RT @DanCrenshawTX And now for your deliberately misleading headline of the day... They don’t mention it is a Mexican soldier, in Mexico. Their goal is to convince you it’s an American. It’s dishonest. And it’s why the media can’t regain our trust. apple.news/AbvUuoyT2RQWoV…

I like him. I put up a post about him and made a “Jordan Peterson” tag.
I’d bet Janet Napolitano is not a fan of his. I’ll be watching for more of his ideas.

I didn’t realize I put up the same video, JJ. It is a good one and bears repeating.

Great minds and all that! ***
Great post. Thank you. I should wake up listening to him every day. Very exciting.
Not so sure why, it happened at a subconscious level, but his comments on grouping people immediately brought to my mind the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter books. It seems a strange connection perhaps, Rowling and Peterson, but there was something about the whole idea of a sorting hat that always bothered me, so “comforting” on the surface, and so totally wrong upon reflection. Thus I never read another of her books.
Peterson is right, postmodernism is everywhere and we should be paying attention on how it is being introduced into our thoughts.
I only watched one of the films (can’t even remember which one) and didn’t read any of the books. Can you tell me more about the sorting hats?
Peterson is very good and that short speech is an excellent call to arms. I’m subscribed to his YouTube channel but I don’t have time to listen to most of his stuff; he’s quite prolific.
Prolific, yes. Varied, not so much. Not unlike VDH.
I only have a cursory familiarity with VDH so I can’t comment on him. But if Peterson’s subject matter can be thought of like a radius, then yes it is small, at least what I have seen. Deliberately so, I am sure.
Agreed, he’s a bit of a one-trick pony. But he’s focused on an important issue and it makes sense for him to stay focused.

DocLor, I wouldn’t think a professor of psychology at a major institution would ever be a “one-trick pony” for just sharing about his patients and students would be amazing.
I think Jordan Peterson is multi-faceted and well-read and would be a great person to ask questions. I would agree that his speaking style is not the best but I always get well thought out things from him. There is a lot of thought that has gone into his words.
In the Harry Potter book when the students first come to Wizard School, I believe it was called Hogwarts something, something — the initiating ceremony involves each student being called to the front of the assembly and assigned to a group. Group assignment is determined by placing an old crumpled, witchy-looking hat (called the Sorting Hat) would be placed on a student’s head. The hat would then discern which “house” (think something like fraternity) the student belonged to. Basis for each assignment was vague, however, it seemed to be based somewhat on who you were, your family, abilities,temperament,propensities, etc. After the hat decided where you belonged, that is who you were. The student did not have the free will to decide for himself which group he wanted to belong to.
I realized this does not seem related to the ideas of grouping people and then a creating a hierarchy of victimhood that Peterson referred to in his speech, well, at least,not on its face, but it was just the idea of people being”sorted” and categorized by the school (akin to an administrative State)that was bothersome to me.
OK, I can picture what you’re saying. Seems applicable to me. See if you agree: the difference, it seems to me, is that the group assignments only happen in people’s imaginations.
Not sure, I’m following you JJ. This is what I am “hearing”. You are saying the difference is that Peterson is speaking about the real world and Rowling is making-up a world, i.e., imagining?
If so, I would respond. True enough, there is a distinction to be made; however,reality frequently begins in the imagination.
Ideas are Weapons (to quote Max Lerner).
