the problem with peterson is the same as with nearly 100% of those cashing in on self-help advice: they fail to take into account that people are different. and, like evander said, it's frustrating to see otherwise intelligent people promoting such crap. (esp in my TL! (~_^) )
Oh, and everyone should try and watch as much porn as possible to lower rape rates.

HbdChick didn't i did .Nice strawman. Who said that?
-
you argued that Peterson telling people to not watch porn is an example of his dangerous advice?
-
She's saying that different people need different advice. Using your example of porn: some people might be more harmed by viewing porn than others. For some, alcohol consumption is ok, for others who are prone to addiction, it might be a problem.
-
Actually, the original reason porn was brought up by hereditarian suggested that porn might actually be a virtue in an empirically rooted morality since increased porn consumption lowers rape rates
-
Anyway, the idea that we can't come up with a general set of virtues that everyone, regardless of ability, can strive for and benefit from is precisely what I'm objecting to.
-
Why is it about virtue? It should be about maximizing the well-being of the individual.
