      Does he accept that objective truth is reached by evidence? I'd rather not have any more waffle abt folk wisdom.

      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.'

      The stories they have in mind have a sort of basis of factual truth and utility, like the porcupine example

      And malaria. So it's kind of a subtly different claim from 'anything goes' and respecting different ideologies

      It comes from a different angle. But the PoMos do too. They don't actually believe anything goes & respect all ideologies either.

          They also prioritise certain narratives & beliefs having done away with the idea that knowledge is evidence-based. Difference is which ones.
