I’d not heard of this essay, I’ll have to check it out. Thank you for sharing.

I completely disagree. Based off of your comment it seems that you did not absorb the article whatsoever.

There are many good examples in the article of Peterson presenting opinion as indisputable fact and obscuring ideas with complex language. Particularly when he is challenged based on those ideas.

Not to mention the examples of how he treats children and others. It is an absolutely wild read. Lengthy but eye-opening.

Edit: it also exposes how the ideas that his core philosophy is built on are simplistic at best and often flat out wrong or intentionally disingenuous.

The article above does a good job of providing many examples and a breakdown. It’s long, but worth it.

You watched 300 episodes of something you didn’t find interesting?

I’m sharing this article because it changed my perception of Jordan Peterson, and exposed him as intellectually dishonest at best and more likely a fraud artist. Starting with essentially his dissertation. It is a long read but it is incredibly well researched and written:

Because he actually says this shit out loud:

• https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1628292293173342208
• Peterson suggests “enforced monogamy” as a solution to male isolation

This is only a small fraction of the crap that this guy said with his own mouth/twitter account.

Not only does Jordan Peterson say dumb inflammatory shit, but he’s also apparently an intellectual fraud.

What does that have to do with an American bakery’s gun policy?

As a non-American trying to understand, why do you feel this policy is a little shitty?

What does that mean, practically?

I could definitely see this person being a troll. What’s wild though is that it seems the linked article was written in earnest.

What I said and what you said are not the same thing.

However, you win the gold medal for mental gymnastics.

Looking forward to reading the comments section of this article right after I finish my broken glass cocktail.

Language will evolve naturally over time. But to claim that hoping your children are intelligent/physically healthy is a form of eugenics is absurd. If QAnon was left-leaning, this is the kind of shit they would say.

You, in fact, cannot install Windows 10 on a Pentium 4.

I don’t currently use macOS, but macOS support is typically about 7 years, sometimes up to 10. Apple supports the 3 latest versions of its operating system.

Mainstream Windows support seems to be about 1-3 years.

13 people are not voluntarily going to prison to potentially sow doubt about election procedures.

Just finished the sprawl series—very fun! I would also add Altered Carbon.

FWIW this thing is nowhere near as powerful as a modern iPad. Different universes.

Look into Darwin BSD and the Mach kernel. Still alive and kicking.
