If we differ profoundly on those things that are most important to me, we are in fundamental opposition & likely to argue.
Does he accept that objective truth is reached by evidence? I'd rather not have any more waffle abt folk wisdom.

Coz it really isn't complicated. There is either evidence for a claim or there isn't or it's inconclusive.

Yes, but he thinks the other kind is very important because you can't analyse everything basically. Not waffle, very interesting, Bret good

Its the same old claims that we get with theology & postmodernism. I do actually find them both interesting. Just not true.
-
See, I'm listening & Rogan is setting out the case for truth logically & with clarity & Peterson goes straight into archetypes & narratives.
-
There's nothing wrong with drawing out ideas that are meaningful to humans from narratives, tropes, characters. I'm a lit student.
-
But it is important to distinguish these from what is known to be true according to evidence & so easy to do that.
-
eg Sokal & Bricmont criticise the postmodernists on these grounds & Peterson does the same kind of thing.pic.twitter.com/tfJlN6Z0VM

When it would be so easy to just say 'This myth is important & meaningful to this group for these reasons but it's not true.'

Yes he does he just puts other stuff into his definition. You'll probably still get your waffle though.
-
Well, he's very welcome to do that but in the fight against postmodernism, blurring the boundaries of truth & knowledge is a problem.
