Society/Culture Jordan B Peterson

Who are the ill?

 

[ShanDog]

Massive (financially rewarding) hissy fit over changing social landscape.

Yeaaah. Ok.

Do we respect Peterson for his climate change scepticism?

No.

 

[FireKrakouer]

And Jordy has made a monumental effort to avoid facing his fears, and exhorting his followers to do the same.

Explain your argument or stop being a needy troll.

Yeaaah. Ok.

Has JP destroyed a number of precious cryptic ideological beliefs causing Chief to become extremely offensive, resentful and unhinged?

Never known the chief to be so seeds like irrational and petulant.

The Chief was having an existential crisis before our very eyes. It was a beautiful thing.

The Gillette ad restored his faith in humanity.

We look forward to the new Chief of old.

Apologies if this has been posted before
But it gives a wonderful answer to JPs critics

 

[Snake_Baker]

No true "intellectual" could oppose him based upon his actual discipline.

Cheif was on fire.

That was an enjoyable read. Cheif you should apply more sass to your posts like you have in the last few pages.

Do we respect Peterson for his climate change scepticism? Or is more like he's sucking on that Koch Brother money?

Is he a clinate change skeptic?

 

[ShanDog]

Is he a clinate change skeptic?

Not of the science AFAIK, but believes a lot of anti-humanist sentiment drives the narrative that comes out of it. Stuff along the lines of viewing humans as a scourge or virus on the planet and it not being good (who'd have thought?). I remember him talking a while ago about how amazing a new invention was that automatically went around the ocean cleaning up junk for recycling or something along those lines. So he isn't anti-environmentalism or anything.

I'm too smooth-brained to know how to embed tweets. Can someone enlighten me?

There is an element in the climate change camp who are enjoying the opportunity to burn down the big business.

Yes, they're secretly Marxists and coming after your business next.

Edit: Unnecessarily snarky but breaking news: water is wet. Obviously there is an element who enjoy it. It doesn't take a genius to see that there will be inevitably socialists who believe in climate change.

Just add beer

He will oblige

Should be able to just copy the tweet link and pasta in here. Let BF do the work for you.

The science behind climate change is sound and climate change is real, but it was Michael Crichton I believe, of all people, who was one of the first to identify that the green movement was a refuge for socialists after the fall of communism. No longer could they wage their arguments against capitalism on the basis of a competing political ideology, but they could on an appeal to environmentalism and an apocalyptic future.

That said, the current heatwave in NSW is ****ed, and anyone who believes this is a once off and not the future is a moron.

That's why the Greens rejected the Carbon trading model because it was a market solution to reducing Co2. They wanted more of a socialist carbon tax instead.

Interesting in England, the right supports climate change action and the left is the climate deniers.

What can I do for you?

Yes, they're secretly Marxists and coming after your business next.

Marx openly lauded the ability of humankind to shape the natural environment and to make nature the slave of humankind's whims and desires. That seems a world away from people wanting environmental protection.

Absolutely. His ideology was built upon the industrial age (the exploitation of natures resources, [and human labor]) .

I rate the man a genius for his time, but his ideology is now mostly redundant.

He did correctly identify issues relating to capitalism (as it stood at the time). Communism itself has proven an utter failure though so he stands as another political scientist who provided a cure worse than the symptoms.

I wouldn't go along with that completely.

The average Chinese peasant is doing a lot better than once was the case, but communism has a "use by date" once it achieves it's initial goals.
