Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion
#27
RE: Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion
Well, here’s a former academic talking about the pros and cons (mostly the cons) of Jordan’s worldview:





She goes more into the basics of how his political foundation is built on the sand than the 12 rules, so it’s not terribly comprehensive (this is a bit less than a half hour, a bit over half the length of the Hugo and Jake video I posted above, which focused on just one book chapter), but, she clearly knows her stuff, and, the 12 rules, as I said earlier, are actually fairly decent in and of themselves. It’s the way he goes about them that’s questionable.

And yes, the woman in the video is transgender; she’s in the early stages of her transition, and for that, she’s doing pretty good job of passing, and an even better job of giving a measured argument critiquing his claims.

Also, when I played the “click on a random part of the Bible Reloaded video” game, it was Jake speculating that Jordan Peterson is legitimately on the autism spectrum.
