RE: Introduction - A Word On Jordan Peterson - The Order of Chaos: An Antidote to Meaning

in #dsound7 years ago

I definitely want to see you keep writing about Peterson - and making videos about him too. I feel like you have made some progress towards figuring out what exactly is wrong with him, but you're not quite there yet in terms of being able to express it clearly. Basically as you put it "when I looked at the script a few days later with new eyes, I recognized that it was not nearly as strong as I wanted it to be, and I didn’t truly have any idea how to fix it or even a clue within my soul as to what exactly was wrong with it."

I'm a step or two behind you on this - I started off really liking him from the Newman interview, then started questioning a little bit because of some of his views on transgender people, then started questioning a bit more because of his views on religion, and now I'm at a point where I feel like he is a net positive, but I also don't want to be seen as being "on his side" per say.

I'm planning to write something about him on steemit when I have a chance to think it all over more, but I definitely think you are doing something important by criticising him. You talked about how you felt that religion was dead when you started attacking it, but I disagree completely. In fact, I think it still needs to be fought and that it would be great for you to revisit some of that stuff sometimes. And I think you did more work against SJWism than you let on too. But this, this would really be a place where you help set off a movement. I feel like you are still figuring it out a bit, but you are further along than a lot of people like me who are really just beginning to think about criticisms of Peterson. Keep it up.

Sort:  

"some of his views on transgender people" Do you mean transgender or transsexual? The latter tend to really dislike the former so... The latter being marked by disphoria, the former being an authoritarian fashion trend people chose to follow.
Transgender people also, like all progressives, tend to agree with Hitler on the most fundamental level, that is to say, privileged people are bad and the opressed cant be the opressor. I fear the jews and asians have a rough future with progressives and the alt-right agreeing on them as targets...
