@An On Through the wonderful math of ratio calculation can you show that there are more non-homeless people you better not to want to hang out with. Of course, you have deep insights into the structure of that particular group, but you do just that what is said above. You judge them disconnected from all other people and only inside of their group. Is this valid? All the problems and illnesses you mentioned are not specific to this group of people. But the accumulation of "bad behavior" or the drugs?. For example, what do you expect if you open a sales booth with dandruff shampoo. And for blonde people only for one dollar. Which people do you expect to gather there? I do not want to belittle your experience or your report. But you cannot speak for everyone. That would also be problematic as homeless people rarely travel the world and collect statistics. I think "homeless" is once again such a laziness term, since everything else is inadmissible and should be viewed as individual fates. The solution also needs more than generalizations. Namely money, money, money and social(workers). Besides, definition is one of those things. For example, my country simply defined the gypsies as homeless. And since these were also viewed as worthless, they were simply killed. That was the Nazis' solution. That can happen very quickly. In 10 years. There are quite some people these days who think that way. And which group is now defined as worthless? Blonde with dandruff? Sorry for bringing up that shit from 80 years ago. Stay healthy, warm and fit:)

[@SplotchTheCatThing]

I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking. The real meaning behind it seems to be "you're not listening to me", with a spin put on to make it sound like not being listened to is some kind of an injustice being done to him, rather than a choice anyone else in the world has the agency and ability to make. It's manipulative sort of language because the intended effect of all that is to make it seem like making the choice to ignore what this person has to say would put you morally in the wrong. And I wonder if, for some people, that effect would make a person saying phrases like "I'm being silenced" instead of "some people don't want to listen to me" more likely to seem like they're *right* regardless of what they're actually saying.

[@jrd33]

"I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking." -- No, but they may have the power to stop people hearing what Peterson has to say. For example, protesters at his talks. Peterson himself has been pretty effective at being heard, but there are plenty of people like him who have been silenced effectively because of their views.

If you lack the energy to do it, telling someone that he has to only piles up more reasons for them to feel like a failure. The mental health crisis is caused by our economic model. Peterson tries to pin it on individual failure and minorities getting rights, so nobody will critize the true cause.

For brief moments I see things I have never seen before. And will never see again. It’s. Interesting. I am also studying law. My approach to law specifically has been really rewarding as I get a lot of compliments on my ability to approach the same Subject from Many sides. The couch example is interesting. Had you not said “couch” and merely shown the sides I wonder how many people may have thought love seat or chair before landing on couch. Our experiences are so varied as humans. Alas.

@@OntologicalCatastrophe I, as a dyslexic, found that if I engaged with the text as if I am debating against it I could retain more and have a better understanding. To truly be able to understand a position you have to be able to tear it into little pieces. The funny part is that you eventually realize that every position has its weaknesses and everyone is wrong in some way even the nihilists. That is when you realize the best course of action is to pick and choose what you think is the best and produces the best results and move forward from there. I hold very libertarian views because I want people to be able to do their own thing the way they want to do it and I want to be able to my thing the way I want to do it. I like talking about solutions I think are better but recognize in terms of philosophy, ethics, and politics there are very rarely any right answers. I disagree with this channel on pretty much every ethical and philosophical ground yet her view points are valid and her lifestyle choices are her choices. I think they are wrong but I can not demonstrate that they are wrong. So the best way forward in my opinion is we talk, try to understand each other perspectives learn from each other what we can learn and let each other live our lives the way we want. This is why, here in America, I dislike both political parties, they are both trying to control how we live our lives. The Right is filled with people trying to legislate religion to the nation, and the Left is filled with people that demand their way of life be accepted as objectively good, healthy, moral, and right. Makes me want to say things that will get the message flagged. TLDR: Debate against everything to gain a deeper understanding of it. Live and let live. The Right and The Left are both messed up morality enforcing tyrants.

I've watched this video many times and absolutely love it. I also learnt a lot from it. But I think this time around, something stuck out to me which I will type (I just want it for my reference) - I don't think the desire for objective truth comes from the desire to be right alone. Yes, "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right" is ONE reason... but also, it comes from the fundamental human urge to avoid chaos. The line of reasoning goes "If there's no objective truth, there is no metric to measure anything" [what things person wants to measure says a lot about their value systems]. For me, it is then "how do I even know where I am when there is no frame of reference? I guess it could be framed as the search for a "correct" frame of reference, but ultimately, wonky ruler better than no ruler - i just need a metric. I need things to mean something. There has to be an objective truth. I guess my main critique of the statement "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right", is that it reads as "these people are afraid to be wrong - very egotistical of them" - and I think it is more desperate than that. I actually appreciate that the self-help section comes next, because that is a lot of the reason why people like Jordan Peterson. I personally don't - but i get the appeal. Not having an objective reality causes me great anxiety.

[@Kfroguar]

I think there's also an element of feeling your identity threatened. Our ideologies are often very tied up in our identities, especially when it comes to ideology rooted in religion, ethnicity, nationality, etc. Unless it is approached delicately in a safe setting, it's easy for someone who is already stressed and tired to get angry about what they perceive as a questioning of their core values and identity. Most people already struggle to live up to their own ideals of morality and success, so hearing someone questioning the objectivity of those ideals can be very emotionally difficult. That's no excuse for being cruel or engaging in bigotry, of course. And questioning can be incorporated into an ideology-- iirc Judaism has a particularly beautiful tradition of challenging its own beliefs. But I think it's worth understanding why people have these reactions on a human level.

And an obvious unwillingness to actually learn about them. But like they say (and im paraphrasing here), it’s hard to get someone to understand something, when their livelihood depends on misunderstanding it. I first heard about it through a Caelan Conrad video on YT. Then when I looked into it further, it seems he has admitted to not having seen a patient professionally since 2017. I can’t really post links cause YT will generally nuke the comment, but here’s an excerpt from an article: ‘Shortly before Jordan Peterson decided he couldn’t be both a media personality and a practicing psychologist at the same time, he cancelled sessions with patients, later claiming illness, while maintaining an appointment to appear on television; he responded to messages from patients with auto-reply emails which brought up the challenges of his burgeoning fame, directing recipients to send argumentative emails to his ideological opponents; he employed his wife to sort through emails from patients without first asking for their consent; he shared potentially identifying information about patients with other patients; and he twice visited the restaurant where Samantha worked, returning after she had implored him not to, having seemingly forgotten that she worked there’. You can copy and paste the text above or just google variations on ‘Jordan Peterson abandoned patients’ and there’s a few articles. Again, can’t confirm or deny it’s true, which was why I said allegedly. Like, not saying the man hasn’t got some merits. Some people clearly get a lot out of his old lectures. But like, ignoring all the above, he had taken a massive shift to the right wing in recent years, seemingly because it’s extremely lucrative.
