We are blessed to have a host of WISE people in this current time. Jordan Peterson, Victor Davis Hanson, Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, Ben Shapiro, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Dennis Prager, to name a few, who aid us in understanding a host of issues in this troubled time.

[@zacksymes]

Add Peterson to Sadhguru. For one very important yet simple reason. Peterson is only telling us how to play the game, very good instructions without a doubt. But sadly, humans still need an eastern teacher to tell us what the game even is - a box top to the puzzle if you will. Peterson is God King of the west, absolutely. And Jordan is always sneaking in mysticism to a point where I sincerely wonder if he knows that he is doing it. That is to say, does Peterson realize he is becoming a true Mystic. That underlying personality trait is the easiest of reasons to understand why he leaves every other thinker on stage in the absolute dust of his wake.

[@rantsandraves8515]

My Brother Arthur and I had hours of conversation over years like this. We disagreed, argued, arrived at concensus, deduced through rational discussion and parsed topics seemingly sometimes endlessly. I appreciated and treasured those hours. We would sit, eat, walk etc. He passed away. The opportunity for discussion like this went with him in my life. Dr. Jordan Peterson brings it back. Oh if only my brother and I could tackle these topics. Thank you Doctor Peterson.

[@sliceofpai]

I was a Liberal Leftie when I first started watching you @drjordanbpeterson, I was watching one of your lectures and you said "Being conservative is something that happens to you when you get older", I thought no way will I ever be conservative, they're racist bigots. Then you helped me to wake up. Now I wouldn't say I'm Conservative or Liberal, but I value the old traditions and know they've been passed down for generations for a reason, to protect us from ourselves.

[@patientlywatching7775]

Your journey mirrors mine quite a bit. I was very liberal, even far far left at certain points in my life. Now that I understand what communism is really about, I see that I was not a morally superior person back then nor did I have any special knowledge. There is value in tradition, and who are we to question that? Especially if we don't have anything better to replace it with. Glad to see that you're awake: glad to be awake with you. 👍❤

I agree - I appreciate the extemporaneous explorations, but well polished and organized expressions are much better for certain uses. Often when I wish to explain a concept to someone, I find it useful to refer them to how it was expertly expressed by a source that aided me in my development on the subject, but this is much harder to do when the message is diluted and spread throughout snippets and scattered phrases across multitudes of casual discussions on diverse related topics.

[@needless2say723]

@@annetteabma Dr Peterson is very articulate and perhaps long winded but considering the attacks he had to endure his long and eloquent lectures require that he speak in a very specific thoughtful manner. Here are other things to consider. The best books can be read multiple times and can often bring a greater depth of understanding of the content by doing so regardless of your academic background. Whether it's parents rules for children or teachers lectures to students ( Isn't that how students achieve success on tests?) or employers policy's to employees many individuals benefit form hearing things more than once perhaps because they are more of a visual learner. I am a electrician/troubleshooter and my customers and I benefit by going over things more than once while trying to identify a problem. I am glad aircraft engineers, publishers, and detectives go over things more than once as well before drawing conclusions thinking a once over is good enough.

Just the title has me so excited to listen carefully to Jordan. Shame I wasn’t able to see him in Manchester as my daughter was sick…Dr Peterson, you answered some fundamental questions on morality and meaning for me during my mid 20’s having been lost to drugs and alcohol since age 13 after growing up in an abusive home. I was drawn to anarchism, radical left dogma as it accurately reflected my life and I was under the delusion that supporting my peers would create a large enough problem that those in power would be forced to rectify it…anyway the painful and truly traumatic life I had lived up to that point changed upon my discovery of the good Dr all those years ago. He effectively plunged his hands into the filth and dragged me from my nihilistic mess onto a road. And told me which way value, meaning and personal responsibility was. I trusted him and began my journey and my god, where I may have beeen had I not found his words I shudder to think. And now this manifesto should be taken as dead serious. This is the first person to stick out their neck to be some kind of leader or organiser or the centre right. And what a man to have at the helm!

I really wish a political party, current or future, would declare these principles as foundational to their political endeavor, doctrine and platform.

Do you ever wonder why we seem to rarely hear from voice who were born and bred and all along from a young age chose conservativism, who never had a particularly "liberal phase" as a teenager or young adult, who never blindly accepted anything about our liberalised modern world, from enlightenment principles, to modern authoritarianism in teachers and trust in science and it's supposed experts?

It’s very hard to reverse liberal decline, because everyone will think their “rights” are being taken away when we begin reinstating traditions that kept society wholesome and organically unified. But when we take power again, we gotta do it anyway. Liberalism seeks to abolish moral standards, conservatism is when a society works to preserve its values and traditions. We must conserve

The man is a clinical psychologist that has been constantly derided for “preaching” in his lectures with falsehoods and mistruths. His philosophy provides a unique viewpoint, however his political leanings are no more coherent than the boogeymen he’s created. The man’s work pre- and post-coma has been inherently reactionary, and predicated on fighting a fabricated villain.

[@SpiritualPsychotherapyServices]

leftism: Otherwise known as “progressivism” and even more inaccurately as “liberalism”, leftism is a term originating from the French Revolution of 1789, in reference to the political faction that opposed the French (so-called) king. However, the term is currently used in common discourse to describe those criminals who actively support (or at least tacitly condone) a host of OBJECTIVELY-WICKED ideologies and practices that contravenes dharma, such as non-monarchical governances and corrupt economic systems (particularly socialism, communism, fascism, and liberal democracies), egalitarianism, feminism, perverse sexuality (especially homosexuality, bestiality, and transvestism), multiculturalism, and the illegitimate abortion of innocent, defenceless unborn children. Cf. “dharma”. In the past decade or two, the mass media, especially the motion picture industry and television production companies, has been aggressively promoting all the above CRIMINAL ideologies and practices, helping to expedite the destruction of human society. Recently, large corporations have jumped on the leftist bandwagon (so to speak), in order to profit. As explicated in Chapter 11 of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, the state of being of any particular human (or any other animal for that matter) is due entirely to his or her genetic sequencing and his or her conditioning. Therefore, the explosion of the leftist/liberal mentality in recent decades, particularly in Western countries, has been caused by poor breeding strategies overtaking the more conservative tradition of mate-selection of previous centuries (and indeed, millennia). In other words, due to the fact that criminal behaviour (especially the deviant sexual acts mentioned above) has become increasingly more tolerated, condoned, and even GLORIFIED in most countries, there has been a proliferation of corrupt genetic codes within the wider human population. Unsurprisingly, the majority of leftists find it difficult to accept the fact that their criminal mentality is largely inherited (and of course, they are unwilling to acknowledge the blatantly-obvious fact that their ideologies and practices are intrinsically sinful, wicked, evil and immoral in the first place). It seems the consensus amongst leftist "intellectuals" is that every human mental trait is due entirely to one's environmental conditioning, rather than as a consequence of BOTH one's genetic sequence and one’s conditioning - a fundamentally-flawed assertion that cannot be scientifically-supported. This term was very reluctantly used in the chapter on feminism. I say “reluctantly” because it is unlikely that the term will perdure for many decades longer. This is simple logic, since, as clearly demonstrated in certain chapters in “F.I.S.H”, human civilization cannot survive with such leftist practices and ideologies in place. If you happen to be reading this Holy Scripture a century or more after its conception, you will probably be residing in a nation (as opposed to a country) ruled by a monarch, following the implosion of post-modern, decadent societies. So, either the term “leftism” will eventually become redundant and obsolete, or else, human civilization will devolve into a decadent, diseased state of existence similar to that of the prehistoric era, when the peoples of the world resided in caves or shacks, subsisting on whatever food can be sourced from the surrounding bushland. I trust that you who are reading these wise words will endeavour to influence your social circles to adhere to right-leaning ideologies, such as monarchical governance, an entirely free-market economy, sexual chastity, and all other virtuous principles. Fear not, for GOD is with you! P.S. As a general rule, it seems (at least anecdotally) that the farther left-leaning is a person, the more physically (and of course, psychologically) UGLY is that person. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to prevent leftists from propagating their mutant genes. 🤡

I have watched everything you have shared. Some/many several times trying to glean all I can. I am not an academic. I'm just a girl feeling like I've lost so much in these past few years. Finding your videos gave me strength. For likely the first time since my innocence of childhood, I reconnected with my faith. I pray not only in meditation now but find myself in thanks in my day-to-day moments. I bring my faith into my awareness/consciousness. My family was raised in the church. Movies and cultural movements/and even the church caved to contraceptives AND STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WASN'T A REAL THING. I love and appreciate your effort. How do I get you out of this echo chamber? My family of 6 siblings is divided, 4/2. I'm one of the 2. I've shared your videos, they won't or don't watch. They must not be, if they did, they would see. You present things so easily, even for me. I don't want to force my views on them. Nor do I want them to expect me to adhere to theirs. I Just want a seat at the table. I want conversation. Maybe I'm wrong. I didn't take the vax, one of my brothers is a pharmacist. I just want my family back, want to honor my parents. They would be heartbroken, and I wonder what guidance they would have been able to share. We have never been divided like this. I know you have no time to spare, and your life has been put through a meat grinder. Perhaps you could do a talk on the pain families are facing. Give some guidance.

Jordan, your actions and values are setting a precedent for young men to embrace the complexity of life. Thank you for teaching us the values and interactions behind meaning. I owe you a human thank you for now and the impending future.

[@roberthumphreys7977]

Superb summary, Jordan. I might consider adding three conservative values to the list at the risk of making it a bit longer. The three: gratitude, duty and obligation. My rationale? In a world in which responsibility, stewardship, and justice are paramount, one must be grateful to those who came before us for passing them to us, and one has a duty to pass them on to future generations through not just word of mouth but through actions. In a properly moral world, one has no choice in this endeavor; one is obligated to do it if one believes in these values. One has a duty to uphold them and an obligation to inculcate them in future generations. In other words, the list is a package deal; any value that is forgotten diminishes the whole. One does this not through words as much as through actions. Actions are the difference between those who are moral and those who pretend to be moral (in today's lingo, virtue signaling). Oh, and one should not diminish the challenge this places on citizens. These values were developed over time, and time tested, because we are not only human, we are human animals and understand that you can take the humanity out of the animal but you can't take the animal out of humanity. These values were hard won and easily lost again, as we are experiencing today, in the 21st century.

[@curtismrasmussen]

Values aren't developed, they are discovered and then elucidated, established, and fostered in a living, acting belief structure. But, one wonders why gratitude, duty, and obligation aren't on the list. I surmise it is because when one is humbly picking up and carrying the heaviest duty comprised in his or her list of moral obligations on a daily basis that the natural outcome is deep gratitude.

[@roberthumphreys7977]

@@curtismrasmussen Yes, I agree, values are discovered, which includes the test of time. I think it is primarily an empirical process, as is most of the history of human technological progress up to very recently. We may be finally at the stage where technological progress is completely decoupled from the process that generates and maintains these values.

Jordan, I would make one recommendation. I hope you see it. Record a simplified part 1. I know you are trying to be precise, and that is important, however the level of precision you have chosen is going to close the door for many who would otherwise like to hear THIS message. I like to consider myself well educated, and able to parse the English language with expert skill, yet there are points at which I have difficulty understanding. If people like myself have some difficulty, imagine the masses that crave the sort of message you are giving, but are unable to understand it at this level.

Great work! And that "a" conservative manifesto part is really genius! A simple sign of humility in the most forthright terms. I believe that humility is indeed the most important item on the list. It's the accurate assessment that you don't know all the answers, and thus always need to study (from the past), expriment (on the external world), and discuss (with other people). This is the virtue that create and maintain these vital pipelines of knowledge, making it crucial to adaption, and thus long-term survival. On the short-term, its also the virtue that fends off the "By Any Means" recklessness, which has already led to many disasters in history. PS: I was working on a writing project about a vision of "good (not "utopian", as conservatism naturally rejects that "end of history" sort of idea, but still good enough to stand the test of time) conservative society" as well, but as a sci-fi novel. You talking about how you worked on this menifesto for decades, and sped up recently makes me thinking about re-activating the project. I also feel, for a lack of better words, "vindicated", that many points I was trying to make in my novel agrees with yours (Humility, Liberty, Truth as a process, Responsibility, Community, etc). I'm sure it will be a daunting task, but also a worthy endeavor. I will need to work something out.

Awesome how you stand up for your values, for the values of liberty and individual sovereignty! I would like to stress that when every individual is free to pursue self interest, that includes the altruistic interests they have for members of their community, for people abroad, for the sick and the homeless; every value that they have. When individuals are free to pursue their interests, that includes ALL of their interests. And it is a wonderful thing. Alternatively, when individuals force their interests on others (such as through government imposition of special favours or mandated cultural or economic changes) rather than pursue those interests in a liberal framework without force, that hurts everyone. Milton Friedman pointed this out very clearly. Just thought I'd add that since the overwhelming view on the left is a narrowminded perception of people as being "greedy" and caring only about domination. People get greedy for other things though. They feel the desires you pointed out, desires for responsibility, for helping their fellow man. They get satisfaction from that. They get greedy for it. Greed is good. Self interest is good. Individuals need to be free, not subjugated in retaliation for some imaginary or real oppressive acts. The left need to understand this. They need to understand how freedom works. I know you know this, Dr. Peterson, just saying, I feel like maybe it needs to be better spelled out for those who don't understand it. I love your thoughts here. As a liberal in the classical sense, I am a huge fan. Your statements over the last few months have allowed me to appreciate the conservative view quite a bit more as well, despite my not identifying as a conservative at all.

leftism: Otherwise known as “progressivism” and even more inaccurately as “liberalism”, leftism is a term originating from the French Revolution of 1789, in reference to the political faction that opposed the French (so-called) king. However, the term is currently used in common discourse to describe those criminals who actively support (or at least tacitly condone) a host of OBJECTIVELY-WICKED ideologies and practices that contravenes dharma, such as non-monarchical governances and corrupt economic systems (particularly socialism, communism, fascism, and liberal democracies), egalitarianism, feminism, perverse sexuality (especially homosexuality, bestiality, and transvestism), multiculturalism, and the illegitimate abortion of innocent, defenceless unborn children. Cf. “dharma”. In the past decade or two, the mass media, especially the motion picture industry and television production companies, has been aggressively promoting all the above CRIMINAL ideologies and practices, helping to expedite the destruction of human society. Recently, large corporations have jumped on the leftist bandwagon (so to speak), in order to profit. As explicated in Chapter 11 of “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, the state of being of any particular human (or any other animal for that matter) is due entirely to his or her genetic sequencing and his or her conditioning. Therefore, the explosion of the leftist/liberal mentality in recent decades, particularly in Western countries, has been caused by poor breeding strategies overtaking the more conservative tradition of mate-selection of previous centuries (and indeed, millennia). In other words, due to the fact that criminal behaviour (especially the deviant sexual acts mentioned above) has become increasingly more tolerated, condoned, and even GLORIFIED in most countries, there has been a proliferation of corrupt genetic codes within the wider human population. Unsurprisingly, the majority of leftists find it difficult to accept the fact that their criminal mentality is largely inherited (and of course, they are unwilling to acknowledge the blatantly-obvious fact that their ideologies and practices are intrinsically sinful, wicked, evil and immoral in the first place). It seems the consensus amongst leftist "intellectuals" is that every human mental trait is due entirely to one's environmental conditioning, rather than as a consequence of BOTH one's genetic sequence and one’s conditioning - a fundamentally-flawed assertion that cannot be scientifically-supported. This term was very reluctantly used in the chapter on feminism. I say “reluctantly” because it is unlikely that the term will perdure for many decades longer. This is simple logic, since, as clearly demonstrated in certain chapters in “F.I.S.H”, human civilization cannot survive with such leftist practices and ideologies in place. If you happen to be reading this Holy Scripture a century or more after its conception, you will probably be residing in a nation (as opposed to a country) ruled by a monarch, following the implosion of post-modern, decadent societies. So, either the term “leftism” will eventually become redundant and obsolete, or else, human civilization will devolve into a decadent, diseased state of existence similar to that of the prehistoric era, when the peoples of the world resided in caves or shacks, subsisting on whatever food can be sourced from the surrounding bushland. I trust that you who are reading these wise words will endeavour to influence your social circles to adhere to right-leaning ideologies, such as monarchical governance, an entirely free-market economy, sexual chastity, and all other virtuous principles. Fear not, for GOD is with you! P.S. As a general rule, it seems (at least anecdotally) that the farther left-leaning is a person, the more physically (and of course, psychologically) UGLY is that person. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to prevent leftists from propagating their mutant genes. 🤡

Dear Dr. Peterson. I saw you live on stage in New York earlier this year, and am incredibly grateful for your efforts and your ability to put into words what I and so many others feel are important aspects of our experience (and thus reality) that seem to be treated with (too) little regard by many in positions of influence. That being said, I was confused and felt a growing sense of disconnection when you switched from your introductory remarks about your intention for writing and publishing this (a) manifesto to reading the actual, written piece. Trying to inquire into the source of my feelings of disconnect, I assume they stem from what I experience as a hard-to-bridge gap between what I interpreted as your desire not to use an approach of dominance (your expressly rejected the idea of this manifesto becoming propaganda), and instead voiced the desire to have this piece be taken as an invitation. The switch in intonation and style, particularly when you read the part about how those who are no longer interested in applying the principle foundations of the west are constantly demonstrating a "will to power and exploitation" -- delivered in a tone I felt left little room for contemplation and moved away from how I imagine an "invitation to consider" would sound like -- made it difficult for me to keep following the content. I would appreciate a written version, so that I can appreciate your thoughts without being distracted by what I perceive as (I imagine in your mind being) a great urgency to persuade and motivate your listeners to not only consider but agree to your manifesto. Similar to Gregg Hurwitz's plea, I am closing with what I hope will be perceived as an invitation for you: please consider the possibility that by adopting a reading style that either intentionally or incidentally creates fairly little space for the listener to "ponder" (and start from a position of curiosity as in, "is this statement true?"), this may contribute to what John Vervaeke might call reciprocal narrowing (rather than reciprocal opening as part of Dialogos).

Thank you, thank you, Jochen Weber, for saying, in kinder words than I could muster, precisely my impression of ‘the reading.’ I was floored by the harsh tone of it, which was of course adamance, as it left the impression that he was smashing my face into a pile of really good ideas.

Dr. Peterson is an excellent speaker. However, since he's simply *reading* the document to us, the format that would work better for me, and I think for many others who follow Dr. Peterson, is the text. Let us read it ourselves. Not having that option immediately at hand, I decided to watch this video on mute with CC turned on, and the video speed set at 1.5. It's not the same as having a physical copy that you can easily go back and reread some portion or underline, etc., but I still found this better than being read to. Thanks.

[@lightofthejul]

Dr Peterson, I was about 25 minutes in on the subject of truth and I completely struck by the genius of your piece ! I would first request somewhere to find a written ( hard copy ) way to have this , as keep books and paper as to have tactile evidence of human thought , intellect and spirit that the digital world can not erase ! Also then I have never been to one of your lectures but at this time I believe I need deeply to attend you in person ! Not only does listening to you automatically improve my vocabulary that tends to slip existing in a rather “ dumbed “ down world , and then too listening and absorbing your words and passion give me the hope and needed resolve to carry on with my efforts to awaken what seems to me lazy minds around me while you let me realize I am not alone ! Thank you sir ! Thank you deeply ! Your thought and intellect is such as what have been the great minds of antiquity that I have studied intensely as a historian but I rarely rarely find in my travels and studies today ! I will find a way to attend your lectures and this I believe to absorb more of your intellectual energy that is so lacking our leaders and educators now ! Thank you again !

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information, or when they interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing attitudes. The effect is strongest for desired outcomes, for emotionally charged issues, and for deeply entrenched beliefs. Jordan is encouraging you to be ever more hypocritical and carve out your own sphere of contradictory and vapid logic so that you can deny logic on the basis of "I disagree and I need someone to explain why I'm right" He's discouraging critical thinking and actual internal logic (and climate action?). He's closer to a metaphysical shaman reading goat intestines than a contributor to intellectual discourse.

[@jelleoving98]

@@foookese Idk it seems to me that Jordan is a pretty critical thinker and he wishes people out of this whirlwind of dogmatic beliefs. The point you are making is a bit unclear to me and i taste a negative undertone. Also if you have understood the video in situ, you have heard Jordan say we shoulf put aside our hedonistic tendencies and look for the future and for our children which pretty much means we should care for climate. So i dont really see the point you are making

I hope you find a good surrounding without too much confirmational bias

[@foookese]

@@jelleoving98 You're right in saying I didn't come here for intellectual discourse and that I do have a confirmation bias. Of course I do and I should know better than come to a KZbin comment section. But I do try and challenge my bias every chance I can and I try to wring out the hypocritical stagnations in my ideology at the most frequent intervals I can. Im not perfect and i never will be. Im here because this video is more than a dog whistle, it is a dog black and white T.V, I came here because I feel bad. I'm not mad at you jelle or anyone else here in the comment section. I have a lot of sympathy for these people that daily wire and jordan peterson take advantage of. He's telling you "the values that have driven society so far are just" and that it's now a systemic and relatively new moral sensibility of "culture war and basically challenging old ideas" that's rotting our system from the inside. (First off it's a pretty convenient narrative when daily wire is funded by fracking billionaires). So to get back to these points, claiming that your beliefs are based on "the long lost eternal verities" is both incredibly vague because modern conservative beliefs are in no way disconnected from society's constant and everpresent tendency to hold onto what is comfortable, known and moderate, (this is something we have done for as far back as we see culture) then to call your beliefs 'basic eternal truths' says "we've already done it, we've solved society and anyone challenging it is disturbing the balance". So then society should have been perfect prior to this and challenging the abstract traditional values of an abstract type of conservative is bad for society and petty. Ideas should be challenged so that they can be improved. I hope you can come to see that this man's whole shtick is basically "the natural falacy" which ignores history and science all in favor of solidifying your already held beliefs and to declare them as "the natural and most correct state of things". He calls his detractors people on a desolate ideology and whatever. And I know this comes from his stagnant fascination with soviet propaganda. His idea of what socialism and communism are fully stagnated in mcarthyisms. Coming from someone who has actually read Marx, I denounce the soviet union, it is something that we can study and understand in its full nuance, not just call it evil and wipe our hands. It, like all other societies had a reason to exist and reflects both good and bad parts of humanity. To generalize it still, I think it was an interesting experiment in centralization and a planned economy and quickly turned out to be a disgusting monopolization of power that did lift a number of feudalistic states into the status of global super power. It was hyper capitalistic (just like The PPC), hence its outpouring of billionaires and oligarchic dynasties. "Communism", the biggest of boogeymen in a lot of "westerner's" minds, very simply defined by Marx is a society of one class, people given according to their need and received upon according to their ability. The vast vast vast majority of people like to feel wanted, they like to feel important because of what they do and who they are, leaving them poor and blaming them for their morals is counterproductive. The homeless, the addict, has value they want to add to society, to their community, maybe just to a few people, but is stigmatized and sees nothing but obstacles in their way to fulfilling their perceived social value. If every person were given an approximate equal starting point, what excuse would we have to blame one another? What use is it to oppress someone, via ideas or systems, when the system benefits all equally and that victim of attempted oppression maintains their autonomy, agency and franchise in society. That is not the system we live in today, despite most governments and actual institutions holding power maintaining conservative or barely liberal dogma. (For instance jordan peterson argues on a platform maintained by billionaires to decry the illigitamacy of the problems of those who have no or very little agency in society, saying they are very strong forces degenerating society but also inhabit the dimmest, most wretched corners of society and their moral degredation is why they cant reach success or find franchise in society. How can they be both the disenfranchised, bitching about not having agency, and be the authoritarian cabal responsible for society as it is?). How is not global capitalism and its endless and exclusive goal of increasing profit the most mundane and barren view of the life and planet we are given? Governments for hundreds of years have been trying to regulate all the potential and real ways that people are exploited through the endless quest for personal enrichment. The "free market" did not stop child labour, it encouraged it because you pay them less and they can do work that people of larger frames cannot, hence further specializing your assembly line. Reducing human suffering and enriching the human experience are goals of the human but not of capital, it is something we are in an ever shifting battle to enforce on the systems that dictate our society and daily lives. That's what the barren ideology of the left is to me: achieving and enabling compassion, trying to make it embodied in the system of our daily lives, so that system necessarily must scrub for its contradictions to adhere to the idea of creating a more perfect union of humans, and therefore must toss out these hills to die on. Why does the scientific method not apply to society? Because it's called 'the left' or 'the enemy' in whatever form so that we get stuck in these ANCIENT jordan peterson arguments that inevitably lead to logically and historically inconsistent fighting among people that could simply be 'your fellow human' I guess lastly to exemplify: his fixation on transgenderism and identity politics is the problem with those things. These are simply people trying to live their lives the best they know how (just like everyone in this comment section) if identifying as part of "the west" or having "traditional values" makes you comfortable, then do so. What those things mean are different to everyone and unless I'm an all seeing God, able to determine what is natural and what is degenerate from that point, I have no right to define those terms for you, even though I know they're abstract, and if I'm not able to see why you identify that way, I would still care to see the content of your character, because I know I can, have and will, find much in common with every human being out there.
