I don't know how to respond to this clip of an atheist shredding Jordan Peterson, so watch and decide for yourself
Jordan Peterson has said a lot of things about cosmic order and human psychology that have been very helpful for people seeking moral grounding in their life.
"Do you believe any of this?" "Well, no" "So what's the point?" I'm on the kid's side at least as far is this exchange is concerned .
I'm not sure how you managed to read to situation so poorly. The atheist was right. That's the point. Not about God or religion (they didn't get that far) but about Peterson. Even the evangelicals at NotTheBee were shaking their heads.
Again, this is an inversion.
Edit: I like Carl Benjamin, but his take is entirely focuses on "snotty kid had daddy issues." Calling out a man who shows up to practice Christian apologetics as "really quite nothing" when he won't commit to what he is defending was a killing blow. The kid was spot on; I just don't know if he stumbled into it by accident or he legit knew what's up.
Yeah give the smug kid his flowers lol. "You're really quite nothing" was a movie quality line he dashed off instantly
The conversation in this thread is odd. Peterson crashes out, and the local Atheists come to defend JP on his shifty defense of the existence of God? I know Giz is Giz, but still...
People like that defend the current status quo, and all who uphold it, even the false choice political parties, politicians, and media pundits who claim to be on our side. The political right is filled with people who claim to be our ally, while they're stabbing us in the back and serving the same masters as the left. It's extremely obvious.
Of course Giz would defend people who pretend to be right, pretend to be Christian, who gatekeep us from moving further right, and out of the control of the false right.
I don't know man. I'm usually a Peterson defender in these parts, it really feels like JP buggered up so bad that they're saying "look away!" Lends credence to the claims JP is so called controlled opposition.
I don't think that's the case, but every victory against Marxism/Progressivism/etc has come at the hands of a 90's moderate. Donald Trump changed the course of human history by having the political positions of Bill Clinton. Peterson is pretty much the same thing, but he wants a cookie for doing it. I do like listening to a lot of Peterson's content, but I've come to realize that he's not as tough about his banishment from the Academy as he pretends. He wants back in.
