Jordan Peterson is the Man. He speaks the truth and I would encourage every man to watch some of his YouTube videos (not just the ones where he destroys lefty feminists, but the ones where he's teaching classes).
I honestly don’t understand the level of hatred people have for Jordan Peterson. I don’t personally agree with absolutely everything he says, but the things he says generally tend to be quite reasonable. It seems like the crux of his argument tends to be that avoiding things that we’re afraid of doesn’t allow us to grow as people and that we need to suck it up and accept that pain is part of life sometimes. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Yet, so many people act like he’s worse than Hitler. I don’t get it.
he often speaks the truth, even when it's unpleasant.
he says things like 'clean up your room.' Last night he said that the responsibility goes with people's rights (which he's said many times previously). People like having rights, responsibilities not so much.
He often points out errors in people's thinking, which also does not make you popular.
I though it was great when he said to Dyson- Let's assume that white privilege plays a part in my success. How much is responsible and what exactly can I do to discount it? Is it 5%, 10%... etc. Here he was willing to take responsibility and thus willing to pay for his whiteness, but to who and in what amount?
He is not a fan of identity politics. He is not fan of feminism, and I agree. What about the divide between tall people and short people? Studies have shown that tall people earn more for doing the same job as short people. Slim people and fat people, beautiful people and not beautiful people, etc....
I think it was Dostoevsky or Tolstoy who said Everyone wants to change the world but no one wants to change themselves.
