Yet, despite being insulted by a Hollywood A-lister, most people are likely not familiar with Peterson.The emotional moment for Peterson came during an appearance on Fox Nation's Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday.
Morgan had asked Peterson about the Don't Worry Darling director calling him the "pseudo-intellectual hero to the incel community" in Interview magazine, and Peterson responded by tearing up and saying, "You know people have been after me for a long time because I've been speaking to disaffected young men."Peterson is a media personality known for his conservative views on issues, but he once was simply known as a clinical psychologist and a professor.
After time spent as an assistant and associate professor at Harvard University—where he published several influential papers on familial alcoholism and other issues—the Canadian returned to his home country with a position at the University of Toronto.Peterson soon stood out for his books, writing the bestsellers Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life and 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.
His public stature began to grow as a result, and Peterson was soon a well-known intellectual.He became recognized outside the intellectual community due to his controversial views on transgender rights, which he laid out in a series of YouTube videos in 2016.
