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

[bennyboy]

Actually, I think the million dollar bet was that A) I wasn't randomly browsing Cracked when I discovered this article on Jordan Peterson and instead, just looking for the first bad article I could find about Jordan Peterson, and that B) Cracked is just a website that covers articles about the stupidity of the first Jet Pack and reasons to be worried about Star Wars Episode IX.

I proved him wrong on both counts within a single post, noting that A) I had been with the thread within the first 23 minutes of the OP, B) Just Googling Jordan Peterson's name yielded four articles that are just as, if not more damning, before I even left the first page of results, and C) Cracked actually does have some legitimately thought-provoking articles (I linked to EIGHT in that post.)

Also, about the "randomly browsing Cracked," I realised I did not exactly address this issue. So, just search Keyword:"Cracked"  Username: "Rev. Rye." You'll find I actually do read Cracked quite a bit. Not exactly every day, but it shouldn't be too hard to imagine that I'd just stumble upon an article while browsing it.

Eh?

Why we talking about this?  I saw on Cracked front page a bunch of BS articles, and reckoned it wasn't a good source.  You immediately linked some good articles, and I immediately said I'd been wrong in my view about that publication.

When I'm wrong, I'm perfectly happy saying so.

--edit--
I'll even go further than that. EVEN IF Cracked had nothing but BS articles, you weren't using Cracked as an authority, and I should still have taken that individual article on its own merits. Not to do so would be very much using a guilt of association of ideas, the kind of thing I've been complaining about with Khemikal. Hypocrisy is never a good policy.
