These people see themselves as guardians of the Cathedral - the extensive apparatus that has set up around shitlib ideology.

the article is right, listen to peterson and follow his argument like you would reading a work of philosophy (which i'm sure you know how to do since everyone here is a SCHOLAR): be rigorous and careful and then try to explain the argument he's making

they're simplistic and superficial and he doesn't really know much outside of his field of expertise, which is the laughably unscientific evolutionary psychology that this fucking site would shit on for YEARS before he came along to guzzle pepecum up

a key indicator that he's stupid is that david brooks likes him

that authors misreading of jp through some prism of fascist bs is laughable. so helping young males sort life out is directly going to lead to fascism? fuck libs.

hostility to mainstream evo psych is based in no small part on its scientistic devaluing of human experience and implied atheism. so your pepe point is taken but i don't know that it delegitimizes a reasoned embrace of the kind of evo psych that tries to justify religious experience without explaining it away.

I think he's just Jewish so when an academic like JP doesn't constantly talk about race mixing or baby dicks its really upsetting.

xoxoers ripped on ev-psych for basically making up stories about our distant ancestors on the savannah based on shit going on in modern cities. peterson goes all-in relating mythology to the psyche with nebulous unprovable shit that you usually see in french theory and gets off scot free. he deserves credit for sticking up for free speech and challenging shit like the gender wage gap, and providing basic life advice to angry outcasts raised without fathers, but the work that's supposed to mark him as a profound thinker is not far off from obscurantist mystical shit that was en vogue in the 70s and laughed at afterwards. his stuff actually belongs on the shelf right next to other canadian theorists like northrop frye and marshall mcluhan

The evopsych I've been exposed to is the "your thoughts are created for finding a mate and avoiding predators" line, which seems no less myopic to me than the "sources and structures of meaning have evolutionarily refined morphologies" line seems to you. It should be somewhat clear that accepting one and rejecting the other is essentially a political choice, and that accounts for zozos differential acceptance.

Uh, no? The hate for ev-psych I mentioned was based on it being unfalsifiable claptrap, not that it prescribed political positions that weren't agreed with. It was a THAT'S NOT SCHOLARSHIP thing, not a "fuck shitlibs" thing. If you're going to say THAT'S NOT SCHOLARSHIP be consistent.

this is an unreasonable demand based on (i) the acceptance of the hyperliberal proposition that paradoxes can be engineered out of human nature, and (ii) the rejection of the moderate lib position that belief formation cannot start from first principles.
