Peterson is a quack, but Attia usually isn't (except when he is ... a strange fish, IMO).
 
I wouldn't trust any YouTube company, even if they have interesting information, they usually say what we want to hear.

Is he?

I'm not one for appeals to authority but as he was a Professor of Psychology at a major university in Canada I'm not convinced that he is a "quack".

Another sad example of an academic going on the grift.

He's been removed from that position for a while, and has also had his licence to practice psychology withdrawn.

Have no interest in these Internet drs whatsoever, by comments above this one sounds dodgy anyway.

Jordan Peterson is a grifter that rose to prominence in the wake of the alt-right and Trump, as he provides pseudo-intelectual justifications for the followers of those.

He is a Dr in the same way I am, i.e., he has a PhD, but he is not a medical doctor. His BSc is in political science, and his PhD in psychology, so he has no background in biological or medical sciences that would give him any standing beyond that of any of us to talk about the stuff he talks in the video.

He's been disciplined more than once by the professional body that regulates clinical psychology practice in Ontario. He left the University of Toronto under a cloud and it is telling that his current position is at an unacredited institution.

I know about Peterson for many reasons, none of them good.

Thank you for that @Carlos. A bit of real insight is more valuable than all the videos on youtube.
