on the one hand, he has basic theory of mind about his political opponents and advocates good practices like "first put your house in order" on the other hand, "enforce monogamy", "gee does casual sex necessitate government tyranny" stating these calmly doesn't make them "mild"

well, I've not heard his economic viewpoints yet. You may very well be right that he's a lassie-faire type. We'll see as I watch his videos.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

the government enforcing monogamy would be bad because the government could be taken over and the enforcement could be changed. what's desired is grassroots enforcement, treatment of those who don't behave properly as scum
-
well, historically the government has enforced monogamy, and don't tell me that monogamy means government mandated gf, because we both know that's not what it's meant historically. That's just a twitter meme.
-
i've said what it means like six times now it means that the social conditions mean heterosexually pairbond or die
-
you've repeated posted an equation that appeared to suggest that monogamy meant everyone had to have one partner. and I'm not pairbonded, but I'm not dead yet. I will be eventually, but so will married couples.
-
right, because we don't live in an enforced monogamy society (though it'll only be women that are forced to have partners of course)
-
nonsense. We do live in an enforced monogamy society, you can only marry one person by law. That's what it means, and word games from either you or Mr Peterson won't change that.
-
if we lived in an enforced monogamy society in the way Peterson wants, it would be nonsensical for Peterson to suggest we could change to an enforced monogamy society to solve our problems
-
I agree, it would! That's why I think he must be suggesting government-mandated-gf if he's suggesting anything. This raises another issue, which is the number of people following alternative lifestyles in this regard is still very few, so they can't be the cause of troubles.
