A basis for meaning in life is a decent start for a lot of people.
Nihilism runs rife in the "modern" hedonistic West, and as far as I

And anyway - what the hell is wrong with someone (in this case
Peterson), daring to suggest that the mythology of Christianity
might actually embody truths of an abstract sort which truths might
be useful to the day to day, and life in general, pursuits of a
human?

And further, daring to suggest that such abstract principles (if the
word "truth" is too much for you to stomach in a conversation which
mentions the word Christianity) have substantial overlap with
Buddhism?

And more yet, that at least some of these abstract principles appear
to have a biological emergent basis (one could say from the Darwinian
perspective) - including an emergent basis for how to define ethics -
this should I imagine be grabbed by both horns by the Sam Harris'es
of the world!  (As in, an atheist couldn't ask for much more!)

Seriously, this is very cool science, mixed into (in this case
Peterson's) psychological study of not only the biblican stories in
Genesis, but at least those stories from Genesis.

Peterson has said --so very much-- that a hand waving "he's full of
shit" just does not cut it sorry.

If you want to take Peterson down, at least attack some particular
principle you claim to be false (or as in James D's case, an example
of a position that appears to be manifestly unfair - the Lefty
Loonies have had effectively unfettered "permission" to exploit
Marxist doctrine for literally decades to smash open the Western
hierarchy/ society apple carts, and only now when the Huwaite
conservatives start to get going, Peterson turns around and says "oh
no you don't - you're not allowed to do that" - sure, can't dispute
that that's unfair, and from a practical perspective one could easily
say in response (to this unfairness position) "sure, go to it,
re-build the Huwaite tribes to the extent possible and use whatever
damn principles achieve that result" - but at least be prepared to
answer the objections raised by Peterson and his ilk :) ).

Juan, I responded to your last Peterson- (and now Zenaan- ) bashing
email, here:
https://lists.cpunks.org/pipermail/cypherpunks/2018-August/042914.html

Are you disputing the 300 million year basis for "dominance"
hierarchies?

What about Peterson's 'emergent basis for ethics'?

Or are you just flailing at the windmill of Peterson using the word
"Christian" in his talks?

Ball's in your court...

It was a trap question by Crowder, and when asked a second time
Peterson highlighted that it was actually a trap question and said
something like "look, you can make such a case, but that's not what
I'm actually saying", and he first highlighted how such a case could
be made by asking Crowder 'Alex Jones has been banned from YouTube,
and he used telephones, so should AT be allowed to ban Jones from
using telephones' which Crowder seemed stumped to answer, and so
Peterson filled in the obvious 'we can probably agree that Alex Jones
should not be allowed to be barred from using telephones, and so in
a similar way, a case could be made to regulate YouTube as a
telecommunications provider, although that's not what I'm saying...'

OK, now we've got the context (and thankfully the clarification),
feel free to have a proper shot at destroying Peterson's position
here - point is, Crowder backed down, implicitly agreeing that he'd
tried to trap Peterson into a position that Peterson does not hold.

Peterson said -multiple- times in that video that the corporations
can do what they want, and that when they choose to censor they are
making a really bad decision which one way or another they will pay
for - quite possibly by their collapse over a 10 year period.  THAT's
what Peterson said, multiple times!

Crowder did make the best attempt yet to take Peterson down a notch,
that I would agree with, but Peterson held his own remarkably well

By my take on listening to that part of it (yesterday) Peterson was
responding to Crowder by highlighting that 'perhaps you might want to
consider that censorship is not a good thing - here's a bone that
your thick head might comprehend, “censorship in China”'.

Peterson frustrates the atheists because he discusses and dissects
Christian theology.

Then he alienates the "committed Christians" by analysing the
scientific literature suggesting (biologically) emergent ethics - in
e.g. rats and lobsters.

Further, he does a fine job of highlighting how the very concept of
hierarchy is inevitable the moment you or I choose to act in the
world, and then suggests that perhaps our mythology was a best
attempt (at the time each myth was first spoken) to explain to
subsequent generations (without paper and writing of course) the
insights of their forefathers about the collective human reality
itself.

And to top it off, these "emergent" mythologies are surprisingly
similar (in their foundations) across religions and cultures.


Just one quick example of many:

In Christianity, there is the idea of "the king of kings", and some
historical figure, in this case a man named Buddha, sorry I mean
Jesus, is held up as that ideal of the king of kings.

"Ain't no firetruckin man be a king of me" I hear you (rightly) say.

But the concept "king" in this context can be taken as "someone who
displays the most admirable qualities within a particular hierarchy"
- and Peterson gives the classic example of poor vs good
sportsmanship - the real king of the game is he who displays those
qualities most admired, but across all games in a season, or all
games that he ever plays in, and not just the winner of one game -
this is the concept of sportsmanship.

And the concept "sportsmanship" or "sportsman" (I emphasize man for
the trigger-prone here) is just another noun for which "king" in
"king of kings" plays a similar role.

So those qualities worthy of striving for (of which sportsmanship
rather than winning is merely one of many of course) make someone the
king of that game - in the case of Michael Jackson, he was named the
king of pop music.

So, each hierarchy has an abstract king - someone who, theoretically,
displays all the finest qualities that can be achieved by someone
aiming to develop in the best "sportsman like" way across all games,
performances, etc within his field (hierarchy).

And the king of kings is then that abstract representation of someone
who lives all those admirable qualities across all possible
hierarchies or endeavours.


It seems useful to teach ones children "good sportsmanship" ("It's
not about winning, it's about how you play").

Likewise it seems useful, or at least this is what humans have done
across time and across cultures, to abstract "the best possible
qualities a human can strive for, across time and across all possible
pursuits".

Today, "king of kings" sounds a little quaint and old fashioned, but
this does not make the concept -- however one chooses to name this
concept -- any less instrinsicly useful (of course).


Now this might be hard to believe, but some folks are so caught up in
winning the particuylar game(s) they play, that they demonstrate poor
sportsmanship, and further, hard as it may be to believe, some folks
have not even been taught what it means to be a good sport.

So in the West we tend to agree that the concept "good sportsmanship"
is worth teaching to our children.

To teach any concept at all, one must first be able to cognize and
identify it, second name it and speak about it in ways which make
sense to others.


Jordan Peterson is doing a fine job of naming a bunch of things,
identifying where, how and presumably why they arise in our
mythology, and delivering this in talks, discussions and interviews
which are evidently compelling to millions of people.


Please feel free to do better - there is evidently a real market for
those who can communicate complex concepts in compelling ways, so if
get good at doing so, you may well get a massive following.

YES! And what part you don't get about peterson being on the far right? 
According to peterson the western fascist cesspool is based on meritocracy, not 
on hundreds of years of world-wide criminality. Hence he's the most crass 
apologist of western fascism you can find. 

He does exactly what all fake libertarians do. Pretend that a highly 
mercantilistic/imperialistic system is The Amazing Anarchit Free Market.

The fact that allegedly (by you) peterson doesn't share your exact

There are many, many parts to Peterson's conversation.

You can say he's "making fascist Christianity great again", that he's
Christian, that he's an atheist, that's he's a right wing fascist, an
apologist for the Jews, and that he's a left wing socialist (he is
after all a professor groomed on the public purse).

And to some degree, all of these ad homs are correct - he IS human
after all, and we humans are riddled with failings.

Ipso failing humans.

However, there is much more to this particular conversation than just
the negatives.

Peterson is re-enlivening meaning - be it Buddhist Daoism, "Western"
(Christian) theology and even, truth be, existential "scientific"
atheism.

Now THAT's a firetrucking feat!

Seriously, there's a gem in Peterson's talks for all, for example
most recently:


  Iceland - 12 Rules for Life Tour - Lecture 1

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM_QPCxCkws


Perhaps listen to it not on double speed, and take a sheet of Vim (or
Emacs for the immediate-mode bigots), divide it in two and create two

And if your insights column comes up empty, it might be time for you
to start giving your own lectures or writing up your own Bakunin or
Solzhenitsyn.  I for one will personally relish reading it if you put
even half the time Peterson put into either of his books (15 years
for the first, ~5 years for the second, reportedly rewriting each
sentence and each paragraph many, many times until he felt he would
only make each such unit worse be re-writing it yet again).


For those on the "Ayn Rand is nothing but a propagandist" persuasion,
this quote from Peterson's recent QnA (at the end of the above 'tube)
is right up our alley:

  “[this is] what makes Dostoyevsky different to Ayn Rand for
  example: 'cause Ayn Rand already knew [prior to writing her book]
  who the good guys and the bad guys were, and may be she was right
  and may be she wasn't, doesn't matter — what matters is that what
  she did wasn't literature, it was just sophisticated propaganda.
  You know, it taps into "literature" upon occasion, but ...”


Good luck,

Oh OK. Given such accurate definition, I guess you have evidence of 
peterson knocking over many apple carts?


Men are being emasculated, which is one big apple cart, the destruction 
of the family is another, and Peterson's proposed solution is "clean up 
your room"


 He credits American Jews with an average IQ high enough to entirely 
explain their disproportionate influence, and completely failing to 
notice that whites are second class citizens to NAMs. He advocates 
hierarchy based on meritocracy, and conspicuously fails to notice major 
deviations from meritocracy.


The solution to emasculation and the destruction of the family is not to 
clean up your room, but to project the masculinity of the vicious 
psychopathic criminal, combined with the assets and material lifestyle 
of the respectable male, staying out of jail while superficially seeming 
the kind of man that chicks would find in jail. Jordan offers fatherless 
boys the same old blue pill solutions to dealing with women, which 
result in them living in involuntary celibacy.


Involuntary celibacy is one hell of a broken apple cart.

Peterson piously mentions that commies murdered a hundred million or so, 
and are entirely unrepentant, but neglects to say that they hunger and 
thirst to do it all again, and that Democrats are on the same course, a 
course headed directly for the Red Terror of 1794, which eighteenth 
century horror prefigured the enormously larger mass murders of the 
twentieth century, and the extraordinary increase in war, state 
violence, and private criminal violence that we have seen starting with 
the French Revolution, which is a very big pile of broken apple carts.

You are correct.  The controlling case is Brandenburg v. Ohio, 1969.  Although, 
since I no longer have access to a LEXIS computer system, I cannot Shepardize 
(modern equivalent:  Text search) this case in the various appeals Circuits to

 That, of course, is bullshit.

 The First Amendment absolutely protects calls for violence, as
 long as no “specific and credible threat” is involved. Simply
 calling for the destruction of a race, even by torture, is
 protected speech.

 Nevertheless, the two tweets (“gabs”) in question have already been
 removed by GAB.

you'll have to first define 'left' and then give some example of

 Again, it seems clear you never listened to peterson's lunatic 
ramblings composed of 'christian stories' 'IQ science' and robotic praise for 
the 'democratic' 'free market' west.

Why is free speech so important, foundational in fact?  According to
Peterson “it's the thing that keeps the temperamental types from
being at each other's throats”.

(He did an earlier one too, just before the Cathy Newman interview,
which has some good material also:

Truth in the Time of Chaos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjqXXengN1s


Notwithstanding Peterson's failings (he's a human, he certainly is
not perfect, but who is?), his message (if it can be so reduced),
evidenced by his popularity, is apparently (and I believe so)
relevant to the zeitgeist of today, in a very "let's avoid a 20th
Century style catastrophie" kind of way - do we really want to
empower another Stalin or Pol Pot?

Good luck fellow pepes,

Peterson speaks so clearly that just about anyone with the capacity
to listen ought be able to hear.

Free speech is one of the 4 or 5 fundamental, essential, foundational
liberties, and one can find it difficult to put forth a compelling
position to those presently entrenched in their hate speech.

Peterson does so readily, and clearly - in the following from about
52:00.
