Because Peterson came out with his personal grievances over PC rules at his school, which got him a large fanbase of alt-right viewers. Now he doesn't want to lose these people, but it's also clear from this clip that he really isn't one of them and feels inclined to go for whichever side sounds like classical liberal (no on cake law) without actually giving himself time to ruminate until confronted by Jim. I imagine he's started to come-down from the provocateur high and is beginning to worry that this internet culture he was fit into is going to hurt him academically down the road. Something tells me he's not gonna want to be the Kekistani who hangs out with Dave Rubin too far into the future just because his articulation and Jungian analysis and distaste for PC movements garnered him that audience. I also imagine the defamation lawsuit is the first real sign of this as he wants to set an example of people who're already beginning to cut him out of the academic world for this new Web-based persona.

The notion that consent is the gold standard for determining whether an action should be illegal or not is a nice meme, but it doesn't hold up if you look at what's been considered moral historically or even if you look comparatively at the moral landscape today.

(Hard) drugs are illegal because of their damaging effects to individuals and communities, and the same type of argument was used against homosexuality in the past. Pedophilia is considered damaging to children, and that's why it's illegal. Children can legally consent to all kinds of activities, just not ones that are considered harmful or potentially harmful, so harm or potential harm is the real standard or at least a major factor in the moral consensus.

Sexual "liberation" is fundamentally changing the view of sex to the point where it could not be considered harmful or taboo under any circumstances, and so pedophilia will become legal within a couple of decades. Screencap this post.

They're both sexual orientations. The reason you gave on why pedophilia is wrong is that children can't consent, which while false in the first place it doesn't inherently make it bad. Who said a child can't say "yes?" An 18-year-old doesn't have a fully developed brain, yet we say they can consent. Whether a 12-year-old can consent is based on arbitrary societal standards. And where's the connection to nonconsent and "bad?" There is none naturally, except socially. Most animals commit rape without consequences. I'll remind you that slavery of African Americans was once socially accepted. Societal standards are always going to be arbitrary, but nature is true.

most non-autistic liberals realize that rights like the right to free speech or the right to hold arbitrarily hateful opinions are second-order rights that serve as tools to generally get a society with more liberty and less tyranny. But they are not "fundamental" or human rights, which are more basic rights about your personhood. If a society has an issue whereby the full expression of the second-order rights is egregiously violating some subpopulation's human rights, then of course more parameters on the scope of the second-order rights. But it's a potentially slippery slope because constraining a right tends to not be undone.

They actually can discriminate in many ways. For example, they can refuse you entry to a night club or opera if you're dressed like a bum.

They can't discriminate against "protected classes" of people and these classes include various races and nowadays in the West probably also faggots and the like.
To become a protected class I think you need to show some history of discrimination.

Because Peterson doesn't take fights he can't win. The left cannot take him down in a big stage.

The people he defends himself against are less literate than him, less articulate and less intelligent. So they call him names and he becomes more popular. They can't match up against him.

We don't know what would happen if he debated someone of his own size or greater. You'll only see him talk to Bill Maher tier TV personalities.

I don't get it. First, he never, to my knowledge, talked about the gay cake thing much before if at all. So the fact that you can get him on this subject isn't surprising. The schizoid in this thread are acting like it was a centerpoint of his entire arguments.

Secondly, do you really think you could have done better than him? If you've ever been interviewed you'll know that it's a bit different than answering questions behind your computer, with no pressure and the cover of anonymity.

Interest in is different than commonality with. Derrida is also basically a performance artist doubling as a philosopher, which has two big consequences: 1) most of his writing is more akin to literature than traditional philosophy, and 2) anyone can quote things he wrote to make any point because he never sticks to making consistent points.

The Marx stuff is the great example of this. Derrida's deconstructionism is a complete rejection of the pseudo-scientific dialectical materialism that is the backbone of Marxism. However, there was a sort of performative aesthetic of saying you were a Marxist in 60's Paris, almost like an older version of LARPing. Marxism for Derrida is not a serious ideological tool, but rather a literary device. Thus you get this disconnect where folks who want to attack Derrida can say he was a Marxist, and folks who actually know anything about him would say that he is not; and so the two sides end up talking past each other.

the whole thing is stupid because it was a legal question, not some massive question on fundamental liberal rights of man. Can a state have a law that says you cannot discriminate against some protected class? The answer is yes, that is Constitutional so long as the act in question is not covered by the 1A. The legal question was whether baking a cake is covered under the 1A. It's a fairly nuanced question. Even the baker's lawyers were sort of bumbling around as to where the line was, claiming that a makeup artist was NOT covered by 1A but that the baker was. In the end the Court did not rule on the question at hand anyway, and even if they had it would only have affected the unbelievably small set of situations where bakers and gays and laws converge together.

What peterson is saying, judging not only from the words that are said but also by looking facial expressions and mannerism, is: "I could make a long winded overly detailed argument about the single business relation to the whole of society and its interplay - but i would still probably be wrong" which translates to "i was wrong".

Art is a highly vague concept and that opens many legal loopholes. That thinking would never pass the SCOTUS.

Besides, racism was part of a greater ideology c. 1950s, doesn't mean people had a moral right to refuse service to blacks. If this was a religious rite or something to that effect you may have an argument, but refusing service based on creed, race, etc. is already illegal on legal precedent and simple logical deduction.
