That’s quite an intentionally misleading headline @hal_5700X@lemmy.world

I agree. Although I’m not sure why you think I’m angry? Your original comment is ambiguous and could be perceived either way.

You must realize the privilege you have to be able to take this position. List of people killed for being transgender.

I don’t think it has anything to do with the education system. It’s simply that the commitment involved in the request is much higher than normal. I don’t read every 50-page article or 2-hour video I come across. But I can be compelled to when the value proposition is higher than normal.

Wow what a fantastic video. I’m so glad I didn’t check the timecode.

I’d not heard of this essay, I’ll have to check it out. Thank you for sharing.

I completely disagree. Based off of your comment it seems that you did not absorb the article whatsoever.

There are many good examples in the article of Peterson presenting opinion as indisputable fact and obscuring ideas with complex language. Particularly when he is challenged based on those ideas.

Not to mention the examples of how he treats children and others. It is an absolutely wild read. Lengthy but eye-opening.

Edit: it also exposes how the ideas that his core philosophy is built on are simplistic at best and often flat out wrong or intentionally disingenuous.

The article above does a good job of providing many examples and a breakdown. It’s long, but worth it.

You watched 300 episodes of something you didn’t find interesting?

I’m sharing this article because it changed my perception of Jordan Peterson, and exposed him as intellectually dishonest at best and more likely a fraud artist. Starting with essentially his dissertation. It is a long read but it is incredibly well researched and written:
