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...

So what's up with social media? Seems like the major players are dying.

How is it a hit-piece?

Pankaj Mishra wrote a unique article in the New York Review of Book yesterday, placing Peterson within a line of "intellectuals" who promote national ...

One day I hope to anger someone enough that they dedicate a blog post to me :up:

For sure. I mean my apartment is currently a mess, I guess that means I can't care about transgender rights
March 19, 2018 at 23:20
What? No, I used the M-word to describe the title of the video here.
March 19, 2018 at 21:46
Maybe look up the context with which I used it in this particular instance?
March 19, 2018 at 21:29
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPrxtj8FIQA Here is a very curious interview (or snippet of a longer interview) with Jordan Peterson. I thought the ho...
March 19, 2018 at 18:48
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...
March 19, 2018 at 18:38
Peterson tweeted about the Current Events article yesterday, and hilariously, couldn't tell the difference between a legitimate ad and a parody.
March 17, 2018 at 20:29
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 ...
March 16, 2018 at 19:57
Perhaps slightly overpriced, yeah. But not terribly unreasonable given that pastrami sandwiches at Jewish delis in NYC will generally cost between $15...
March 16, 2018 at 19:54
Same, nothing beats pastrami on rye w/ mustard from Katz's deli
March 16, 2018 at 19:48
Personally, I would use sauerkraut over coleslaw for any corned beefed or pastrami-based sandwich, but I think coleslaw is still an acceptable option.

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...

Ugh that sounds amazing. Personally I prefer Russian over Thousand Island.
March 16, 2018 at 14:07
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 ...

I could really go for a pastrami reuben

Intuition has some practical uses (see Thinking, Fast and Slow), but is severely limited as a method of epistemological certainty (see Thinking, Fast ...

ok
March 15, 2018 at 19:05
Excellent :up:
March 15, 2018 at 18:08
Agustino is just the embodiment of "truthiness"
March 15, 2018 at 16:19
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...

"Chowdah" It is indeed very pricey.
March 15, 2018 at 15:37
If it makes you feel better, Beard "destroyed" Johnson (as the kids would say) in the debate.
March 15, 2018 at 13:54
These types of public debates are so useless, as debaters are generally more interested in sounding right than actually being right. Although I did ve...

Of course, NYC is simply better than Boston in nearly every way.
March 15, 2018 at 13:41
There is, but it's not popular, because no self-respecting person would choose Manhattan clam chowder over the superior New England variant.

It's not about "ego games". It's about holding you accountable to the nonsense you frequently tell us.
March 14, 2018 at 19:42
No no no, you said Trump would "in actual fact"..."probably" get fewer votes than Clinton, and gave the example of California's population. That's not...
March 14, 2018 at 19:36
Haha you are so full of bullshit Agustino. I wonder if you actually believe the lies you are telling us.
March 14, 2018 at 19:26
Sure, he does (or did), and yet he nevertheless lost the popular vote. It doesn't follow that you believed you could "predict" Trump's victory, based ...
March 14, 2018 at 14:30
Under a popular vote, geographical differences have no impact because it's based on the individual vote alone. It's the electoral college that assigns...
March 14, 2018 at 14:24
Clinton had nearly 3 million more votes than Trump tho. Using the "energy of a crowd" as criteria for election prediction is just exercising biased pe...
March 14, 2018 at 13:58
Lol, you probably just got this number from Trump's tweet, or more directly, the Rasmussen Report poll, which isn't regarded as a high quality polling...

Here and here, just two examples
