The above is just the most obvious of numerous words that Peterson uses when he speaks.
I have noticed this every time he does.
He uses larger/more, complicated alternatives of common words.
Now...I assume you Peterson lovers will claim - 'brilliant people speak this way'?
Wrong.
Here is the famous, theoretical physicist, Edward Teller - a STAGGERINGLY, brilliant man and 'the father of the hydrogen bomb'.
In the interview below - the speaks in ways that most people can understand.
Now, if he wanted, he could have used terms that almost, NO ONE on this board would 'get'.
But that would be pointless.
He knew this, so he didn't do it.
Plus? Think people?
How could brilliant professors teach their ignorant students if they laced their diatribes with words/phrases that the latter did not understand?
That would be ridiculous.
Even automotive 'technicians', sometimes 'dumb down' their conversations to their customers.
About the technical problems their vehicles are having.
Just so, said customers will understand them.
And I doubt most of them are as intelligent as Peterson claims to be.
Yet Peterson will not do this?
Thus, the conclusions about the reasons are obvious:
Either a) Peterson is so clueless, that he has no idea that most of his 'followers' do not know many of the terminologies he uses (which I doubt)?
b) Peterson is not smart enough to use 'common terminology' to explain more, complicated verbiage (I doubt that also)?
c) he is doing this deliberately to impress/intimidate his listeners.
Obviously, it is 'c'.
There is no other, logical reason.
Thus, he does not have the confidence in his words to speak 'plainly'.
He feels he must get people's respect?
Through the use of centuries old, con artists tricks.
And/or - he is just extremely insecure.
Neither bodes well.
Now, I realize, you Peterson lovers refuse to even consider that he is doing this.
So, save the excuses you pore out?
I ain't wasting my time reading the rambling's of closed-minded saps/incels about their 'professor'.
Good day.
You are straining soooo hard to come up with a complaint.
