Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion
#97
RE: Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion
I had made a long post explaining about evolution, natural selection, and so on, but in googling to confirm the definition, I found this:  

https://jordanbpeterson.com/media/on-the...-monogamy/

Note the name of the website it comes from.  I think we can now very definitively say EXACTLY what he means. He also brings links, studies and so on to support his view. He clearly explains the benefits of "normative monogamy" as he now calls it, and explains what he did NOT mean by it-- i.e. what the hysterical left are screeching about.

I'll assume since it's a very short article that anyone who cares about what Peterson actually thinks will read it.  Then I'd add this because I want to stick with the OP-- it goes back to Chapter 1 of the book-- how the perception of the status of the self (for example, if bested in a competition) affects behavior, and how on the other hand humans can use changes in behavior to change their perception of themselves and break that negative chain.
