I wouldn't agree that my life would be any different if i encountered Jordan Peterson earlier. I mean, put your life in context. In my case, being 20 myself, i am hitting that age at which things like that become relevant to me and i actually have enough sense to think about stuff like that. Obviously if you are 50 it doesn't apply the same way to you, but the point is that, i think, some things he talks about are probably too complex ideas to be taken seriously by a 15 year old kid (high school kid). He would just ignore everything that is said to him. (I know i had completely ignored reading high quality books for grades in a high school. Now it's completely different story. Back then, they just didn't appeal to me and i guess it would be the same way with things like this.)
I am not saying education as it is right now is right, or that there is nothing we can do to improve, on contrary, there are some principles Jordan talks about that could be (and should be) thought earlier, but nothing too extreme i would say. What's mostly wrong with the education is the system of how they learn, not what they learn.
It's not that big of a deal, especially because a curious kid, who wants to hear things like that in first place and is willing to act them out, will find ideas like that on internet on his own. People who would find talks like that useful are actually finding them via internet. Including me, you and everyone else watching this. People who are not searching for videos like this are the one who wouldn't find intrinsic value in them even if they watched it.

It seems to me as all that amplifying could lose its worth once amplifying becomes too common. We are perhapse in the sweatspot, so to speak, where certain individuals have more impact than ever before, but it looks to me that that could go back to normal standards due to potential overflood of information.
For example, those terrorist attacks have had really big impact at the time when they weren't as common as they are now. At the moment, every few weeks something happens,. so we became sort of used to it, which directly makes their attacks less impactful.
What i am trying to say is that if everyone has access to media, and that way countless of people, it makes the content you say less impactful since you are just one of many. Another analogy that i could make is the one Peterson already mentioned (if i understoof him correctly), .. printing machine, when it came, the very first books that were printed were highly influencial since there were only few. Over time there have been so many that amplifying effect lowered down. it seems to me like that's the future of social medias. We are at the begining of it when impact is the highets... but you know, you never know.
