I didn't even know he was here, but a lot has been written about it and what transpired during convo. From the sounds of it, it was pretty intense. Anyone here attend?

I have an agnostic friend who is a huge peterson fan. he said he watched it. He was intrigued that convo was a thing we had to do in college.

So he's a professor from another college we invited to speak at convo? Excuse my ignorance but I just spent the past 10 minutes reading about him and still don't understand why he's a big deal. Can someone provide extra context?

Long story short, he's used YouTube as a platform to confront political correctness in the education world. A Google and YouTube search ought to provide enough context for you.

Additionally he’s one of the best non religious modern philosophers out there. Think John Stuart Mill.

He's a lightning rod who is getting banned from speaking on many campuses in North America and Europe because he is counter to modern leftist thinking. For better or worse, he is a name at the moment.
