Why Do People Misinterpret Jordan Peterson?

Jordan Peterson might be the most misrepresented intellectual in the world. But why? Of course bad faith has a lot to do with it, but even those who attempt to analyze his work in good faith often make a few critical, but avoidable, mistakes. These mistakes flow from a lack of understanding with respect to two primary concepts: Peterson's resonance with the philosophy of Pragmatism, and the bottoms-up problem-solving approach he's inherited from the field of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
