this is basically what social conservatism has always been, only new thing is actually analyzing it as a "market" and it's always been a good idea
-
(for that matter, actual social conservatives have always been way more receptive to the same argument made about money; Market Uber Alles is a modernist invention)
-
yeah, that fits with my working conclusion that Marxism is the real reaction around here it's horseshoes all the way down
-
there are about ten thousand different linear spectrums people are using, and everyone sees everyone on the other side of their most important spectrum as the same

What's even funnier is this could have started out as a sarcastic joke but then their fans ran with it and they're stuck now having to pretend they believe it because they can't call their fans out on being blatant idiots.

aahaha that would be lovely but no, their totem Unwin was writing about this a hundred years ago

Well he wrote about why monogamy was vital, but not in such blatantly contradictory terms to the rest of his corpus. I mean it's liklely that Peterson is just dumb enough not to realise this, based on his work, but I like to think he tried to make a joke and is now stuck.

nah. JBP is pretty good on a lot of things but his most embarassing massive blindspot is the Tradcon values, which he is frequently guilty of trying to construct post hoc justifications for based on psychology and evolutionary biology. Usually turns out as cringeworthy apologia.
-
The best I can say about him is he occasionally finds truisms and then explains them really boringly. He's utterly undeserving of the level of fame he has, which is pure wingnut welfare driven.
-
I strongly disagree with that and if I knew you better I'd maybe want to talk about it, but I don't, and I'm tired. I think you may be doing a lot of tribal affiliation or guilt-by-association because you don't like who you imagine his audience is.
-
Or I've listened to him when he did his book tour here for 12 Rules For Life and he made the most softball journalist we've got struggle to get something interesting out of him, and I know that he's only internationally famous for being a low-tier dick to his trans students.
-
yeah, I think I was right that I don't want to talk about this with you. have a nice day!

I long since suspected that commie shit and psychoanalytical nonsense are aetiologically related (this relationship might also explain while freud's nonsense made soviet censorship often unreasonably asshurt) This further exacerbates my suspicion
