Thank you for your courage and openness to find the middle ground during a time where it's easy to believe that middle ground doesn't exist. As much as I've heard about Peterson, I've never taken any actual time to get close and listen. Thanks for doing this work and sharing it with us!
Thanks for the reflection. It might be brave to go undercover on the “other side”, but it is certainly brave to look in the mirror and ask the hard questions! Your thoughts make me think that our philosophies or anthropologies are “upstream” of our politics. That is, we can agree that gratitude and maturity are preferable to violence, even if we adopt different methods or belong to diverse groups. At some deep level, we have made the same value judgments, after which we could disagree about implementation details. Not to say that methods don’t matter, but it is heartening to find some agreement where we only expected to uncover a great rift.

Thank you for taking the time to read and to comment. I am slowly understanding that the search for common ground is what interests me in these times.
