Well, in the interest of Bennyboy's commendable effort to re-rail the Jordan Peterson book thread back to the actual topic, even if it did take opening an entire new thread, here's Hugo and Jake touching on a subject that's really close to my heart:
They make a damn good point (specifically around 54:00) about the basic problem with the sort of child discipline Jordan Peterson seems to advocate: that even barring the inherent cruelty in physical discipline, it doesn't even work the way it's supposed to: Hugo says "it never taught me not to do the thing, what it taught me to do is to lie and hide things so I didn't get in trouble because I feared the punishment because it would invoke pain."
If they're interpreting it wrong, bennyboy, please show me where it's wrong.
