That depends on the nature of the oppression, and before we can know how to fix it we must do what Peterson is telling us not to do, we must look into...
You mean this is an objective category? Because there are people who are able to get the right nutrients, rest, have the genes for it, etc Socially aw...
? No, I am not in the habit of consciously striving to put forth "meaningless," "pathetic" and "shallow" responses. If I saw this I would refrain from...
I suppose emotions could transcend narratives, but it's damn unlikely, and certainly not the way to achieve the optimum of this result. You will not c...
We have already done this and continue to do this, and in so many cases it has helped us to pass more intelligent civil laws. Your reason for not doin...
"One of the debates, we might say, between early Christianity and the late Roman Empire was whether or not an emperor could be God, literally to be de...
Well then, Newton was mortal. There you have a rational argument. If you want to attack it you must go after the integrity of the premises. (I must al...
Well friend, you made the charge, which is all fine and well, but you may mean something very different by it, which is what I suspect. Here we have a...
"The body of law is something that you act out; that’s why it’s a body of law. That’s why, if you’re a good citizen, you act out the body of law." Jor...
That's all fine and well, but if he admits there's a problem, which he does, he even validates the word "oppression," what caused it? Is his approach ...
I watched the recommended section. The problem is that you are part of your culture, just like slaves were part of theirs. They didn't see anything wr...
Come now, you can do better than this. You just tried to give a rebuke on arguments. I assume you don't think this is one, further, from your own word...
This is an important point, because if we were to engage with such a person, they would, as they always seem to do, simply argue that their experience...
With all due respect friend, you have much more educating to do. How do you think geniuses are made? Through genes? Where do you think people get skil...
Yes there is research to prove this, but as I understand it, and I am not a neurobiologist, some of our ideas of innate cognitive modules are being ch...
Marx's theories are comprehensive, they span the species, there is massive and profound legal theory associated with Marx. He tried to think about the...
Yes, genes play a role, they can offer potential or the lack thereof, but environment is the earth that determines what genes will become and what gen...
Please tell me I am living a nightmare from which I will soon awake. Sir, did you just assert that will and strength are a product of some notion of "...
David Mo has already addressed these kind of fatalistic, all or nothing arguments, which seem to be the foundation of all cult-minded-thinking. The le...
This is a false analogy. While you are right about thought having a very bland and pathetic dimension to it, in contrast to the ever shifting idea of ...
This is true, but tragically his fallacious and emotional approach to this topic is probably the approach of most people, at least in America. I under...
"Thing" is a word used by humans to demarcate objects of being. Further, the word 'thing" is itself insufficient to encompass the reality of being, th...
These arise for many reasons, but when you are talking about belief in the imaginary, unless you are talking about Deism, which could be leveraged tho...
You might also watch the Chomsky Foucault exchange on youtube. I am so damn impressed with Foucault's foresight in that exchange. He seemed to exactly...
Conformity. Submission as opposed to thought's resistance. Here we have a serious thinker without species consciousness? Here we have a serious thinke...
Yes, of course, one can do whatever they so like in the domain of ideas. I have never said and would never say that everything Peterson says is wrong ...
VERY IMPORTANT: Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis has nothing to do with Hegel's position. This is a distortion and gross simplification of his philoso...
Spot on friend. Tragic that so many have swallowed Pinker uncritically. There is a deeper social problem which I believe has to do with rational instr...
This is just a shallow poisoning of the well, the fallacy of guilt by association as well as a stawman. Is anyone on this thread advocating or defendi...
Even if he's not I can assure you that you are a socialist, and would never pack up your goods and move to a purely capitalist country. American is ac...
Here here, friend. Exactly the case, and because of this we all, as thinkers, if we are serious, must examine ourselves for this bias as much as we po...
Identity is exactly dependent on a human being drawing a distinction, this takes place in every instance of identity. There is great confusion in your...
If you're trying to claim a kind of genetic determinism, specifically social Darwinism, friend you have it all wrong. Your personality structure, whic...
What you have here stated summarizes so very swiftly the way capitalist ideology functions. They often pretend to be champions of reason and truth, th...
"Don't-be-melodramatic: Marx-didn't-want-to-kill-an-entire-class." This is just hilarious, you have me cracking up David. Sad that this even needs to ...
I am more than happy to engage with intelligent, thoughtful replies on this thread, but some of the replies here are so inept that I will not do it. I...
