And he cannot fathom how he got here.
“Canada’s main public affairs magazine Maclean’s has featured an article (Nov. 17, 2017) titled “Is Jordan Peterson the stupid man’s smart person?” — shades of Hillary’s deplorables — written by a certain Tabatha Southey. It is a sophomoric rant dripping with smug disingenuousness and fey pro-Marxist rhetoric, accusing Peterson of monetizing his unease and of being a belle of the alt-right. She refers to Peterson as, variously, Jordan Pea-Headerson, Jordan Eggman, Dr. Pettyson, J-man and J. Pete the Beet, of whom “most of what he says is, after fifteen seconds’ consideration, completely inane.””
This Tabatha Southey is a real piece of work. She’s the ex-wife of comedic actor Dave Foley. This tweet shows her contempt for Jordan Peterson: https://twitter.com/tabathasouthey/status/931558104210194432?lang=en
I’m attracted to the argument that ever more divisive interjectional identity subdivision leads to the case for Personal Liberty.
Just say no to the collective as the eventual totalitarian control.
He is now leftist public enemy #1.
I pray for a few more like him. A big fan.
Jordan Peterson is a brilliant man. He’s one of the heroes of our age.
“(Note: Peterson was willing to address individuals by their chosen pronouns, but was not willing to be forced to do so by law.)”
Why should I “note” that? What difference does that make to the stance that he’s taking against compelled PC speech? I don’t really like the implication of that line ... that folks should be more supportive of him because absent these rules he’d voluntarally go along with using those pronouns, and by extension, one who is not inclined to support these pronouns is less deserving of being supported for taking a stand against their compelled usage.
Peterson is, above all, logical. In any argument he makes - he demonstrates the logic and causality.
He then demonstrates the illogic, contradictions (and usually the utter stupidity) of the ideas he is attacking.
Its how every talk he gives proceeds.
Post-modern emotionalism and nihilism always get exposed badly, and the left doesn’t like it, so they are trying to shut him up
My girl friend is a big fan. I bought her Peterson’s new book as reading material for her visit to her family in the Philippines.
I’m attracted to the argument that ever more divisive intersectional identity subdivision leads to the case for Personal Liberty.

If SNL hadn’t fallen to leftist orthodoxy, they could do a parody - along the lines of the old “It’s Pat” skits in which Kevin Neelan struggles to identify the gender of “Pat” through carefully phrased questions, but is always foiled. The new skit would feature a tran-so-and-so trying to lure someone into using their preferred pronoun, but the other person always manages to craft a response which does not require a pronoun.
I would appreciate it if someone could point me towards his book/books.
Thanks in advance
I just discovered this guy a few weeks ago. I’m addicted to his videos now. VERY useful and powerful. You go against him at your peril. He’s even better, in that way, than Ben Shapiro.
I’m reading his book. A bit long-winded but interesting. My son bought it without knowing I did as well. I suspect there are lot of young people desperately eating up his advice as an antidote to all the leftist cr@p they’ve been fed, especially the talk about “toxic masculinity” and “male privilege”.
If that interview with Cathy Newman was a drinking game, using him saying “that’s not what I said” as the drink trigger, you’d be under the table by the end of the interview. He was brilliant. If you’ve not seen it...

Outside of hockey, real men are hard to find in Canada.
Jordan B. Peterson is a real man.
I have so enjoyed watching him on Youtube. He’s plainly and simply honestly brilliant.
