Opinion: Jordan Peterson has always been a crank

[igor_kavinski]

Still not feminism, it's just called corruption. and from the sounds of it, corruption by men.

No, what I described in that post is definitely not feminism. Why would you even think that I think of that as feminism? My definition of feminism is men protecting toxic women and sacrificing other (weaker) men to pretend to be the upholders of social justice and equality.

Huh? Whuh? Me?

Lmao, I dunno Igor, why would someone in this thread draw the conclusion that you have trouble with information and dislike feminism.

Feminism isn’t men protecting toxic women either. Once again, emotional reasoning.

Since you can’t be bothered to just research, *checks notes*, anything, here ya go:

Feminism isn’t men protecting toxic women either.

Maybe you have a different name for my experiences. What do you call the phenomenon of a toxic Karen being passive aggressive to some random male in her office building because she knows that the men around her believe in equal rights for women so she can get away with almost anything, as far as sowing seeds of doubt in those men's hearts that maybe this random guy shouldn't be working here because it personally bothers her?

Like, what is this dude doing in my building? Why are people like him hired in the first place? My day gets ruined every time I see him. I totally would like to never have to set my eyes on him again.

Simply corruption. Preferential treatment. Different strokes for different folks.

Protectionism’s like you’re describing are a tale as old as time. It’s not a good thing, but it shouldn’t drive you to hold ideas you’ve described repeatedly in this thread. That’s a you problem, which I’ve encouraged you take ownership of.

 

[Pontius Dilate]

I don’t perceive you as having disabilities. What I have heard you say is that you experience depression. I have a lot of sympathy for that condition having long ago experienced utter blackness at any possibility of escape from it, but which vanished completely in an instant of realization. I only began to think you might have difficulties beyond what I constantly have with others when it comes to explaining a completely different form of perception as that which I experienced that changed me. I treat everyone as having the potential to see. Why would I bother to debate if I thought of them as totally lost. But I would not directly challenge the perceptions of people who have extra difficulties reading the intent of other people.

I mentioned it only because it struck me owing to how often you seem not to grasp my intent, that it sone extra difficulties might apply. I don’t see you as having disabilities. I am asking if you might. I feel morally obliged to ask. I do not demand an answer nor do I know what it would be if you answered honestly.

Except that I did. I am well aware what people say and react to mirrors so I know you believe what you are saying.

I am indeed. What I say here is that you lack the charity to question whether your characterizations of Peterson might be false.

But you used his actions there to support your position.

It was not my intent to say you were cruel in your judgment of Peterson, implying he is calculating and cunning but to make you experience what that feels like

To be more careful would be to fear offending your feelings, but the prison I escaped from I did so at the destruction of everything I held sacred which was an emotionally crushing experience. If you think the truth doesn’t hurt or that hurt is worth the price, I know with no doubt at all it was worth it to me. The more I care not to tell you truths you don’t want to hear and deny, less I would care about what I believe is in your best interest to face. The more you protest the more I hear the innocent child within you begging for help.

Pretty much. I do not accept your interest in protecting your feelings as what you feel is a lie. You could not be hurt by words if you knew what real self love is. I may feel like the worst person in the world just like you do, but so far I have survived and paid the price of knowing it. I am not at your level of denial and I am quite happy about it.

I hope this helps you to understand what I mean when I don’t care what you feel. Caring would really be a form of disrespect like enabling an addict.

I wish you well.

Thanks for providing your quote, that you misquoted as mine? You're welcome I guess.

I certainly knew who said it first. I was pleased you used it as a justification for your point of view, cynically or not.

Possible, but not guaranteed. Influence of our subconcious on thinking is understood. There are some people whole challenge their perceptions, and look to discard emotional bias in their thoughts.

How could it not be guaranteed? Your perceptions of how you respond to the world are based on experience of the past, associations of feeling, positive and negative, those notions themselves being derived from past experience. When you say influence of our subconscious is understood, it seems to me you haven't actually understood it. You wouldn't be able to walk across a room if all the data that comes at you from your senses weren't filtered down to essentials as the brain learns to navigate the essentials for survival in the real world. You are built to maximize pleasure and avoid pain. And we were trained by a system of rewards and punishments all based on thought generated opinion. Some people do challenge bias. You abandoned religious faith because you saw through how corrupt it has become. I did that too but also with everything else. I saw that thought was time and fear when time and thought came to a sudden and abrupt end and i briefly woke up in a place I had forgotten existed, my original self, presence without subject or object, just being here now full of the joy in being alive I was born with.

Depends, some opinions are held due to the logical proof. See, some opinions are based on what is.

The problem with scientific objectivity is that the scientist looking at objective reality sees it without understanding his or her perceptions are colored by thinking. Real objectivity is seeing without thought or time, simply being here as your monkey self. This is totally incomprehensible if you have not had that experience.

Instinctual a very subjective. Humans are picking up on different variables to determine what they instinctually think or feel. In this way we are similar to other creatures, but we also identify it as a feature, something others creatures don't really do.

I would say that instinct is what is when the sense of a personal self identified with this or that external ism is not present. To learn, to grow wise, to be more aware is to unlearn faith in beliefs. Socrates and mystical literature, sources of real wisdom, are about death to the ego and the notion we know anything. The nature of truth always contains paradox for those who live in the delusion of duality.

/shrug.

Simply pointing out that everything in our culture places value of self confidence and ego, money power fame etc. all quite the opposite of the put down of being told you know nothing. In not knowing there is treasure beyond compare, like entering the kingdom of heaven. Don't shrug. Embrace your ignorance. The meek shall inherit the earth.

of course, you can always consult a dictionary for a better understanding of words.

This is an appeal to common knowledge, a logical fallacy. Knowledge is rare especially among people of words.

edit: I meant to mention that it's nice how you just kinda don't even mention your false dilemma designed to not fail your perspective

My perspectives are not of this world. Seeing the falsness of my old perspectives is what got me there. You want me to learn all the names various biases can be called. I aim to forget everything I was taught. There is no utility for me there.

Think, "This train is bound for glory. Hop aboard. Ticket price, abandonmnet of everything you believe."

Nobody in heaven knows there are there until they first lose and then find their way back. After that there can be no loss ever again. life is empty without the awakening of love in your heart.

I want to share such a perspective.

 

[igor_kavinski]

She is funny AND offensive but of course, most of you will find her ONLY funny.

I wish we could know what JP has to say about her jokes. I mean, intellectually.

It's not that she is right or wrong (although most of you will be, she SO RIGHT!) but it's that the dynamics of male female relationships are changing pretty quickly and it remains to be seen if it's going to be a good thing in the end.

Who thinks she can hold her own against Bill Burr?

 

[cytg111]

With DNA matching. Seriously, that's the day a lot of the men find out that they have been raising kids belonging to other men

The way we care for our kids is a trick of the mind. Just cause it came out of your penis and out of her vagina, that new person can be anybody. If I found out today that my kids were not my kids, wouldnt change a damn thing. They're my kids.

 

[igor_kavinski]

If I found out today that my kids were not my kids, wouldnt change a damn thing. They're my kids.

Umm yeah, kids can have that effect but if no part of you will feel betrayed, you are just a better human overall than a huge majority of males.

I'm not sure you understand how words work. A purity test was built by you in a way that assures you're right, but it was also a False Dilemma, where you proposed two options and assumed there are no others. I only included your text as a reference, I called it "The record".

You are built to maximize pleasure and avoid pain.

I'm not convinced everyone's built this way. Seems to be your opinion.

And we were trained by a system of rewards and punishments all based on thought generated opinion.

We are products of a series of stimuli combined with who we are wired to be from origin.

Some people do challenge bias. You abandoned religious faith because you saw through how corrupt it has become. I did that too but also with everything else.

Corruption was certainly part of my discarding of religious behavior, which relies on bias to keep people as members.

I saw that thought was time and fear when time and thought came to a sudden and abrupt end and i briefly woke up in a place I had forgotten existed, my original self, presence without subject or object, just being here now full of the joy in being alive I was born with.

oh no! you should probably warn humanity so they can put it safe guards in their sciencing that reduce and negate bias in their findings! Maybe a system that has some type of colleague or peer review!

This is an appeal to common knowledge, a logical fallacy. Knowledge is rare especially among people of words.

So like your disregard for rhetorical fallacies and critical thinking that you displayed earlier, you don't like to be bound by the confines of the english language's reference documents. I'm not really surprised. It's interesting that you do the standard conservative play here where you expect others to behave a certain way yet you don't want to be bound by the same rules. In fact, quite a bit of what you post (and igor) is designed to solidify your own viewpoints (aka stroke your ego) and create scenarios where you can't be wrong. You're a marvel.

It's simple: The dictionary, in all it's variations, is the tool we use to encourage productive conversation. When people decide they're not bound by it and create their own definitions, confusion will occur.

Here's the fallacy you think I did, but it's not what you think it is.

Appeal to Common Knowledge

The term "appeal to common knowledge" refers to a type of argument where a claim is considered true simply because it is widely believed or accepted by a group of people. This form of reasoning is often associated with logical fallacies, particularly the ad populum fallacy, which asserts that a proposition must be true because many people believe it.

In philosophical discussions, common knowledge is often contrasted with individual knowledge. For instance, some scholars argue that common knowledge consists of "hinge certainties" — fundamental beliefs that underpin our understanding of the world and are collectively trusted. These hinge certainties include things like the belief that water comes from taps, cars are driven on roads, and that what goes up must come down.

However, the appeal to common knowledge can be problematic because it does not necessarily provide evidence for the truth of a claim. Different people may have different interpretations of what constitutes "common knowledge," and what is widely accepted may not always be accurate. For example, historical examples such as the belief in a geocentric universe or the flat Earth were once considered common knowledge but were later proven to be incorrect.

In some contexts, the appeal to common knowledge is used to justify actions or beliefs without requiring rigorous evidence. This can lead to the perpetuation of misconceptions or the dismissal of new ideas that challenge established norms. It is important to critically evaluate claims based on common knowledge and consider whether they are supported by empirical evidence or logical reasoning.

In summary, while common knowledge can provide a shared framework for understanding the world, it should not be used as a substitute for evidence or critical analysis. The appeal to common knowledge is a form of reasoning that requires careful scrutiny to avoid fallacious conclusions.

You sir, are a galactic wonder.

The problem you are having in my opinion is that the reason why, for example, you describe the amazement my words evoke in you as of galactic dimension in nature is the result of your conditioned and habituated perception of the world from a left brained, linear-analytic-category-differentiated-thought based attitude
The problem I think you are having can be encapsulated thusly: You see the world via thought which is has been conditioned by the past. You live in a thought created ego palace that protects you from feeling how you feel.

Thought is time and fear. You have not directly seem this because you will automatically use the very process designed to keep that realization from happening at bay to try to see if I am right or not. This is the trap you are in.

The truth is incredibly simple. What does incredible mean. It is something beyond the reach of the analytical tools you use to prove leaving doubt in its place. This means that the tools you have to approach what I have said to you is truth staring you in the face is impossible for you to believe. And the galactic blunder you make, unaware of the galactic dimension of ego beliefs you do believe, makes my simple unawareness there is any value in them seem titanic.

I know your rules. I know how to think. I know what logic is. I know where the bright lines are between your safe imagined world and where the dragons start to appear. I can live in your world but I saw another world with different eyes long ago. I experienced a state not of galactic incredibly but in which wonder is real. I recommend it and say it is real.

Your doubts, denials, criticisms, distrust, have at them. The truth is out there whether I am or am not what I saw. Understand the difference there can be between the messenger and the message. I am a nobody.

Yes and you will hear pretty much the same thing from any source of enlightened understanding. Anybody at all can know the truth. Why some and not others I suppose might be tied to need, but whatever the reason it the same truth for dummies like me as it is for those who can maintain truth moment to moment. I am not what is important. But truth has a high value. Pay no attention to me. The best I can do may be poor.

Sure. You seem to desire quite a bit of attention for some who doesn't want attention. I mean, totally something an ego less enlightened individual would do really. Post away on a message board about how much they're right and others are wrong. How enlightened you are and others are not. lol, truly a galactic wonder, who gets bent out of shape when his golden calf is disagreed with.

But what if the real facts are that I know there is an treasure within you the value of which is beyond compare and of which you yourself are unaware, and that having already found mine the thing that is worth doing is to share. One of us knows my conscious intention. The other is likely projecting.

One of us knows my conscious intention.

I just did. It turns out that you don’t understand that the logical opposite of normal bias is freedom from bias which is the know nothing and therefore opinion free state that happens in the awareness of enlightened people so you were talking about it but just didn’t know it.

Projection is a phenomenon in which the internal dialogue that goes on in a person’s head is seen as being caused by events around us when in fact those events are only imagined to be going on around us and only exist in our own heads.

Isn’t it just amazing that someone could list such profoundly game changingly intelligent questions and then admit to how stupidness or she regards them as being. Did you post this to accounted you’re looking to appear brain dead. It seems your aim was one of ridicule. How does that feel. What does it do for you? If you can humiliate someone and make them look stupid does that make you feel better? Were you seeking to be king of people with low self esteem like Donald Trump going spastic to ridicule a motor impaired reporter speaking truth to his face. Don’t step on a rake.

Nah, you offer so many what ifs instead of what is because it’s your mechanism to both distract and support your own assumptions established thru mystical reasoning. You’ve already acknowledged in this thread that you have no use for logical reasoning. What ifs are the beginning of science, what is is the result of methodical testing.

I just did. It turns out that you don’t understand that the logical opposite of normal bias is freedom from bias which is the know nothing and therefore opinion free state that happens in the awareness of enlightened people so you were talking about it but just didn’t know it.

The text you’re struggling with:
“And interesting statement coming from an enlightened individual who assumes to know intentions and builds they're reality based on those assumptions.”

Turns out, you can’t read. You’ve responded twice an both times seemingly fail to understand basic language.

I mean, we could use the accepted guide to words (aka dictionary), but somehow you’ve reasoned yourself into thinking that’s a logical fallacy, in what seems to be a way to challenge the idea of critical thinking, but at the same time you’ve stated you don’t need it and post here like you don’t.

It’s about you holding others to account for having assumptions, yet can’t seem to bring yourself own yours. You state them as facts on a regular basis.
