A bit late to the party, but I'd like to second Steve's comment about not being too harsh on your earlier work. I agree that you've improved, but I've also watched (okay strictly speaking, listened to) this video several times. I never had trouble getting your point about how Peterson is wrong, and I thought the sarcasm about people's being affected by their environment as a brand new idea was obvious (and funny). And if the video gets a little dry around the 2/3 mark, that's in part because informative videos have to employ these pesky, often unexciting things called "facts". Sure, you could blather on about Jung and the collective unconscious, but I for one prefer boring old "actual data".

Also, I'd love to see a commentary on your "Was Hitler a Socialist?" video. Yes, you must be sick of having to talk about Nazis, but this particular bit of nonsense has been a pet peeve of mine for years. In 2013 I gave a lecture on Nazism, in which I said that just because the party had the word "socialist" in its name, that doesn't mean it was actually socialist, just as in the case of the totally non-democratic Democratic People's Republic of Korea. At the end of the semester I received feedback from a student stating that the Nazis must have been socialist because they called themselves socialist(!). This idea just never dies.

Yes this "national SOCIALISM" idea seems to be endlessly recycled by ignoranuses who want to scare voters off socialist or even social democrat politicians. As you say, the Nazis were about as "socialist" as North Korea is democratic. And note that the Nazis murdered prominent German socialists like Gregor Strasser during the "Night of the Long Knives".
