Granted, and I’m glad mental health issues are being dealt with in a serious way.
I was somewhat surprised that Russell lost. He is exceptionally intelligent and knowledgeable. For all of his goofing around and comedy he is well read and extremely sharp. He is affable and well liked by many for his comedy routines even though he goes into coarse/adult subject matter often.
Jordan Peterson is smart...no doubt about it. He is outspoken and a voice of reason in an age when illogical arguments are quoted and repeated ad nauseum. But he isn't very entertaining or fun to listen to. He is never light or comedic in his statements. He is of course truthful and able to cut into the heart of the matter. Just dark and serious all the time.
The pair set-up into a discussion and debate was a good one. One of the best I've seen in a long time. Both came armed to a battle of wits. Better than any political debate thought about being because politicians are liars and have no respect for anyone except themselves.
