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

[The Grand Nudger]

I'm glad to see you walk it all the way back to a time before you decided it was No3, lol.

In any case, was there anything that you found helpful in that slate article?

Yeah, it shows that our conversation pretty much mirrors those going on at higher academic levels.  I think this PC vs. Free speech issue is one of the defining issues in the US right now.

But be warned-- the more you try to use hysteria and rhetoric to win, and ignore facts, the more people are going to think that free speech has to come out on top.

Its defining for the alt right, sure.   I was honestly hoping for something a little less lunacy confirming out of that one.  In light of the fact that the author directly addressed this notion, does it really make sense to think that the article confirms some nutball conspiracy against free speech? Or, as unkind as it will inevitably seem to you, might it make more sense to assume that you will interpret any information you come acrossed in this way?

Beyond that, I think that you might be swallowing the koolaid here, as well..because this conversation isn't actually occurring at high levels of academia. At that level, the issue has been settled definitively and not in favor of scientific racism. It's occurring at the pulp level of popular consumption where it's maintenance is politically useful and it's inaccuracy completely irrelevant.

Were you having a stroke, here.....or?   

Shhhh. . . I'm trying to put myself in your shoes, and see if that helps me understand your position.

So, yes?

Now here's a question for you. Who told you that was anything I would think or say, or that it bore even a passing resemblance to any position of mine? I'll give you three guesses and a hint. Starts with alt, ends in right.
