To explain this, I would like to aim your attention to two concepts: literal and symbolic immortality. Many religions are built around the promise of literal immortality. This is also the reason for the success of religion, as it suppresses death anxiety. However, it's very clear from reading Jordan Peterson's work that he doesn't really believe in religion, and characterizes it as useful, rather than true. In other words, he doesn't really believe religion to be the source of literal immortality. So, what does he do? He goes for the next best thing: symbolic immortality. Everything in Jordan Peterson's body of work oozes the desire to be remembered forever. This is the real source of Peterson's pseudo intellectualism. All of this namedropping, all of this jargonistic nonsense, all of this advising people on virtually every area of human life, all of it has just one simple goal: so that after Peterson has died, he will be remembered as a great intellectual and praised for his heroic and insightful efforts until the end of time. Life as an immortality project is the key to understanding conservatism. Ultimately, conservatives are just obsessive control freaks not just satisfied with controlling the whole planet, but even extending the reach of their influence long after they've died. This comes with a problem: they have kids solely to pass on their 'legacy' (which is often conceptualized in a frightening way, as this iron genetic determinism, see the conservative obsession with fertility and women's 'eggs'), which means that these children become utterly imprisoned by their own history. Legacy becomes a burden, and everything in the life of a child is organized in such a way that a child may never carve out his or her own path. Effectively, the immortality project of types like Peterson is motivated by such a psychotic urge to control everything, that it has robbed future generations of their freedom to control their own destiny. They're never allowed to live their lives without Lobsterdaddy looking down to them from the sky and wagging his finger at those who deviate from his perfect path. For this reason, I firmly believe that the right to forget should be considered a universal human right and that conservative f-------- like Jordan Peterson should be penalized for infringing on this right
