According to Peterson, he watched the rise of political correctness on campuses since the early 1990s, and considers that the humanities have become corrupt, less reliant on science, and instead of "intelligent conversation, we are having an ideological conversation".
Promatrao je rast političke korektnosti na kampusima od ranih 90-ih, i smatra da su društvene znanosti (humanities) postale korumpirane, smanjujući oslonac na znanost, te da umjesto inteligentne imamo ideološku raspravu".
