Earlier this year, an editorial in the New York Times suggested that a Canadian university professor named Jordan Peterson

might be, quote, the most influential public intellectual in the Western world right now.

You know, that's not my take, but he is profoundly influential.

Zach Beechham covers Jordan Peterson for Vox.

I am a senior correspondent.

Or I cover the world.

And part of the world is Jordan Peterson.

Correct. He is in on our earth.

This is somebody with an almost cult following, and I don't mean that in the sense of pejorative cult.

Yeah.

I mean, it more in the sense of like, I'm a big, buffy, the vampire slayer fan,
