Let's examine some of Peterson's "bullshit," shall we? I'd like to post a recent video clip. I've taken the time to type out a section for purpose of discussion.
I'm quite curious, actually, what exactly anybody here finds exceptional. Robvalue took the time to type out a passage from the book, and that was very interesting, but that was the end, so far as I can tell, of any attempt to actual examine what Peterson believes, or even what he has said.
Jordan Peterson (21:20) Wrote:So what's the left for? The left is to remind those who are benefiting from the hierarchies that the hierarchy comes at a cost-- and the cost is the clumping of people at the bottom, and that that's an eternal cost, and it's NOT TRIVIAL. And so that's what the left should be properly focused on. The left should be providing the voice of those who are dispossessed by hierarchies and the right should be saying yeah but the damn hierarchies are necessary, and they're not only necessary but they're also productive.It seems like a pretty balanced view to me. Is this really what alt-right White Supremacists sound like?
Then the left says yes, but they tilt towards tyranny, and they can be occupied inappropriately by people who are playing games of power. Fair enough-- the right has to take that into account. The hierarchy can rigidify, and is likely to do that, and it can be taken over by people who are corrupt-- and that's likely to happen.
