Ignorant, binary opinions about @jordanbpeterson are now tribal membership badges. Culture warriors attribute generic tribal claims to him that he does not hold, afaict. This harms discussion, because what he actually says is different and more interesting.2 replies 1 retweet 40 likesShow this thread -
I write about meaning, nihilism, adult developmental psychology, and religious and cultural history. So does @jordanbpeterson. Our explanations often coincide—because they're mostly mainstream, not original. We're collators & popularizers mainly.https://meaningness.com/preview-eternalism-and-nihilism …1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
My training was in discrete mathematics, so I try to fit everything into a neat overarching system. Which is pretty funny, because the central premise of the system is that you can't fit things into a neat overarching system!https://meaningness.com/modes-chart 1 reply 0 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -
I tacitly expected @jordanbpeterson to have constructed a system, and tried to figure it out. I suspect now that systematization is not part of his approach. It's literary, not STEM-ish.

Both @jordanbpeterson and I write about the culture war. Some things he says I agree with; some I disagree; many I don't understand. He seems to be, roughly, a social conservative. I am not.https://meaningness.com/counterculture-war …3 replies 0 retweets 9 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @Meaningness @jordanbpeterson
Like you, he understands the nature of culture, and is able to distinguish between his stance in a culture war and the creation of meaning itself. I suspect that in a metaphysical or ideological discussion, you'd get along splendidly; you just explore differently.

I wonder how many of your differences are actually a result of him being heterosexual and starting from a Catholic null hypothesis?
