Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

Nope he gained popularity because of conspiracies 


Quote:I'm just unsure of what is actually "better" for society. Why is your or my or anyone's views better than his? What do you or I have over him? Experience? Morality? Years of research? 
Because Khems views don't whirl around grand conspiracies about Marxists (he doesn't understand Marx at all) 


Quote:Maybe he might be right (with certain things, no one is right about everything), and some of what he is saying could actually improve society.
When he's restrained he's very protective left to his own devices his views become twisted

Yeah, I already mentioned it earlier in thread..but for a recap...

In the 90s, he worked on personality traits.  He became somebody in october of 2016 by protesting the non fact that the canadian government was going to gulag him for refusing to use a transgender students preferred pronoun.  He then went on a "pwning the libs" youtube tour..and finally gave his thesis, entitled..

"Identity Politics and the Marxist Lie of White Privilege"

Quote:I'm just unsure of what is actually "better" for society. Why is your or my or anyone's views better than his? What do you or I have over him? Experience? Morality? Years of research?

Maybe he might be right (with certain things, no one is right about everything), and some of what he is saying could actually improve society.
Nothing he says in his capacity as a mouthpiece for paranoid rightwing bigotry will improve society in any way.
Which is odd as Marx would not have liked Identity politics  as he viewed the privileged as being slaves to their own privilege  and that from top down the system was bad for everyone and that violent revolution was simply as way to wipe the board clean and start over at the foundations .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
