I believe that Jordan Peterson's complaint that too many problems in modern society have been politicized is correct. Activists and social justice warriors want national, collective, legal, political, and bureaucratic solutions to all our problems.
Jordan disagrees. He suggests that the best way for most of us to make a difference is to improve ourselves first and individuals, before we feel qualified to tackle national problems.
Ironically, and indirectly, if most people got their personal lives in order, or even doing more, maverized, most national and global problems would dissolve, and that is the collective, political solution. What is now framed in political terms need to be framed as personal challenges to be overcome.
