Bad Apologetics: Jordan B. Peterson

I finally got through a 10 hour podcast of 3 people slowly disecting mr. Petersons' talking points. And I have to say it was extremely intresting to go beyond the clipped content from people whoes only goal is to make him look bad. Altough all the people on the panel agree that the man does have something to say, they also all agree there is an extreme problem with all his opinions that are not directly related to his field of expertise.

For those that want to take the time and are intrested, you can find it here:

When it comes to certain toppics, I can't help to think that these are great examples for Albert O. Hirshmans' book called: "The Rhetoric of Reaction". Espescially Petersons' vieuws on climate change, where things are just too complex to solve and therefor it's futile to try, can be directly linked to the chapter on "Futility" that Hirschmans' described. Also how Peterson tackles a toppics like pornograhpy, can be a school example of the chapter on "Perversion".

For those people that it's not clear what the man is doing, this is a pretty intresting watch/listen. For those that already figured out that this person is insconsistent and ideologically driven on almost every toppic except some parts where he actually is an expert on, well... this 10 hour wild ride is a goldmine to understanding how weird it really is.

@revenant The man is advocating and giving advice... that means that he's open for criticism. If he can't handle criticsm, he shouldn't be on an open platform he should start a cult.

@revenant It's quite amazing how eager you are to protect someone that is just saying things that can't be verrified OR are objectively not true. But maybe in your mind, this enriches society in some weird way.

And if the uncle and everyman can't handle criticism and they want to advocate for things and inform millions of people without any scrutiny, yes then they are starting a cult.

@Kwek00 amazing how fed up I am with it all lol. Oh you want to be all rational and all that do you ?

@revenant If you are fed up with, then don't follow or complain on threads that talk about toppics you are fed up with. Do something else with your free time, no one is telling you that you have to be here.

I would love to be as rational as possible, yes. That's kind of the target to strive towards. I find it strange that this has to be put in a question, as if its a ludicrous thing to do.
