    It could be done badly, yes. I think a right-wing reviewing system shld be allowed to exist tho it wld be no use to me. For me, the most concerning aspect of postmodernism is the denial of objective truth & this is unlikely to be searched for.https://twitter.com/ElleWest25/status/929336494422220800 …

    No. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen with someone as biased as peterson at the helm. I agree the courses should be reviewed & even that a website criticizing them isn’t so bad. But I think he will choose a biased team & it’ll end up being a right-wing reviewing system🙅🏻

        Sure, it should be allowed to exist, but it's unprincipled and frankly, I think it's a complete betrayal of classical liberal values.

        Can you explain why? If its only an attempt to locate it? Not to shut it down.

        Sure. You're applying a label and poisoning the well. You're attacking someone for holding a perspective rather than defeating their arguments in the court of public opinion. But most importantly, it's a very small step from saying "She's a witch!" to "Burn the witch"!

        Just by identifying postmodern content in a course? Would it be the same if a system was set up to find out which courses had scientific content?

        Well, first define "postmodern content", and then also proven that it's bad in the context it's being presented. Then, have fun not following the path to its logical conclusion.

        Yes, I thought of that too. Something like that would be ideal. An objective rating of courses for epistemological & ideological approaches. https://twitter.com/Gil_Ant/status/929344234985066496 …

        Curious why you think it would be right wing? Also: one of JBPs beefs is pm denial of hierarchical value, so there's yr objective.

        I don't know that it will be. I am saying that if it is, it should still be allowed to exist. Here is JPB on objective truth.pic.twitter.com/z9yzTI3gy3

        Again, oddly, I respond to his objective nested in subjective idea. And find Sam Harris shallow. JBP s a big fan of scientific rigor, from what I've seen.

        Just because he talks to conservatives doesn't make him one. He doesn't consider himself a conservative. Check out his appearence on the H3 podcast, the question comes up early in the show.

        Well, whatever you want to call the views he has on abortion, marriage, family, casual sex etc. Traditional, socially conservative, whatever. I can just disagree with them & on objective truth & agree on freedom of speech.

        "Who cares if my labels are inaccurate because of my own ignorance. I'll use them anyway." I can't stand misrepresentaion. You just give more ammo to the people calling him far-right to silence him.

        This is why classical liberals get such shit from both sides. Their conservative veiw alienate them from the left, and their liberal veiws alienate them from the right. The woes of a centrist.

        It would be just as likely to be done badly if an SJW type was doing it. In this case, however, there are unlikely to be calls for no-platforming, safe spaces, etc.
