I have to disagree. Fry is a lot better read than Peterson but he was arrogant, rambly and incoherent here. Fry is a classic English liberal humanist, cultured but fuzzy thinking. Peterson, despite his limitations, always argues incisively and clearly. Fry acted a little arrogantly by doing this interview in the way he did because he's not a thinker, he's an author/TV personality and doesn't have many useful things to say in front of Peterson's audience.

Peterson does this whenever economics are brought up. He goes on his spiel about the "Pareto Law" and how it's a walloping problem concerning the concentration of wealth and power, but then never actually engages with this very real and present problem in our current society, which is getting worse all the time by the way. He's even worse now that he's publicly stated partisan allegiance, because instead of actually investigating real solutions, he can just default to "this party good, that party bad". Peterson has managed to dumb himself down even more, which is quite the staggering accomplishment.

The whole premise of the USA in particular was explicitly the question "How do we ensure the ongoing decentralization of power?". The entire apparatus of the government was designed, intentionally, to ensure power flowed "from the people, for the people, by the people". In so far as this is no longer the case, it is due to the corruption of that original goal. To simply say "Oh well, power always centralizes so might as well accept increasingly being a slave or a serf" is cowardly and defeatist. There is definitely a middle ground between "Giving a state power to reorder the economy" and allowing centralized capital to manipulate the market.

>Peterson, despite his limitations, always argues incisively and clearly.

It is not possible to finally determine how or whether something is meaningful by observing the objective features of that thing. Value is not invariant, in contrast to objective reality; furthermore, it is not possible to derive an ought from an is (this is the “naturalistic fallacy” of David Hume). It is possible, however, to determine the conditional meaning of something, by observing how behavior (one’s own behavior, or someone else’s) is conducted in the presence of that thing (or in its absence). “Things” (objects, processes) emerge—into subjective experience, at least—as a consequence of behaviors. Let us say, for the sake of example, that behavior “a” produces phenomenon “b” (always remembering that we are talking about behavior in a particular context). Behavior “a” consequently increases in frequency. It can be deduced, then, that phenomenon “b” is regarded as positive, by the agent under observation, in the particular “context” constituting the observed situation. If behavior “a” decreases in frequency, the opposite conclusion can be reasonably reached. The observed agent regards “b” as negative.

This is a random passage from Maps of Meaning.

You're the type of midwit Peterson is warning about. There has always been a small group of elites who decide who is suitable for public office (as well as who gets a platform from which to speak). Social media has disrupted this balance and we've witnessed the attempt to redefine basic rights and blow up traditional institutions as a result. Peterson isn't saying that all heirarchies are just and will often reference the fact they tend to become corrupt over time (i.e. you're making a strawman and being willfully filtered from his actual point).

Delusional rationalization/disorganized thinking:
There are facts about the world. For example, that media manipulates people, Jews work in media, and psychologists study the mind. However, what a delusional person does is take such facts and use them to confirm a specific narrative (this is known as being selectively coherent). The elements of the narrative aren't actually proven by the facts but the delusional person (or ideologue) confuses their truth with the truth of their narrative. For example: Peterson is a psychologist (fact), associates with Jews (fact), and works in media (fact); therefore he is a skilled manipulator and part of a conspiracy headed by Jews. (This is the delusional rationalization part). The facts don't prove the narrative yet if you look you'll notice they are what is carrying the weight of the argument being made by people who mentally adhere to the narrative--if you deny the narrative these ideologues will confuse this with denying the facts. (That's the disordered thinking part).

Basically, the dangerous thing about paranoid narratives is that they have the appearance of being logically consistent within themselves and noticing the sleight of hand that takes place between the facts and the narrative isn't always easy to do. However, it's quite easy to see why certain narratives are simply absurd (e.g. looking at the advanced teachings of a cult versus those they use to hook people in).

Peterson isn't the crescendo of a multi-millenia conspiracy headed by a cabal of Jews who want you to not have sex. You haven't figured it all out and you aren't interpreting 5D chess. What you are doing is building a selectively coherent narrative based on truisms and confusing that they necessarily connect to your version of reality. If you find yourselves doing this seek professional help.

You appear to be very defensive when I'm genuinely just trying to have a conversation. When I have heard him, he mentions the Pareto Law and then they move on to a different topic. What remedies has he mentioned that might help? I'm specifically referencing his conversation with Glenn Loury which I found to be pretty unhelpful. He acknowledges that the Pareto Law in economics means that huge portions of the bottom of the distribution are left with extremely little power to better their position in life, and that as economic power centralizes, social mobility becomes harder. What is his solution to this? What would a solution even look like? Should we not bother with a solution since those people are just getting what they deserve and they just better work as hard as they can, even when the deck is stacked against them?

Again, he brings up Pareto as a means to demonstrate that wealth inequality arises naturally. He doesn't say that this is necessarily a just outcome and when it comes to hierarchies he doesn't say that they are always optimized (he frequently mentions their tendency to become corrupt). When it comes to social policy the above has to be taken into account when politicians proselytize their mandate by simply stating the outcome entirely divorced from the reality of their supposed solutions (e.g. energy policy that directly impacts the basic cost of living and affects the poor moreso than others). There isn't a simple and general way to overcome the inevitability of wealth inequality but policies that directly and negatively impact the standard of living for the underclass as well as the working poor shouldn't be brushed away as servicing redistribution.

The thing is that the policies which would actually help the working class are literally the reverse of what the left promotes.

This is why he is referred to as "controlled opposition". Society itself is entirely about subverting what occurs naturally. It's about liberating man from the tyranny of nature, and advanced societies are about also liberating man from the tyranny of other men. Simply to state, as Peterson does, that this is a deep problem that stems from nature is only helpful if it serves in the process of actually formulating a solution. When it's used to shut down proposed solutions, it is simply a tool being used to perpetuate the concentration of power.

Correct and unions are hardly a good solution. I've been involved with them and, this will sound like retard-tier hyperbole but it's true, there were literally 2 avowed communists on the steering committee. (I'll say one of them was a fairly interesting old guy from South America though--he wasn't an idiot).

But "belief" is a foundational concept in epistemology and "meaning" isn't far off. Both of them, I'm sure, have been interpreted in many different ways. Therefore, it does make sense to clarify the percipitant ambiguity as Peterson seems to attempt to do, never with any follow up from anyone. "God" too, given the Jungian psychological reduction of God. Same when belief under one theory is reduced simply to what is implied by ones behavior. Is the root of this bizarre reaction to Jordan here simply because people don't understand what he's saying... or do they think perhaps that he's asking "It depends what you mean by x, y and z" rhetorically?..

Peterson won't talk about his inner beliefs because he's just playing a character. He's "playing a personality" like Alex Jones admits to in court.

Except if Peterson were playing a character, he'd be motivated by evidence that religion is a net positive to psychological health or something. Even in a cynical interpretation like this, comparing him to a bs supp salesmen with a sandyhook on his record... seems a bit incongruent.

I don't understand why people put JP on such a pedestal. Is it because he uses "long words" with varying degrees of accuracy? Is he the pied piper of pseuds? That must be his role here. Rednecks and meatheads are drawn to Alex Jones in seemingly the same way that urban pseuds are drawn to Peterson.

His supporters clearly aren't shills, there are certainly people out there who like what he has to say. My only response is that when you're older you'll understand.

There was weird stuff. I believe that there were legit crisis actors on scene that were recognized from other events. There was so much fakey that dudes like Jones thought that the whole thing was fake, which is probably not the case. As far as false flags go, the feds have already admitted to doing MK Ultra. That is how they got Uncle Ted. Their shooter is probably from their newer revision of MK.

i still remember that mega-hyped, ticketed "debate" years ago with the dumb jew bitch from the NYT and the rocking black intellection versus peterstein and fry. Was not expecting Fry to make them all look like fucking monkeys, then. Guess he's still got it.

Well, regarding OKC, there was a string of articles that were published regarding the Elohim connection that disrupted the official narrative. Remember, the official fed line was that they had never heard of the guy until the bombing. That was from less than a week after his apprehension. The articles outlined that he was under investigation and that they knew that he was building a bomb. He found the bug and ditched his surveillance detail. They needed to maintain the narrative of ''we never heard of the guy'' because of how embarrassing it was. NBC deboonked all of the articles as ridiculous fairy tails - and then claimed the story as their own eight years after deboonking them. There is some pretty incontrovertible evidence like the ATF having a detail on scene within a handful of minutes, tooled up in gear that takes more time to don than their response time. They were literally kitted up in a room across the street because they knew that the truck was going to come.

Unresolved anger/resentment issues, I figure. I really don't understand spending time in your day to not only read something that upsets you, but then go out of your way to continually remind yourself about it.

I mean, everything could be real, with everyone being a legit participant, and just the narrative is skewed. That is how the Bloody Sunday incident played out. The official report had soldiers claiming that they saw dudes firing on them with weapons. When the documents became public, the soldiers disavowed the official reports and stated that they were never the ones that made the original claims.

As a fan of Peterson
>inb4 fag
I am somewhat perplexed by his activity on twitter. Calling him a pseud is a lazy criticism, but when he talks about setting your own house in order before criticizing the world (one of his rules) and then acts the way he does on twitter, I scratch my head a little. Can he not clearly see how directly he is violating this rule? I personally think his prognostications are overly doom-y, and I find his assessment of modern life to be oversimplified yet paradoxically vague and non-committal. There’s probably a better way to manage the way he’s going about this whole thing, but idk what that is since after all, I’m just a poster on a Mongolian basket weaving board. I do think my criticisms are solid though, and that he is definitely not a “pseud” or whatever the fuck these other autists who hate him claim he is.

Peterson is a buckbroken loser. There's no making peace with liberalism, classical or otherwise. There's no point in seeking a subservient place within this system and then pretending you have status (like he does).
