For the record: I didn't title the article. (But "catastrophic" isn't far off.)
I disagree with @jordanbpeterson on many important points, but he is well worth engaging with an open mind. This was a nearly terminal case of close-mindedness.https://twitter.com/SamHarrisOrg/status/953779268919599105 …

Yes but he wasn't talking about epistemology and he was right on other issues.

We can disagree with him completely on epistemology and consider it very important to do so without disagreeing with all his other views on principle. That would only undermine the credibility of the criticism of his epistemology.

What would you do? Disagree on principle when he says something which is true and provides evidence for it?

You haven't changed your tune on this one iota. I've been watching his videos, just to catch up, and must consider the possibility that you lack context for your basic difference with JBP. He provides an evolutionary theory basis that makes sense.

i really don't understand this idea that one person can threaten a whole set of values lol... if he can maybe they are bad values in the first place...
-
Depends how charismatic and how popular they are & how much they serve a zeitgeist. Prophets, cult-leaders. Can be good or bad.

Ya. I just see alot of sjw-level freakout stuff about JP from peeps I follow (not u, ur reasonable), about how his ideas are dangerous... It's just unclear thinking. There are way worse Christian evangelicals with bigger followings and they're not threating enlightment values.
-
Just disagree and move on...
