Jordan Peterson thread

Zatoichi.uK · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:19

I like his stance on free speech and personal responsibility but when it gets into the religious realm and the cultural post modernism marxist stuff he kind of loses me. His discussion with Sam Harris was pretty painful to follow too. Decent guy though and obviously cares deeply about people.

Personally I found his lectures on the Bible amazing, i also watched most of his uni lectures for the psychology classes. His analysis of the lion king was a wonderful 2 part lecture, very enjoyable.

had to bump as this guy is spot on with his Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro impressions

I like how he tried to blame ‘that interview’ with Sam Harris on some dodgy cider.

And if he genuinely hadn’t slept for a month he’d be dead, so he must have been getting *some* sleep.

Don't be.
Having been and tried to sit through it, pretentious preening if I'm honest. Fell asleep half way through.

Most salient point was by Murray, then I kinda snoozer.

I switch off when he starts talking about religion too. Psychology is far more interesting.

You must switch off a lot as he always seems to be banging on about Christianity.

No he doesn’t, you see some videos or clips of him discussing it and assume so. If you watched a lot of his content you’d know it’s not mostly about Christianity.

It’s pretty clear you don’t care much for him so I don’t know why you continue to post in this thread every so often, it’s baffling :confused:

Hes doing a talk in oxford at the end of October but the tickets are like £40-70! To the people that have seen him, is it worth the cash ?

It's all well and good saying you don't mind him, but many of your posts here don't give off that impression, just baseless criticism. If you take for example his episodes on the JRE podcast with over 10 hours of mainly him speaking, very little of it involves Christianity.

Basically just dresses up right wing guff in slightly more intellectually sounding guff.

Ah, good one, so far left that anything remotely right sounding makes some one a right winger :rolleyes:

you've clearly listened to very little of him if that's the conclusion you've made, or you've just copied an opinion on him you've seen elsewhere, as that's all many of his critics seem to be able to tag him with.

Its funny because its true.

Classic simpleton post from you, it's unsurprising you can't make any real argument against him and there's plenty to be made.

Is his Christianity talk not just in the realm of using say Greek Mythology to describe archetypes and life lessons?

If the Christianity angle turns you off, ignore the modern church institution and just treat it as a framework to tell an allegory. You won't suddenly turn into an evangelical by association. The modern church is not that representative of the way Christianity or Gnostic practices were in the past.
