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 think we can like and respect men as the decent members of society that they generally are and still wish none of them were drawn to strange, socially conservative woo about Jungian archetypes and bible stories. I recently said this to a young man about it.pic.twitter.com/yZZrq73RVu

“Strange woo”. Not a very nuanced reaction to his ideas. Not surprising. It’s not easy to listen carefully and calmly to ideas that challenge so many preconceived notions. I think he is smart, honest, fair and not really a threat to anyone. Archetypes are fuzzy by nature.

I actually quite enjoy that. It's why I study postmodernism and religion. I still think they are woo, obviously.

Yes, woo is a field of study that has yet to be clearly scientifically corroborated. Although a field that is known virtually by everyone who has ever known a powerful poem, where mere words bridge a gap and connect to massive yet hidden ideas. Immeasurable, only knowable.

Ohhh, disappointed
. C’mon, just saying there are objective truths ( the chair) and subjective truths ( ideas, thoughts, meaning, archetypes etc). One is measurable the other exists in the realm of mind. Doesn’t mean they are not real.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

No, I genuinely did not understand you. You can be moved by poetry (which is not woo) without claiming it to be true, can't you? Real is not the same as true. Religion is real. It's not true tho.

I'm not in support of subjective truth whether it's the postmodernists or Peterson. Lived experience is not evidence. Narratives are not truths. Science isn't a cultural construction.

Unfortunately all truth is subjective.
