I don't think there's gonna be any "fall". Peterson is very solid from the ideological point of view.

His main problem is that he's prone to depression and anxiety. Add to that all the personal attacks piling up in mainstream media and the wife having cancer, and he's far from being at his best. So he's likely to take it slow.

He was addicted to benzodiazapines which he was taking for his anxiety problems and was unable to come off them without experiencing severe side effects. So he went to Russia and was put into an induced coma for two weeks during which time he developed pneumonia. That was why he pretty much disappeared for the past year and now looks ten years older.

If a psychologist who is on Youtube advising people how to deal with anxiety while he was becoming addicted to a medication to treat anxiety that he must have known can be dangerous isn't a fall I don't know what is.

Abandoning benzos is quite hard, and some people may need help with that, but not to the point of threatening your life.

He didn't go to Russia because he was addicted to benzos. He went there because he had an extreme adverse physical reaction to benzos (which included pneumonia). That's rare and unfortunate, and unpredictable.

I don't see why.

Benzos are dangerous, that's true, but they're extremely effective too when dealing with anxiety problems. The prescription is considered correct in cases of severe anxiety that can't be treated with more harmless anxiolytics. You seem to suggest that this case, the prescription was incorrect. On what basis do you argue that?
