Jordan Peterson thread

[Efour]

I really liked him then a few years back he did turn more religious in his musings.
He started to draw his talks and "lessons" and associations of morality directly from the Bible. I guess he turned more to it when he went through a low point.
Its basically all that Christianity has left going forward, a reasonable set of guidelines to make you more of a palatable citizen of Western society.
Yeah he deffo went more gung-ho after his 12 more rules for life. I remember his mental state went south and he openly talked how his physical health was borderline messed up too. He basically burned himself out "touring" and being thrust into the media spotlight.

Religion is still the one thing that will kill any conversation for me. Especially those that quote it as factual, however he's probably one of the only people that I can tolerate talking about it because the uses it well. Pretty much everything he says is true. He is intelligent, well read but I do fear he's gonna push the conservative Christian diatribe way too far.

Those who hate him and can't seem to ignore him will be glad to hear he's not coming back to twitter:

"I'd rather die than delete a tweet"

Yeah, ok mate, sure you would.

 

[james.miller]

Hades what do you think we've been talking about?

You do realise some people have conviction in their beliefs, right? People go on hunger strike, walk out of jobs, protest in the face of violence, etc, that may be an alien concept to you but don't assume everyone thinks the same way you might.

 

[james.miller]

What even gave you the impression that VincenHanna assumed everybody else thinks the same way he does? lol. shock as crazy people out there don't behave the same as everybody else. Stop thinking people are sensible, @VincentHanna !

At a pure guess I would say we've been talking about Jordan Peterson. Amirite?

Well it's a damn good job I posted a relevant video then. Phew.

 

[james.miller]

Yes, we're all much better off for you telling us Peterson wont go back to twitter when we've been discussing it for days.

I don't know what we'd do without you.

You seem really angry, why are you in a Jordan Peterson thread if he annoys you and people who like him annoy you?

He is like a modern Quảng Đức

 

[james.miller]

roar87, you got all that from me asking a question?

You seem really angry, why are you in a Jordan Peterson thread if he annoys you and people who like him annoy you?

Nope, nope and even if he did it's an open forum and nope. More contempt than annoyance.

Whatever you chose to do, don't bother with psychology. It's not for you.

 

[Diddums]

Quảng Đức

Bless you.

Hopefully you can see the irony of complaining about what someone has posted in a thread largely about freedom of speech

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you get to be free from criticism about what you say.

Complaining? I asked you a question then clarified your obtuse response. That's not complaining. But sure, free speech and all that so keep on posting.

The irony of the angriest poster on OCUK implying someone else is angry
