Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion

[paulpablo]

And going back to what Jordan Peterson is saying, wealth and being a racial majority are more important in relation to the things mentioned in that list.  

A white and black clone go to buy a house, wealth is a more important to the seller of that house than race.

Skin colour won't directly get you the privilage of buying the nicer house.

But if they are both of equal wealth, who do you think the seller is more likely going to sell the house to?

Anyway, that's her experience of what she has observed when compared to her black peers. That you, bennyboy, and Peterson can't accept that skin color must be playing a role doesn't mean that you're right. Who is Peterson anyway? He's not a sociologist, nor is he a lawyer, an evolutionary psychologist, or an expert on evolution in any way. He's a psychoanalyst with some some weird views on certain topics and not very good critical thinking skills. Psychoanalysis isn't really a credible field.

I'll get back to you later, benny.

He doesn't say skin color isn't playing a role, he says in relation to the woman's claim that she can buy a house anywhere she wants to live, that wealth plays a more important role, which it does.  It's a more reliable variable to look at if you were trying to guess who has more options when it comes to buying property.

It's the privilege someone gets when they have money, and if they live in a country where they are the majority it's even more linked to the privileges she mentions, being able to meet people of her race when she wants to, see people in the media who are of the same race.
