Saying that certain stances are better for society as a whole is quite different from "I hold these veiws personally." JBP is very careful not to let his personal veiws bleed into his teaching, as a good teacher should. People just assume those are his veiws.

But that's what conservatism and liberalism are - thinking certain stances are better for society as a whole. Personally, my lifestyle & values for myself are very compatible with conservative views but I think society works better on a liberal scale so I am a liberal.

Can you point to where he advocates for these socially conservative values? I think I missed that lecture.
-
Oh good grief. Just follow his twitter account on marriage and family. I don't have time to go through his lectures so if you want to disbelieve that he speaks of gender archetypes & abortion & casual sex negatively & marriage & family as morally superior, you'll just have to.
-
I do. And I pointed you to evidence against your claims earlier. People are far to quick to judge the man. Thanks for the convo.

Ugh.
@Intrinsic29, do you have anything at your fingertips? I really need to focus on this talk -
Is your need to be "right" that strong? We have a different opinion, and I accept that. I can see how you came to your opinion, and I know how I came to mine. Isn't that the "diversity of opinion" people are always looking for?
-
That I'd ask someone else if they have at hand info I don't have time to look for? Well, yes. There's a right or wrong answer here. Either JPB does espouse socially conservative values or he doesn't.

He does say he's closest to a classical liberal

And some of them are conservative.
-
In what sense
-
In the sense of having conservative values, voting conservative, calling themselves conservative. Conservatives are heavy on 3/4/5.pic.twitter.com/yHEZSgoaOj

Technically (and by his own statement) he is a Classical Liberal.
-
Also conservative.
-
He's not leftist, if that's what you mean. But he is Liberal. Supports Gay Marriage, alternative gender roles, etc.

I love his psych lectures but there's no denying his tendency to take hard last-minute logical turns toward religious-conservative positions

As well as atheism and religion. His views are most definitely conservative in that department. Some of the most cringeworthy statements on atheism I’ve heard in some time.
