At an appearance in Hungary, the moderator asked Jordan Peterson what was the source of his wisdom, and Jordan unexpectedly replied that terror was the source of his wisdom.
Jordan has studied deeply and widely the collectivist, murderous regimes of the 20th century, concluding that most of us would have been perpetrators of the evil committed by people living in Europe at that time, not heroes or protesters against the crimes of humanity going on.
The Bible is where it is written that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Jordan's interpretation as to the source of wisdom need not contradict this Biblical take. If one knows God, really knows and loves God, then one has delved deeply into the nature of all that exist, its good and bad, its beauty and ugliness. That is where wisdom originates.
