Why do we elect a person, be it a drama teacher, real estate developer, business owner or community organizer, and then care excessively about what they say? We have legions of experts who study things for their whole lives and could communicate directly to the public. Instead of us arguing about what some politician said…

47) Jordan Peterson, Part 3: The Bucko Mistake; Sub-section 2: Metaphorically Terrible Advice
Second, the metaphoric. Posture-straightening aside, Jordan’s Rule #1 is obviously about so much more — it’s about being Alpha, not beta. It’s about facing the terrible existential burden of life, accepting your individual responsibility, and applying yourself to the challenges in front of you. It’s about entering situations with confidence, with a can-do mentality. I…
46) Jordan Peterson: Part 3: The Bucko Mistake; Sub-section 1: Literally Terrible Advice
(from https://www.reddit.com/r/Jordan_Peterson_Memes/comments/5ywcxt/sort_yourself_out_bucko/) Jordan pulls no punches in his public statements, calling entire university departments illegitimate and advocating for their de-funding, calling people who espouse “Leftist” or “socialist” views intellectually naive, subscribers to a murderous ideology, malevolent. blah blah blah I imagine Jordan should expect people to pull no punches in return. So…okay…. Jordan’s book, 12 Rules…
45) Jordan Peterson, Part 2: More problems…; Sub-section 3: Issues of Scale
I think it is a mistake that has not been sufficiently pointed out, to assume that the Dominance system is responsible for our successful adaptation in the first place! (I think it’s also a mistake to assume that the Dominance system came first; but that’s a whole different topic, and unimportant here; we’re pursuing the…
44) Jordan Peterson, Part 2: More problems…; Subsection 2: Bear Food reasoning in Darwinian/Functionalist clothing
Accusing Jordan of Bear Food reasoning is, I admit, a Straw Man attack if it’s taken superficially. I mean, c’mon, you’ve watched the YouTube videos; Jordan DESTROYS weak Leftie arguments with ease…. He is way too smart to build so much of his thinking on top of such elemental errors in reasoning, logic flaws that…
43) Jordan Peterson, Part 2: More Problems with Fundamental Assumptions; Sub-section 1: The Naturalistic Fallacy
— from — https://www.google.ca/search?q=running+away+from+a+bear&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjtjd6Ng_LdAhVk2oMKHUJxDOsQ_AUIDigB&biw=1422&bih=780#imgrc=WH65B9lCNXoMQM: Sub-section 1: The Naturalistic Fallacy I get a kick out of the old joke — How fast do you need to run in order to outrun a bear? …. You know, faster than the other guy….. …………… The weird thing about getting eaten by bears is that it IS totally natural,…
