Peterson - The Ascetic Priest of Nietzsche's 12 Rules for Life

In 12 rules for life, Peterson urges people to adopt an ascetic lifestyle in the form of mutated Christian conservatism. This stands diametrically opposed to Nietzsche's central claim in the genealogy morality that the ascetic ideal is not something to strive for. The task of intellectuals should not be to inject arbitrary rules and regulations into people, but rather to foster perspective," he says.
