Maybe for low IQ folks because he is the king of injecting opinion as fact. He popular with dumb people who have never taken a philosophy class.
He's the definition of a crackpot.
That's what they said about Galileo.
I don't even like him, but I also think Jordan Peterson has staying power

Seriously? He is neither important nor much of a thinker.
Not that poster but he is a beautiful writer.
He tries too hard to be Baldwin. He is not Baldwin. The over-wrought, faux belletristic style becomes grating after a while.

OP here. The latter.
I would say the ideas of these people are consumed by and influence the people more known in general. For a crude example, it would be the people who initially conceived of modern monetary theory rather than the politicians who espouse it.
Those people are probably the ones winning Nobel prizes in economics and such.
