I thought that the video Para posted was kind of encouraging. They all seemed to be actually listening-- which doesn't always happen. For sure they come across as clueless, but bear in mind that they have heard nothing but PC jargon about "empowering women" and "toxic masculinity" their whole lives. His point of view was brand new to them, strange and surprising, but they seemed to be trying to follow and understand his points. That does not often happen.

That was, by the way, one of the most bizarre sets I have ever seen. Like it was designed by somebody tripping on bad mescaline.

And is it only me or are there moments when Peterson has a dead-ringer Hannibal Lecter look in his eyes?

He and his wife have been to something like 200 cities in 2018, drawing big crowds at every appearance. He is a one-man counterbalance to the Leftist garbage polluting academia and the media, in particular. I hope his health and energy hold out for many years to come.

And now for something completely different...

Lol, when I was at Peterson’s Talk a few months back, he acknowledged he sounds like Kermit.

The first time I ever heard him he was on Sam Harris' podcast. It was kind of a disaster, and he came across as a frustrating, little old man, by the sound of his voice. My opinion has, of course, drastically changed since then.

What I like about Jordan Peterson is how he can stay so calm, and balanced and not raise his voice or start talking hyper fast like Shapiro. He is able to disassemble ridiculous leftist arguments with ZERO emotion, using facts, logic, science and statistics much like Ben but in a more appealing manor. Zen Master is a really good way of putting it.

The section on harassment starting around 5:45 in is a home run [in all honestly this whole video was for Peterson] the section about makeup even my wife was like - okay yeah objectively, his point is absolutely true and was something most never even consider - its usually a skirt or blouse, but makeup? He brought his A game [so now my wife can no longer wear makeup - I kid - we work together so yeah cue the music]

Peterson states around 7 minutes in I don't care what people particularly feel about facts - that right there is one of the very reasons why you gotta love this guy and what stickman428 said above is on point to a T - wishing I had a bit of that in me - but I'm a bull in a china shop - or so I been told

Wow, that last part was powerful.

From the video; "I’m not suggesting in the least and have never suggested that there’s no domain for social action. I’m suggesting that people who don’t have their own houses in order should be very careful before they go about reorganizing the world."

"I think that generally people have things that are more within their personal purview that are more difficult to deal with and that they’re avoiding and that generally the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo moralistic stances on large scale social issues so that they look good to their friends and their neighbors."

Nail. Head. Bang!



Edit To Add: I also though I'd point out an exchange with a trans-gendered woman named Catherine McGregor. While she went off on a tangent about the legislation of things Government have mandated one CAN'T say, Jordan's point was that in his case the Government had legislated speech one MUST say. Even so, I was struck at this person's thoughtful (albeit wrong) opinion and how refreshing it was to hear a transgender advocate using polite, reasoned speech when discussing the topic of gender pronouns. Click here if you'd like to take a look.

She gets snarky and insulting because she knows she is defending an inferior concept against a superior intellect

We know that, but I really don't think that she does. What is so obnoxious about her is that she is passive aggressive and smug throughout.

In other words, I think she is really stupid. The genuine article. Peterson is, as usual, brilliant, but none of it registers on her.

Just look at the still on Para's clip, above. He might as well be talking to a potato.

You got it. She's not being smug because she's employed observation, experience and logic to arrive at her completely self-assured position. Quite the opposite. It's all about emotion and opinion. Only stupid people are that sure that they are right with nothing to back up their position.

If I were that woman, I wouldn't even be able to view video of that exchange, but then again she's a leftist, so she's far too fucking stupid to be embarrassed.

I'm surprised programs continue to invite him on. Same with Ben Shapiro. These nitwits all want to pull his pants down in front of their audiences and eventually get tuned up and embarrassed.

Keep on keepin' on, Jordan.

He does a great job in this verbal combat. With people like this it's hard to declare a winner because they don't submit to common sense or even fact. They'll just continue to "disagree." It's exhausting and contemptible.

That’s a good one.

I can’t believe people will even attempt to argue against his clear logic backed up with facts.

He is speaking at Liberty University this morning. You can watch it livestream Here (Facebook live stream)

Thank you, redstone, for posting the link.

I'll be digesting this for a good part of the day.

Unsurprisingly, Peterson's book was removed from a national bookseller in New Zealand. Citing 'disturbing material being circulated' as reason for its removal.

Step-by-step, NZ continues to march towards social-totalitarianism post-Christchurch attack, fulfilling the wishes of the shooter

This is one one of the most interesting Peterson videos I have ever seen. Like many of us on this board, I was a great fan of Milo, but then I turned against him when he seemed to be endorsing, or at least apologizing for, pedophilia.

What I learned in this video is just how Milo was set up in this "scandal." I won't try to recap it because he is very clear about it, and you really need to hear him out. It was not the left that brought Milo down, but the right acting in concert with the left. Listen to it. It is quite eye opening.

At about the 50 minute mark, Milo talks about the "prestige economy" and he tells Peterson that he, Peterson, is part of it. It's not a compliment, and I expected Peterson to rebut the assertion, but he does not.

Milo is perhaps the most engaging and interesting public character in America-- by which I mean someone who is in the public eye as a commentator on our culture and politics. He is certainly one of the boldest and bravest. His expose in this video alone of the corruption of the Catholic Church-- and the "Lavender Mafia"-- is astonishing. And every word of it rings true. (Yet Milo remains a Catholic.)

I can't recommend this video strongly enough. If you are concerned about what is happening in the political world-- as that world bleeds over into the religious world, the journalistic world, the entertainment world, the academic world-- all I can say is: Watch the video.
