i guess you might fall for it.....if youre a tiny little bug that eats dust.
and if you actually read my post instead of willfully misinterpreting you will see what my point actually was.
Nonsense; he's invalidated himself with his routine stupidity and obscene remarks (re: lobsters) that you've either chosen to ignore or shift the goalposts whenever one of them is repeatedly brought up.
I wish; I wouldn't be surprised if Andrew Scheer appoints him to the Senate were he to win the 2019 election (which he won't but still).
Yes but this can be solved if ppl would say "hey that wasn't cool" and then they'd apologize like a normal person.
I do believe that the vast majority of people know what sexual harassment is and that they also don't support and commit it. You don't have to hold special courses to teach people how to behave next to women because by that time you've been through school. Now of course there are still cases of harassment because some people never grow older than 12 years but courses for them won't do shit. Just look at the people defending not using a seat belt in that thread a while ago. I have no idea how they made it to adulthood but they won't simply listen just because you explain it to them. I actually think firing and suing them is a good solution.
Right, I don't think any of his non-obvious ideas would really hold up very well in rigorous debate either, and I'm hoping we see some of that in this upcoming thing I have seen pop up on my Facebook feed. Something about a 2 on 2 debate on free speech or something.
It was political correctness, not free speech:
I've actually read 12 rules for life. No, it's not particularly nuanced, it's pretty terribly written and Peterson constantly goes of on a tangent in the middle of "the rules" into things that are literally not connected in any way.
I just hit Peterson Bingo and my prize is to go watch Frozen.
I have read enough along with Maps Of Meaning to know they've got a lot of nuance to his pseudoscience shit.
Do you want to defend the nuance of the stuff he's done below?Closer examination, however, reveals Peterson's ageless insights as a typical, if not archetypal, product of our own times: right-wing pieties seductively mythologized for our current lost generations.
Yup, and people are falling for these myths and hearkening back to older times where equality wasn't a thing.
People call this Jordan Peterson dude a "liberal" when he spouts order = male, chaos = female Jungian stuff? Apart from his yearning that we don't follow religion as much anymore, he really loves the evopsych neuro pseudoscience.
These passages are from both of his books "Maps Of Meaning" and "The 12 Rules Of Life", of course he repeats his key points.
It always comes down to dating and lonely rejected men with conservative reactionaries.
Has Jordan Peterson done any PUA courses for the insecure white men that are his main audience?
I mean he is a doctor and professor of clinical psychology. I don't doubt that he really does know some things about self-help, therapy, psychological issues, etc. And that is attractive to a lot of people. He just also happens to love to talk about things he's really, really bad at, like politics, (postmodern) philosophy, the humanities (and whatever he thinks Marxism is), etc.
I'm waiting for Oversoul to explain the nuance of that statement, how it's taken out of context, go on about how that makes Jordan Peterson a liberal, and how "I seriously cannot comprehend how you can view this man as remotely extreme".
Seems like a pointless topic unless they strictly define what political correctness is. Will end up like his appearance with Sam Harris where he created his own definition of truth.
Yup. There's also the tactic of being vague, tangential, and ponderous so that criticisms can get swept aside as "that's not what was said", "that's out of context", and "they are just asking questions!"
