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.

It's not a smear that he regards truth pragmatically rather than by evidence. He's quite open and consistent about it.
-
Can you provide a clear example why this is a problem?
-
If you don't already see a problem with claiming things to be true if they are untrue but helpful in some way, no, it is very unlikely that I'll ever be able to convince to value objective reality.
-
You might see the problem with epistemological pragmatism when used by people you disagree with. eg JP showed feminist claims about wage gaps to be objectively false but epistemological pragmatism would say that if it works out in women's favour to claim them to be true, they are
-
I think that's an oversimplification of epistemological pragmatism
-
Can u elaborate, if u have the time?
-
My understanding of pragmatism was that knowledge was based on an underlying framework, and the best framework was that which best served the individual in processing and communicating new information and interacting with the world in the long term

Yes. JP's appeal is easily understood. Common sense answers 2 lifes probs. ( see 12 Rules, UofT psych lec) Yes. Not much common ground btwn atheist and Jungian like JP

Many atheists like Jungian woo. They just don't like religious woo. Or don't believe it anyway. I like it but don't believe it. https://qmul.academia.edu/HelenPluckrose

I seek knowledge anywhere and everywhere I can find it. No boxes for me! Lol. High degree of openness and curiosity. Hence, JP's appeal 2 me. See UofT compelled speech/pronoun debate

Yes, well, you know what they say about brains falling out of minds that are too open. I agree that people should not be compelled to use pronouns they don't believe in. I must go to bed. This is me on postmodernism:https://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-postmodernism-and-its-impact-explained/ …

That characterisation of Freud is also dead wrong IMHO. But it's what I'd expect from him.

*facepalm* Start with 12 rules. You're literally picking up the MOST convoluted piece the man has written and trying to dissect it as a layperson. YES its not going to make shit for sense. Its a god damned magnum opus ... what do you expect?
