RE: Why Jordan Peterson's Work Matters.
A couple things.
Lenin, Mao and Stalin may have been atheists. But they didn't get there alone. They were carefully prepared for those positions much like the politicians and dictators are today. They are figureheads or puppets for a much more powerful group that doesn't care for the spotlight.
Can we really take ques on ethics from a guy that doesn't even recognize the state as unethical?
People are hungry for something real because they've been steered so far from it. It's pretty clear the system is molded by the elite and the method they have embraced is called Cultural Marxism. They've clearly taken the institutions. He may have noticed the symptoms but I'm not even sure he's even recognized the larger picture.
I'm not a critic of what he's suggesting, he is pointing out what should be obvious. I give him credit for standing up but I'm so far he's talked some of the talk, there's quite a bit to go before he's identified this is another rabbit hole.
I don't know how much you've listened to his work, but i get the sense that not enough. Because he is strong on both points you brought up. critisizing the state and cultural, marxism. Is he an anarchist? probably not yet, def a minarchist or liberitarian though.
but that's a matter of time in a way tho, lately im disappointed with anarchists. Crypto anarchy is the best thing they have going. Otherwise they are kind of irrelevant.
Peterson is exactly what we need right now. He is a multi-disciplinary genius, and he has his finger on the pulse of popular culture. And he very purposefully chose to frame his critique of social marxism and SJWs and feminists and postmodernism with the beautiful frame of evolutionary science. He is a fisher of men, and his net is the Logos disguised as anarchy. Young men, especially atheist or agnostic, are literally flocking to him.
so true. :)
Thanks for the upvote, juansgalt. Just to let you know, (and I'm not follow-begging) :) my first reason for posting here was to spread the word about Dr. Peterson. I have a few threads started, but only being here 1 month, no traction on them.... I want discussions to take place here, because there are souls to harvest here :)
Check out my blog for a few more articles... we need all the Peterson followers to stay tight on steemit :)
Lol let the soul harvesting begin. xD
Ill check out your blog, Tnx Thomas.
You might be expecting him to be your Messiah. That's not gonna happen. He'll just tell you to clean your bloody room.
Not looking for a Messiah, Just standing up for the good.
I was talking to mikeonfire
gotcha
yeah. the argument here is that the scientific refolution and the death of god spread accross the east taking out their medieval moral structures and turning them to communist nihilism. Hence the soil was fertile for populist authoritarian take over.
Statistically speaking. There's always some dude smart enough and fucked up enough to talk his way to the top.
Who does not think the state is unethical? Peterson? I see him critique the state regularly.
