Again, Webster's
Predicated: something that is affirmed or denied of the subject in a proposition in logic
The common use of the word "predicated", as he seems to intend its use here, could be phrased as "action based on (usually unverified) assumption". i.e. The war in Iraq was predicated upon Israeli "intelligence" reports of the presence of weapons of mass destruction.
MED, again, opts for a word with more syllables, a word which is a quite specific synonym for the word "based".
Was it careless, or was there a reason behind it?

I'm so disappointed in the quality of debate which these heralded 'intellectuals' took part in. I got about half way through the source video on Peterson's youtube channel before closing it in disgust. There seems to be little debate actually occurring, instead we're just sitting here watching 4 people with inflated egos go on about trivial semantics in regards to what defines identity, directing their tirades to no one in particular. Certainly their rhetoric was rarely directed to one another, outside of shameless ad hominem, and they seem more to be talking out their own independent thoughts on the matter than they were actually talking with each other.
What's else is the pathetic sham of 'right' wing which was brought out to parade in front of the masses. It reeks of bread & games for the those just smart enough to know who Marx is and who once read the introductory wiki paragraph on what constituted philosophy. We've got a centre left, Jewish, homosexual and an individualist, anti-nationalist. Somehow the latter still gets plastered as a misogynist, far right extremist and even (comically) a nazi. I'm astonished by the pathetic level of discourse which defines modern political conversation.
The CIGI Persons
There are a number of CIGI persons connected to the University of Toronto, which is the same university Jordan Peterson teaches at:
The president of CIGI, Rohinton P. Medhora, “received his doctorate in economics in 1988 from the University of Toronto, where he also subsequently taught for a number of years. In addition to his Ph.D., Rohinton earned his B.A. and M.A. at the University of Toronto, where he majored in economics.”

Sarah Burch, a senior fellow with CIGI’s Global Economy Program, had her most recent book (entitled Understanding Climate Change: Science, Policy and Practice) published by University of Toronto Press, 2014.

Joël Blit, a CIGI senior fellow, “holds a Ph.D. in international economics from the University of Toronto, an M.A. in economics from the University of Western Ontario, an M.B.A. from INSEAD, an M.Sc. in computer engineering from the University of Waterloo and a B.Sc. in engineering science from the University of Toronto.”

John Borrows, a senior fellow with CIGI’s International Law Research Program, was a professor in the faculty of law at the University of Toronto. “John’s publications include Recovering Canada: The Resurgence of Indigenous Law; Canada’s Indigenous Constitution; Freedom and Indigenous Constitutionalism; and Drawing Out Law: A Spirit’s Guide, all from the University of Toronto Press. He holds a B.A. in political science and history, an M.A. in geography, and a J.D. and an LL.M. from the University of Toronto.”

Andrew Clement, a University of Toronto professor, is also listed on the ‘person’ page; however, there is no info whatsoever about what he has to do with CIGI. This is all we’re given: Andrew Clement is professor emeritus in the Faculty of Information at the University of Toronto, where he coordinates the Information Policy Research Program and co-founded the Identity Privacy and Security Institute. With a Ph.D. in computer science, he has had long-standing research and teaching interests in the social implications of information/communication technologies and participatory design. Among his recent privacy/surveillance research projects is IXmaps.ca, an internet mapping tool that helps make more visible NSA mass internet surveillance activities and the routing of Canadian personal data through them.

It’s highly likely that Clement and Peterson know each other quite well.
I think what he means is
God, I hate having to read shitty homework.
So, if it's controversial, then debate it. MED doesn't lay out the reasons why this is controversial. Is it controversial to argue for a white man's equal representation at their table? Is it because a significant challenge to that idea has been presented?
I felt the same no one actually wants to get to the meat and potatoes of the argument they just sit their spouting talking points at each other. The idea that JP is right wing or even a National Socialist is fucking laughable and the black idiot spouting shit off about race is just resentful of whites wanting their own self determination.
I believe at this point that it's all NWO optics propaganda to bolster Peterson's position as edgy intellectual for the young men. There's no way all his growth has been organic, at least.
Those who have accomplished something as individuals feel no need to be proud of their race.

Real cultural appropriation – that's when someone is proud of his culture despite having done nothing to support it, extend it or transform it: a message to the far right.
- Jordan Peterson
You shouldn't be "proud" of your culture: you should be honored by the privilege of partaking in it, and grateful for its existence, despite your inadequacy. That is not at all the same thing.
- Jordan Peterson
Q: What's the goal of the radical right? A: Unearned identity with the glories of the past.
- Jordan Peterson
Now the right-wing identitarians have their panties in a knot about what I've said about the pathology of racial pride…. Demonstrating (as if it is necessary) that the mirror reflection of malevolence is also…. malevolence.
