and have little to offer almost wholly independent of that. At least asking them to curate a little dominion over their personal surroundings can offset that a little, lest you become a screaming troon shouting into the void on Twitter (harmless in itself, but put hundreds together and all of a sudden they're an unbearable 'movement.')
