Please be specific - which argument am I misrepresenting? I've seen tons of his videos and posts and believed I cited him him verbatim in this case. I'd be interested in knowing where you think I got him wrong.
In terms of him selling junk...
Junk is your term - but okay. I do think much like others (let's say Shapiro on the right and Franken on the left) they stake out extreme positions in order to generate interest and sell stuff. Moderation doesn't sell. And...
For clarification - I never said I believed that all the views accepted and proposed by the left media are genuinely held. I didn't disagree that they diminish out of hand right-wing views, pundits and positions. Instead, what I argued was that is exactly also what the righ-wing media does to left-wing views, pundits, and positions.
The whole position. Peterson just doesn’t hold the view you’re saying he does.
The next time you see the words... "good point, hadn't thought of it that way" on the internet will be the first time they've ever been written.
It's really why it makes almost zero sense to engage in any political threads. I constantly remind myself of this fact... and yet, I STILL sometimes can't help myself.
Political debate is good, in my view. I think this one is just fine. There will be some minor frustrations, but that’s natural when discussing meaningful issues where there’s difference.
Doesn’t impact how I see Dave at all. And we already agree we have broadly similar views. Just a few points here and there of difference. Over a beer it would be easier to settle, as any text often gets difficult to confirm tone at times.
Just to clear the air, I like everyone here, regardless of whatever political beliefs they hold. So far this has been a fairly civil discussion, considering it's an online message board. lol
I like my stories Simple. Straightforward. A to B. No C.
He holds precisely the specific view I articulated.
Can you provide proof?
Because I’ve never seen anything at all to support your assertion. You are being very clear you think you’re right, so keen to know what’s propping that belief up.
EDIT: Just to be clear, this is what the claim is.
Peterson would have you believe that the gap is primarily explained by this:
" women’s tendency for neuroticism – their likelihood to experience stress, depression and unpredictability – and their high level of agreeableness, to be cooperative and compassionate.
Let's just rename the thread "These videos DESTROY leftists with FACTS and LOGIC" and be done with it...
Surely when people make bold claims about a society being a patriarchal white supremacy, it’s fair game to hold the claims to account?
That’s what the videos I’ve shared seek to do.
It’s easy to try and frame it as part of the political right / left axis to dismiss the criticism, but surely you agree bold claims require clear evidence?
