Absolutely right!!! even Socrates was forced to drink the hemlock .

I'm a great fan of Peterson's work and I do admire his dogged defence of the rational over the merely modish and affected.

He's a great Anglophile and for me his seminal work on island based cultures and their psychological development entitled " Why Northern English Twats cannot distinguish their arses from a fucking hole in the ground" remains the bible of modern social science in Britain. His latest oeuvre on the effects of a restrictive environment upon horizon scanning capabilities, " Why stumpy Welsh pygmies cannot see further than their next Ewe" is set to blaze yet more trails in the academic hinterland.

While the prof has a few valid points on various subjects, overall he's a chauvinist and a bigot.

Course 'e is. White, too.

What if he promised to wear a burka to deliver his comments? Would you embrace him then, or would he be chastised for culturally appropriating Mussie garb?

So have you guys worked out exactly who you're angry at and why yet?

Or still in the seething-bubbling-I-knows-I-is-a-victim-I-can-feels-it-but-I'm-not-sure-how-or-why yell at clouds stage?

it's the age of the echo chamber. discussion with those of differing views, even giving a voice to those with differing views is now verboten in todays education system.

pathetic.

Western education is shifting toward teaching future adults what to think instead of how to think.

I enjoy watching Peterson rip new assholes from old.

Guilty as charged.

Yes, it was Voltaire's biographer, my mistake. Tolerance of other people's opinions should be a tenet to live by, though.

The faculty of divinity refused to disclose why it had changed its mind.

Angry enough that you're ranting on without being possessed of all the facts.

Indeed, but the airing of those opinions can be dangerous for society. The great unwashed being influenced by a gift-of-the-gab white supremacist, for example.
Can we say, "I tolerate your opinion, you're entitled to it, but I don't want you weaponising it as propaganda to influence the unwashed masses and make them believe in objectionable and fallacious claptrap"?
Real question. I'm not quite sure where I stand.

Ever seen this piss-weak phenomenon before, dodgy panty-wearing creepy dude?

The all inclusive Right is apset that one of their own is excluded. Boo Hoo!!

And they don't even know why but are already sure they're some how the victims. *Sniff!*

One of the things that Peterson has done well is exploit seething racism and misogyny for profit. He has tapped into a goldmine of profits from the pockets of the whole "Jews will not replace us" Altreich white nationalist crowd who worship him and pay millions to him every month on patreon for his "self help" seminars.

They guy knows full well what fires he is stoking and that is why racist shitbags like Tex and Taxi adore him. He tells them exactly what they want to hear. Validation of ideology today is very important to the aging insecure racist white male whose grip of power slips everyday.

I would think being a straight, white, male qualifies Mr. Peterson as being a member of an under-represented group. Inclusive? Yeah ... no.

it wasn't Voltaire, it was Montesqieu if I am not mistaken

^ I am not sure of the point you were trying to make Ray. Other than JP gets occasionally frustrated and angry like most of us.

poor effort there s.a. your repetitive and frankly r disturbibgly racist rants against your fellow countrymen mark you out as nothing more than a disgruntled and rather mixed up old irrelevence, a civil servant made redundant thanks to austerity led cutbacks, and now confined to barracks in your pattaya eyrie, hurting in both your psyche and your wallet thanks to redundancy led depression, the falling pound and your being out-voted on brexit.


you are certainly not alone in your confusion at the way the world works these days and its better not to fight it. just slow down and let the train roll on by.

with your curmudgeonly character, shortage of readies and the high level of boiling anger that colours your every post, you would feel very much at home in the north. a kindred spirit if ever i saw one. aye lad.

so don the flat cap, treat yourself to a roll up and come on over to the other side and let it all out. you'll be glad you did.

Triggered hypocrisy.

The death of free speech, tolerance and the right to hear views other than those fed by the liberal education establsihment
