I believe Wittgenstein said as much in his later work.
I notice Dr Peterson has left comments in the comment section ( where else ) of the philosophers video post. worth a glance..

Got you. So, you quote a philosopher to dismiss philosophy in defense of a guy who tries to write philosophy and gets dunked on by actual philosophers. Well done.
And yes, I have seen JP's responses. Have you seen the responses to the response? Total shred fest, but you'd have to get it to get it.
As for your whining about being canceled, well, it's right on cue.
Sad to watch the real-time disintegration of intelligence due to algorithm victimhood.
My thought process is of the French ( a beautiful people ) and their talk of liberte, fraternite e egalite but when confronted by the Haitian exposition of that reality of true revolution, they fell short on all fonts.
Hi Ian
If I am walking down a path and I meet a man coming in the opposite direction looking like shit, and he tells me that the journey I am going on is futile,to turn back, that he is the voice of experience. If that man so happens to be Wittgenstein, then it is appropriate to paraphrase his warning about the futility of philosophy and take it on board. Common sense.
Anyway back to what is wokeness and to hell with philosophical nonsense..
All philosophical problems are either common sense or nonsense. Which brings us to the philosopher in the video posted, he is talking nonsense not common sense.
As for Peterson I guess the question might be, has he had a positive effect on people overall. Not whether he is philosophically or intellectually profound or right (no pun intended), but is there evidence that he has been useful in society. It would seem and I could be wrong that he has had a tremendously positive effect on many, primarily but not exclusively young men. He has put some common sense into them and not more philosophical nonsense, the infamous "tidy your room" mantra, go and do something useful and so on. Easy enough to do, if you were brought up in a good enough house hold, though these simple instructions are often sniggered at by self referential intelligent people.
