I don't think it constitutes harassment to identify course content. And it could be used by students & parents who wanted pomo based studies as well as those who wanted to avoid them.

Listen to the Harris and Rogan interview. Or find me one quote where he says something contrary to this. It's not a secret. He says it repeatedly. His admirers argue for it.

I've seen more than those 5 interviews. He states all the time what he believes: there are empirical facts (science) and there are intangible truths associated with how to be (morality). An example in the Harris podcast is when he argued for truths in stories or literature.
-
What do you perceive to be the difference between his understanding of truth and Sam Harris' then?
-
Harris is strictly an empiricist to the point where he's entirely opposed to any sort of non-empirical conclusions as he associated them with theology. Peterson is a clinical psychologist. He lives in a world where empirical research mixes with human psychology to provide insight
-
On the subject of what is true.
-
I'm not sure what's unclear. Harris is strictly empirical and rejects non-empirical notions of truth. Peterson is empirical while accepting that non-empirical notions of truth exist.
-
It seems the difference is sharper. Both accept that such "notions" exist. Harris denies they have any basis in reality, Peterson doesn't.
-
That does not make sense. You can't accept non-empirical truth and then claim the concept has no basis in reality.
-
eg Britons think 21% of Brits are Muslim. The empirical truth is that 5% are. The 21% narrative is not the reality. For Peterson, if overestimating by 400% aided our survival it would become true. For Harris it wouldn't.

Yeah. That's what drove me crazy in his first Sam Harris interview. JP kept saying "It's true for the species if it helps the species survive." Nonesense.
-
That is not nonsense, that's Darwinian.
-
It's nonesense that lies become truth just cause some organism's survival depended on it. Lies can useful. Not truthful. By definition.
