I noticed this too. If I disagreed with someone on the right, I was wrong. If I disagreed with someone on the left, I was a terrible, pathetic person who needed to be censored.

[@bryanhawkins9418]

Because the left identifies as the group that “truly cares about people.” So naturally if you disagree with them, you’re simultaneously “not caring about people.”

My grandfather is a conservative fundamentalist Christian, and in my opinion, undiagnosed autistic. He sees the world in black and white, no middles. He can't seem to comprehend that difference in perspective exists. I think both ends of the political spectrum can be wild, when they are followed by wild people. I myself am very conservative, but in his mind I'm just another tree-hugging hippy. Both sides of politics are equally capable of thinking in boxes, and being close minded.

​@@Shambagawhat do you mean by "there's nothing equivalent to that from the left" ? Didn't you read what the original comment said? When you disagree with the left you get cancelled. The people on the left are basically saying "if you don't agree with me then you deserve to die"

I never saw myself as either a conservative or a liberal. It wasn’t until I started voicing my opinions that society automatically placed me in the conservative box. I find this to be true for many people because I’ve seen a lot of people who’ve written about similar experiences.

[@breakawaybooks4752]

Conservative and Liberal, Left or Right, are purposefully false dialectics. The only paradigm that matters is the Individual vs the Collective.

[@ChaoticNeutralMatt]

I was conservative, but kinda drifted towards the middle/left in some issues. Still would be classified as conservative which is interesting with the plenty of disagreements I have. Politics is oddly treated as black and white when it's really not. Rather it's black and white, and everywhere in between.

The problem, as I see it, too, too many people don't know how to still themselves...know how to truly listen. For any discussion to have worth and synergy, there has to be the open willingness to listen to other ideas. Otherwise, the participants are only hearing their own respective voices and nothing else.

[@oooof6861]

I agree to a point. Intending hate, fear, and manipulation will never lead to a strong culture. Free speech is like individual cells in a human body interacting with each other. You’re free to express anything that won’t harm the whole body, but of course there’s cancer cells whose ‘speech’ does nothing but kill the patient. Consistent poisonous speech is death to any cultural organization.

[@stuartbritton4811]

Someone recently wrote to me that he thinks freedom means the right to get rid of someone who who is considered a menace. He used it in the context of your home or business as he said it's part of the US Constitution. I suppose that's why they popped off Jesus.

[@smokingcrab2290]

Correct. Anyone claiming anything they don't like is "hate speech" is essentially saying "i have such a monopoly on morals that I can decide what you can and can't say, and you have no say in that. Your morals are invalid and mine are superior" and where does that get you?

[@scottbaker5998]

It's not so much pathetic as it is frightening. So many companies and organizations are adopting DEIB departments in order to give the workforce the warm fuzzies that their opinions will be heard and that they will be respected and welcomed as a vital part of the organization. These soon evolve into the same restrictive barriers and chains which are mentioned here which suppress creativity, personal freedom and free expression. Anyone outside of the LGBTQ+ cabal and the climate change alarmists are ferreted out, labeled, and segregated from the rest of the workforce, which accomplishes the exact opposite from what the DEIB department was designed to do. These excluded employees are labelled as dangerous and unwelcomed for not fitting into the new "inclusive" values of the company, and eventually asked to leave.

[@bandziarang9952]

im generally curious - what do you mean with traditional values being productive and virtuous? i feel like just now do people get a chance to behave accordingly with their true selves. How would traditional values in practice be better for everyone when historically it has never been the case? Despite many flaws with current social system (like the raising stratification) it has literally never been better for the masses (both materialistic and moral wise). I am talking about the western world ofc

[@bandziarang9952]

although i have not experienced communism myself, i too am from a post soviet country so those ideas are close and ever surrounding the debate. Capitalism indeed makes people "richer" but it obviously has its limits, which are taking shape right now - westerners can enjoy the riches of capitalism at the sake of slave labour across the globe, which sooner or later will be cut short (climate change and mass exploitation of the earth might play a huge role - mass climate migrations are about to start). What's more the distribution of wealth is getting more and more unequal, proving that the rich get richer, but it does not neccesary mean that the poor get their piece of the cake (even on national scale, not to mention worldwide). Long story short - global capitalism does not balance itself, despite what theoretics assumed for years. This being said, i had the idea that we were talking more about cultural changes, not economical ones, I am all for personal freedom of expression, based on tolerance and i think that conservative values only benefit the majority that wont stand out - and the core of democracy is to follow the majority, but consider the minority (otherwise it would be tyranny of the many)

Sick of music from the 2000's onwards, I took up the harmonica. For a small musical item its helped me emotionally, physically and mentally. And still does. I just have to use my breathe..... And I'm away.

It's not a surprise that Dr. Peterson has moved to a more traditional view on certain subjects because his world is to heal, and healing is a matter of steering people to what works, what is reliable, what has long term success, what has been learned to be true. THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE CONSERVATIVE! Learn what works and "conserve" it. And on the point of the cultural orthodoxy, what is very telling to me is that ideologies with NO history of a proven truth or workable, or even right (ie. the many thousands of people who have gone through transition and are regretting that choice) is pushed out as if this is absolute, correct or even workable and ANY debate is immediately shut down. That is the style of the Nazie's, the Soviet Communists, or Mao's China, or North Korean leadership. Push it so fast no one has the chance to say "hey, wait a minute. Does this make sense?".

And how the Old Ideas especially the Monarchy could still work under the new religion. Then the Rebutable of that in the 1600s with John Locke . What is known as Classical Liberalism Locke drawing from his Calvinist roots . To promote that the State didn't need to Govern religion . And that All People are created equal under God and therefore all are Equal under the Law. Refutes Divine -Right of the Monarchy or a institution Such as the Church .

[@ConfusedDesigner2171]

There are two interesting factors; liberals these days appear to be really high in neuroticism as well as really low in conscientiousness, combine that with high openness and you end up with an explosive mixture. They are really creative at creating enemies that aren't there and feeling bad because of whatever their brain can concoct, like not being called the right pronouns, then add a no discipline on top to create a massive frustration because they lack the discipline to get out of their personal hell. I'm really high in openness and the reason why I started consuming conservative media it's because they are willing to discuss ideas which is highly entertaining and nurturing for my personality, unlike liberals that, as Rolf said, have been saying the same thing for years, for people that are high in openness it gets exhausting, and that's something that should be pointed out, they aren't doing anything creative at all, it means they are willingly throwing themselves into an emotional abyss and the only "solution" they've found is to grasp as hard as they can to this ideology that gives them everything they are lacking; purpose, creativity in how they identify and present themselves, and a place where they can feel safe.

I consider myself to be relatively fundamental in my Christian faith (I avoid the term 'fundamentalist', because I don't understand the 'accepted' definition at this time of history). I think the reason partly that Peterson can have robust debates with those who have a fundamental view of their faith is that : 1. We tend to debate rigorously amongst ourselves, from scriptures to society. We often disagree, but we realise, for the most part, it must still be done in love and with a sense of fairness. 2. There is room for debate within our faith, so to listen to, and debate others, is a natural expression of ourselves. 3. If we are sincere, we know we are required to love those we disagree with. If they are unsaved, we recognise that the souls of the unsaved are precious to God - for we were also once unsaved - people have intrinsic value to God.

I think it's important to become bilingual between the languages of thought and feeling. Thought is a cold, exacting scalpel. You use it when you have something very specific to say, usually at the risk of being parochial and pedantically over-fixated on the wrong things. Feeling, by contrast, is a hot, thunderous hammer. You use it when you have something very general to say, usually a value you want to express and champion. Feelings are expressed often at the risk of oversimplifying the world, thereby leading to an inability to ever make real progress in dialogue with one's opposition. So there's a push and a pull going on here. We often start from the broad intuitions of our feelings, and then try to get at any deeper reasons that might justify those feelings using our reason. When this relationship is toxic, we enslave reason to our passions, relegating it to the role of daily confirmation bias. When this relationship is healthy, we begin a dialogue between our reason and our passions, where reason accepts its liability to become pretentious and pedantic, and the passions accept their liability to paint in such large brushstrokes that all the important complexity of the world is washed out.

I 100% agree that it’s annoying to watch every word. It’s also annoying when things are renamed because they apparently use offensive language. The most recent example in my domain (software engineering) was a version control system (called Git) that renamed the “master” branch to “main”. Now, I wouldn’t really object to that if it wasn’t for the _reasons_ they did it. Saying the word “master” is offensive because of slavery is outright stupid. I remember someone asking in a programming language forum if they rename the master branch as Git intends. The overwhelming answer was: “No, this is just a political plot.” I was so happy to see reasonable people not falling for a loud-minority demand.

Any single word, any action, even a look or body language... _anything_ can be perceived as a threat to them. To me this comes across as dramatically infantile.

Artificial Conundrum Values are hard to overlook when it comes to the potential of someone being a friend. Next would probably be beliefs because both of these determine how a person acts in the world. And these two things can’t lie because the action will be incongruent with the professed values/beliefs. Social avatars are artificial and they’ll lead to artificial trust, artificial friendships…on and on as the future unfolds. There’s not much balance in the online world. That’s why we see fringe ideas sweeping social media like fire but when they manifest in the real world, those fringe ideas tank at the box office, tank corporations, and basically devour themselves (you saw this coming). They took on an artificial life which had no real world value. Selah. Many things can act as a substitute for the real thing. I think that poses some amount of danger. What's the plumb line and will it be tainted with untruths as well? They're saying now that the government needs to implement checks and balances for what's real and what isn't - God help us all if that's the case. Artificial Intelligence is altogether a different kind of beast that spews half truth, half lie and it will not discern properly for you which it’s speaking; and what part of the truth is a lie, and what part of the lie is truth is unknown. It’s the serpent in the garden whispering in the human's ear, ‘Surely, you will not die’… It spoke a half-truth. But doesn't that, like leaven, make the whole lump a lie? Friendship cannot be properly cultivated over social media, in my opinion. We forge allies - which in turn have the potential to become friends if taken into real world contexts. I could be wrong about this. True relationship/friendship is reciprocal but also observational - real world observation not digital observation. Regardless, if it’s easy to walk away, you don’t have much. If a relationship is easy to maintain, ask yourself what exactly you have, and what that person wants from you. Chances are, if you are putting in no effort, but you consider them a great friend, they have other intentions or ulterior motives in mind. Or that person is really a good person but you’re displaying narcissistic traits. Because that’s the only kind of relationship a NP wants; zero effort but all the love, praise and attention with no challenge or criticism. Artificial life is online, but ‘they’ will go to great lengths to change our mind about that, to accept it as the most real thing. They will even - eventually - change the name ‘artificial intelligence’ so as to mask the lie. An image behind the image. It will be renamed Super Intelligence or something of the like. “The Singularity has happened, we no longer have artificial intelligence but a new species of Super Intelligence!” When AI has gained rights by law, ‘artificial’ will be a hate crime to speak, punishable in a court of law.

Here's a great example of freeing yourself. Once you understand that the "State" and "Government" are just words created by people, coming into mundane manifestations by people helps free people sometimes with their thinking that they are slaves to other people's thinking. If you don't care if you are going to get what people call "Cancel Cultured" by another individual, then you have power. If you have greater knowledges like martial arts, how to discern and critical thinking skills, knowing the laws and how to use them, communication skills and many others, then you can use them on others who try to implement their so-called "Will" upon you. Some may say you have to abide, cause I'm the "State." You take that person to court and see how fast their I'm the "State" nonsense is going to hold up in court if they are breaking laws. Big thing is you can't be afraid of other people's nonsense, narcissistic ideologies/thinking and cancel cultureing. You take the bull by the horns and say what you want, be what you want, do what you want without doing harm and don't be afraid if others are offended.

The artist who attends to the universal won't be so stifled by the "correctness" as those who only operate within superficialities. The standard for what is classic never changes. Whatever works survive through the obstacles -- and maybe also whichever obstacles survive the tests of those works that might prove classic -- will hopefully prove universally relevant. Like a sonnet: freedom within constraint. The universal truth will prevail(we should hope).

I believe balance is the key to harmonic relationships. Yin and Yan. Very simple design but harboured deep philosophy and wisdoms. I will be a student of that until the day I died.

One source of problems is people trying to live like they see people doing in movies and other fictional works. Fictional stories require subject matter, so they have to have conflict inserted and usually some kind of romantic relationships and a lot of exaggerated emoting. So everyone in society sees in those fictional stories with people arguing a lot. Any romantic relationship in a movie will have the couple, at some point, yelling maniacally at each other, so people think that's what a romantic relationships are supposed to be like, so they imitate it. In reality though, if a person even once acted like that to another person and the person had any sense at all they would say "I didn't realize you have a severe emotional disorder and you obviously have no respect whatsoever for me so please never contact me again" and that would be the end of that relationship right there. People just can't differentiate between what works in fiction as entertainment and what's acceptable and reasonable behavior in real life. You need to realize that you're trying to actually live life, not entertain people watching you live life. It's two completely different and incompatible things.

There's only one movie to watch, as it were, our own. We are the gameboy, we write the game. Responsibility ends with us.

Thank you for responding

[@RolanRoyce]

@@haydenwayne3710 BTW, another thing people make the mistake f imitating movies on is the idea that everybody has to be in a romantic relationship. Not everybody likes other people around them for long periods of time, and they sure don't want to have another person living their home. That's called "prison conditions". That's a major source of conflict right there.
