This short video is worth watching several times.

For me, at least.

Each time I watched, another light bulb turned on.

Liked the other video as well.

Just start whatever it is you want to do. You will improve over time.

And maybe pick up a mentor along the way or tips from other pro’s at times.

Why, because it is counter to their religion. We are to respect their religion, but not they ours.

I’ve been developing my own theory for a number of years that falls right in line with what Dr. Peterson is saying.

It’s the Left’s “Embrace of Uncertainty”, which is Postmodernism before I knew there was such a thing.

They only reject logic and reason when it doesn’t work in their favor which is, granted, all the time.

Thanks, that was GREAT!

This guy is broadly knowledgeable, a deep thinker, and very quick minded to sort through the current (and likely future) levels of the content and argumentation of the discussion.

One could say individuals moving post Renascence back into the Dark Ages.

The term itself is illogical.
Post-modern is the future.

I would say what Nietzsche said “God Is Dead”.

What Nietzsche understood, quite correctly, is what happens to a society when God and the “Logos” are no longer at the foundation of belief.

Post modern is NOT the Future.

It’s “Post” belief in God.

I think it means post "modernism" as in the period of modernism.

Google modernism (or just click on that link;-)) and you will see what they mean.

One of the parties to the conversation said that he didn’t know that mathematics could have a race. Doesn’t he know that no person of African decent has ever won the Fields Medal? From the leftist post-modernist perspective that means that mathematics is racist.

You need to do some research on Postmodernism.

“Post-modern is the future.”

Who decides what the future will be though? We’ve been forced to eat so much garbage under “progress” towards the future. Post Modernism is a movement that cuts into a wide range of disciplines from politics to architecture.

Progressives desire to control all human activity.
