To everyone on the left concerned about men finding @jordanbpeterson appealing - what's *your* answer?
Do you have something to say to young men besides labelling them the enemy and pathologizing them?
Once you figure this out, a healthy debate will ensue.

I definitely don't see him as an alt-right sexist boogeyman. My main concern is his concept of truth. His filibustering on the subject seems like epistemic relativism, and he makes assumptions about every member of a certain group based on this week's disney character archetype

That being said, I think his lectures on religion will (in the long run) have the unintended consequence of making some people discard fundamentalism in favor of Chopraesque religion & atheism for others. He breaks down the Bible like others broke down what we now call mythology.

Hmmm. I worry that he is making irrationalism and disregard for evidence more acceptable.

Jordan Peterson cites evidence in all the vids I've seen. What, in particular, r u referring to? What videos of his have you watched? Curious. Seems 2 me, he's all about evidence

See discussion with Sam Harris and Joe Rogan. Also Maps of Meaning, particularly this bit:pic.twitter.com/nc6tZitcSO

It's not a smear that he regards truth pragmatically rather than by evidence. He's quite open and consistent about it.
