Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?
RE: Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?
Quote:The thing is that in order to understand him, you have to listen a pretty long time.  The PC people get triggered by a few sentences, and this makes it very difficult for them to really absorb the full message.
Yeah no you really don't you can distill 99% of his word salad and none of it's great .One does not need to be a "PC " person to see that.


Quote:The full message is that much of our problem with sexuality is rooted in our evolution, that clothing and fashion behaviors are closely linked to sexuality, and that it's actually quite difficult to moderate sexual behavior without completely shutting it down in the style of Maoist communism.
Yeah that's bullocks even if clothing is tied to sexuality that does not excuse behaviors in a work environment and blaming evolution will not fly and making hyperbolic references to Maoism is nuts.

Quote:He also gave specific examples of corporate attempts to define harassment, things like no eye contact more than five seconds, which as a psychologist he finds laughable.
Pointing to the extreme example of Netflix does not help his case . FYI staring at someone in the eye even for 5 seconds can be sexual and even creepy depending on the circumstance .Eye contact is extremely powerful in some cultures staring someone the eye at all is an insult .

Quote:The problem from the left PC is that as soon as you don't just say "Of course everything's fine, and X should always be blamed completely for behaviors toward Y," you shut down dialogue and prevent getting ACTUAL solutions to problems rather than just knee-jerk ones.
Yeah too bad that a BS straw man of the "PC left" and Peterson explanations seem more akin to X can frequently be excused from their behavior toward Y and Y is often complacent in X's action toward them and i have yet to hear the "PC left" "proclaim everything is fine"and Peterson solutions are not solutions especially in the case sexual harassment "flirtation " is a vague principle.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
