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.

When they are talking about gay parenting they kept missing the fact he was laying a framework that the children do best when they have the two separate models of parents defined by sex. So in a gay couple you'll more likely be missing one of those models.
