Jordan Peterson: You'd be a fool to believe this

[@mriccardi825]

I live in NY and worked in NYC for decades, taking the subway daily. Over those years I broke up fights, got involved trying to help people or de-escalating violent situations and had weapons pulled more than once (never a gun thank goodness). These days, aside from the fact I am old and out of shape, I don't think I would ever get involved. Criminals are treated like victims and Samaritans are treated like criminals, meanwhile victims are ignored. I would be too afraid these days I'd end up in cuffs. I won't even visit NYC any more and honestly that is really upsetting to me.

When I first discovered him, I suppose about eight years ago now, I never imagined how much I would, most gratefully, rely upon his brilliant, philosophical, and endlessly thought-provoking perspectives. Whether it was portions from interviews (as both interviewer, but principally, as the interviewee), media appearances, public talks and discussions, or segments of his great many classroom lectures, I have, learned so much about the human mind, relationships, family, human development, psychology, sexuality, society, culture, faith/religion, history, politics, government, tyranny, freedom, inequality, Marxism, addiction, human suffering, et al. I mean, in other words, pretty much about EVERYTHING. I understand this world we live in a hell of a lot better thanks to this man, who I would say is, quite handily, not just the West's, but the ENTIRE world's, foremost and greatest intellectual and thought-leader. He is absolutely, positively--and most incomparably--brilliant, and I am truly grateful for his contributions to, as I like to call it, "The 21st Century Conversation".

It sounds nice, but I don't think it's true in real life. People are rational actors. If events repeatedly show us that our actions are going to result in blame and retribution for us, then eventually we won't act. Example: It's known and provable that criminals are deterred by harsh legal penalties; why not heroes too? Heroes aren't idiots, and real life isn't a superhero movie. Guys are supposed to risk getting stabbed or shot in an altercation with a criminal, AND THEN ALSO risk getting hauled off to jail because they are the wrong skin color vis-a-vis the criminal?

Sorry Mr Peterson this one time where you are wrong. I am one of the many who will not travel or set foot in deep blue states like New York or California. It is because it is not safe from their tyrannical government who is more dangerous than the criminals they leave on the streets. People are terrified to do the right thing in those and other deep blue states as they will get in more trouble defending themselves and others than the actual criminals. You should really be more of an expert on this as you spent more time in Canada than I did I left when I was 20 that was 35 years ago and Canadians have never had the right of self protection and Canadians don’t protect others for fear of being arrested.

Where exactly was he wrong ?

[@user-ot9tg1mr6u]

@ that people will not change their behavior for fear of being arrested. The Daniel Penny affect. He is wrong on that. That is already been proven. People have stopped stepping in to help because you get in more trouble helping in deep blue states than the criminals who are committing the actual crimes.

There was a cartoon depicting a homeowner catching a burglar. The crook says : "If that gun isn't registered, you're in more trouble than I am." (True in blue states).
