@@freedomofspeech2867 Well first off I've actually been defending Jordan in this comment section. Secondly, saying that my behaviour is 'so fucking white' (ignoring the two prior replies my comment was imitating) is an example of a prejudice against a race, and therefore textbook racism. Thirdly, objectivity is a concept entirely generated within the human mind. Your entire perception of the world is subjective, which is why the primary crux of all philosophy is 'I think therefore I am'. At the base of all assumptions is the belief in the self. Besides from that, I do actually like a lot of what Jordan says, and the majority of criticism against him I've seen has been fairly nitpicky or not even criticism against him, but against an individual's perception of his ideas. He's not a perfect man by any standards. Both the Bible and the literal definition of the word define the impossibility of perfection. He has also said things that I disagree with, however I still believe he is a good man, and a pretty great clinical psychologist. Try not to approach arguments with the standpoint of insulting your opponent. Jordan himself says that if you insult everyone who disagrees with you, you can't accept anyone to change their mind.

A couple of years ago, I heard of a concept called "optimistic nihilism." In layman's terms, it means life is meaningless, and humanity's existence serves no greater purpose, so you might as well spend your life enjoying it and making the world a better place for others. That's basically how I operate.

[@jaketaz2848]

[@FunnyAnimatoFilms]

Well, there's still an ideology in there somewhere, isn't there? If you want to make the world a better place, that means that there is some target to work towards. So the question moves away from an existential problem to a social problem. What does the world look like that you want to leave behind? That's driven by ideology.

[@sarahdynasty]

Came here year ago with a foggy mind and a deluded, close-minded attitude, that only made me think of a way to disagree with you, now I am really listening to what you are saying and picking up the concepts and their technical definitions. You are one of those KZbinrs who actually know what they are talking about.

[@Pspet]

Don't regard everything Oliver says as correct, and don't regard everything Peterson says as correct. Oliver actually misunderstands some of Peterson's points Two examples: At 14:30 the argument is flawed. Oliver claims that the uniform of the police can be a symbol of chaos for many people, and although this is certainly true, his use of the word chaos has little to do with Peterson's use. 15 seconds before, he literally read his definitions of the abstract symbolisms of chaos and order, and it says that extreme order can become tyranny. That's what the uniform of the police can be, not chaos, especially not if you take into consideration Peterson's symbolic use of the word chaos. Also about the conflicting terms of post-mordenism and Marxism that Oliver says he uses interchangeably, this is not really the case. Firstly he never says Marxism, but neo-Marxism. He also says too that they are fundamentally contradicting terms. The communist manifesto and Marxism described history as a constant oppression from the economically powerful to the economically weak and he argues that people weren't buying that idea anymore from a point onwards, so the story changed to oppression of one identity group to another, in general. He basically hates the "identity politics" that "these people" play, and their focus on group identity over personal identity, which as far as I am concerned, is a very very valid point.

[@ilikehoodies1658]

@@Pspet but I’m just wondering what he means by personal identity? When he is implying that order is tribe, religion, health, home, and country, I’m assuming that he is supporting order although it can be tyranny. But most of the things he said that are “order” can be seen as group identities, as the very nature of home, tribe, religion, and country is just very collective. Isn’t he contradicting himself?

[@Johnny.Fedora]

​@@Pspet, Peterson's fundamental problem is that his public persona is that of the self-important pseudo-intellectual prick, but he uses terms in an ambiguous, self-serving and *hypocritical* way. So, it's automatically worthy of hate if you use a term that is a de facto or de jure term imposed by society? A small number of people own the vast majority of human society's wealth. Is it bad to cite that group, that plutocracy, as a group, or is that bad form, and we really ought not make Peterson mad? He classifies while railing at the idea of classification. I'm no Marxist, but I have a basic grasp of the concept. Peterson seems not to, regardless of his bullshit "neo-marxism" term. I don't know whether he really doesn't, or he just says what he thinks is coherent with his overarching philosophies, or if he just serves up what he thinks will sell, or whether after so many years, he's come to believe his own nonsense. And he doesn't seem to have the slightest clue what "post-modernism" is. Does he have the slightest idea how badly he misunderstands? Does it even matter in the internet age? Ker-ching, man. Ker-ching. After listening to a number of Peterson's lectures, I don't feel the least bit edified -- at least, not from the lectures. This guy is a waste of time. You'd be far better served reading Nietzsche. Or a Timothy Snider book. Or even Toynbee. Or petting a cat.

[@jrniga1]

@@Johnny.Fedora "Or petting a cat" -- 🤣🤣🤣, indeed

[@Shilpa_Kujur]

@@Pspet Well, the first argument may sound flawed because he of the example. But because you haven't mentioned, I am led to believe that you think that he is correct about "Walls of the City". The argument holds up enough. Like he said, even Jordan Peterson has said that we see things in a subjective sense so two people can see the same things differently. So Order and Chaos, whether we like it or not, are relative.

Objective reality is the inevitable pain people can't overcome once they become a postmodernist. Of course, not everybody is like that. There are people who will die happily knowing that they have only deconstructed what is great. You say postmodernism and marxism are incompatible, and you are right. JP even acknowledged that. But still, if one of them is liked, so is often the other. Both are opposing the same ideas, this is what they have in common. They are both weapons made to destroy the same thing. JP also acknowledges that there is a really strong argument for moral-relativism, but points out that the motivation behind these are to get rid of responsibility, which fits perfectly with your suggestion to stick with hedonism. It's the motivation behind the argument that tells you the important things. And the feeling of pleasure you'd get from hedonism would be so fleeting, even if you'd delay gratification, you couldn't last another cold winter, if you had it tough. (I assume you don't have it tough, but everyone will have it tough sometimes) So yeah, I'll stick with Peterson. I'm not gonna' tell people how to live their lives, but I am so greatful that JP exists. As someone who didn't grow up with a father, he is my most important role model. And so is he for many others. If that doesn't make it real or objective, then I don't know what does. It's a great virtue to have, and I respect everyone who takes responsibility.
