I don't consider Jordan Peterson to be a religious conservative. He doesn't take religious theocracy from a literal perspective. Based on his interviews, he's too smart to be pigeon-holed by today's extreme left and right dichotomy. I think he offers a pathway forward for those in the traditional center without all the vitriolic labeling and certainly without the divisive identity politics evident in North America today.

What's wrong with Authoritarianism? Why does the individual matter? The state should come before the individual, no?
Freedom of speech is a pretty useless right. How many persons truly have anything to say? Speech should only be free insofar as it benefits the state. That's what the United States believes in. You can say whatever you wish, as long as it's in line with what we want.
To whom? People who have nothing to say? The only people afraid of having their speech censored are traitors to the nation. The (Fascist) Roman Empire, Naploleon, Communists and both the Italian and German Fascist parties had this right!
Nope. In the military the concept of free speech is anathema precisely because allowing everyone to say what they would; would destroy the order and cohesion of a troop, battalion etc...
We're 'talking' about the most ridiculous things today. Like toilets in places of education. Pick one and STFU. You can't stand men? What's new? Don't understand women? What's new?
Freedom of speech is seriously overrated.
We are talking about ridiculous things because it is easier than worrying about the massive debt piling up by governments. The new generation who have never worked and still live in mom's basement have all the answers to clean up the world and make it a better place, not in the future but right now.
Patron,
Very good point about the high cost of living in NYC. The high end semi-pro circuit in NYC is filled with ladies seduced by the opportunities and glamour of NYC, with dreams of working on Broadway, or as dancers or actresses or models. Many end up in jobs that simply don’t get the rent paid so they end up working at MPs, or they become semipros through Seeking Arrangements or very private bookers with their own approved clients. Around 6 or 7 years ago I met a Eurobabe, a girl whose European father was somehow involved in an importing business in NYC. She had come to NYC to visit him, and actually became seduced with the club scene in NYC. She decided to stay and along with some friends rented an apartment in Williamsburgh. She seemed to have some vague aspirations of being an event planner, but wasn’t finding enough income to support the booze, the parties and the rent. This girl seemed to have encyclopedic knowledge of NYC clubs. I hadn’t heard of many of them. I suspect she was clubbing in part to party but also in part to meet Sugar Daddys. There are literally thousands and thousands of young girls like this in NYC, wannabes with the hopes of making it big somehow, but along the way realizing that to dream in the Big Apple is an expensive dream. And trying to figure out how to make it. I kind of feel sorry for them because I always meet them after reality has set in and they are struggling to make it.

Jeez, you guys still talking Peterson?
He is undeniably the "dumb's person smart man".

He's truly a walking, talking rorschach test.

^^^^^ Not into Peterson's books at all, just agree with his stance on climate change, IMO he is correct, money ( taxes ) will not change it.
Yes, what an idiot. Why, who could have a problem with the all those gender neutral pronouns that the Canada wants to make legally binding? They are so helpful. He also bad mouths the institution of Communism which all the intellectuals at the university rightfully know has taken an unjust bad rap and should be given another go for the sake of the poor workers of the world.

Let me remind you all that the Gender Neutral Pronoun "Fucker" has been the only GNP used by the United States Marine Corp since 1775.

^^^^^^^^ I recognise myself as a 25 yr old lesbian who is into pillow fights and various oral activities.
I think one of our liberal cohorts described Jordan Peterson as banal on another thread. Perhaps.
Some of us might say it's obvious there are only two genders. What kind of a revelation is that? It's not just what Peterson says, but how he says it. It's clear, precise and well-thought out. More to the point, Peterson's words offend many on the Far Left, many on campuses and many in media. If you want to reject ideas and prevent their advancement, you're going to have to offend.
Why does the New York Times ignore Peterson's book sales and leave his book off their Best Seller List? Isn't this a form of censorship? To engender such an ugly reaction makes me think he's accomplishing something few have been able to do to date. He threatens the Far Left's identity politics movement and drives them crazy.
When he stood up against Bill C-16 and for free speech, he did not know that he wouldn't suffer consequences. He could have lost his position at the University of Toronto. The protests of students and some faculty against his views actually put him on the map. As he said, the more people protested the more books he sold. The more he was in demand to give speeches.
He has become a pop culture phenomenon. But rather than criticize a pop-rock band like Nickelback or an author like Jordan Peterson, I admire anyone who can sell that many albums or in Peterson's case books. The critics gonna hate, hate, hate.

I've had it with all this Jordan Peterson hating. Do you think this makes you cool with the cool kids at school?

BTW - The NYTimes isn't censoring him. Their list is based on books published in the US only. Due to Penguin deciding to publish it through their Random House Canada imprint it doesn't qualify.
This is, admittedly, kind of a stupid thing and basically a technicality. But it isn't a leftist conspiracy.
The fact you think
