I don't think it's incumbent upon the critic to delineate "good reasons" people might be captivated by Peterson's message (and not just because I don'...
Hmm well I think I somewhat addressed the last two why questions you posed (at least to the extent I can do so at 1:30am). As to the initial "why is s...
The digital world is addictive, and a large portion of people will want to show friends, co-workers, acquaintances, etc. what they are doing, what the...
Right, the last snow storm lasted for hours, but nothing really stuck, and anything that did melted within a few days. It should be warm enough that v...
First, Noble - how the fuck are we getting another Nor-Easter tomorrow? This is like the 4th in as many weeks. Anyway, I use Facebook less and less to...
Pankaj Mishra wrote a unique article in the New York Review of Book yesterday, placing Peterson within a line of "intellectuals" who promote national ...

Mods - I posted a fairly long comment in the White Identity and Marxism thread, and it said he was "queued for review" or something to that effect. Wh...
This doesn't answer the question posed, exactly, but statistically, for every criminal killed in lawful self-defense, by a gun, 35 innocent people are...
You're right. To be on the safe side, we should murder Leftists who write nicely. Harsh, to be sure, but we can potentially save millions of lives by ...
Perhaps slightly overpriced, yeah. But not terribly unreasonable given that pastrami sandwiches at Jewish delis in NYC will generally cost between $15...
The Fall Into Time by E.M. Cioran (Rereading) Seibo There Below by Laszlo Krasznahorkai Krasznahorkai is arguably one of the most important living wri...
Is it? In the article that Saphsin provided, the author mentions a Peterson video titled, "Would I Ever Hit A Woman?" While Peterson does not condone ...
Intuition has some practical uses (see Thinking, Fast and Slow), but is severely limited as a method of epistemological certainty (see Thinking, Fast ...
As the author of the above review I linked to observes, Peterson isn't as "avowedly extreme nor as daft as Milo Yiannopoulos", who is (or was) a major...
