The vast majority of his critics are just too stupid to understand his arguments. Can anyone please let me know what your problem with him is WITHOUT straw man arguments or misrepresentation of his position.
Inb4 "hurr Durr he never makes his position clear and just dances around questions"
>too stupid to understand his arguments No, they're unwilling or incapable of accepting them. Cognative dissonance is a powerful thing.
Asher Murphy
Yeah I agree with a lot of what he says... But God is pretend
Noah Rivera
Not a good reason. This is the same as saying " your points and arguments are invalid because you don't believe in God."
James Harris
Given your attitude, i'd say you should listen to him talk about productive conversations and how to have them.
Owen Rivera
His critics have just seen his shit before. He just put a new coat of paint on old ideas.
Kevin Adams
Just fuck off, you are a prime example of the exact type of idiot, who doest listen to his full arguments
Xavier Turner
Stop using this hypothetical as a crutch and address his actual arguments you lazy cuck
Blake James
I don't care what you think. It was asked what our problem with him is. He believes in a specific god as if it were real. That's my problem with him.
Jacob Powell
What's his position on Israel, again?
James Thomas
He believes that without religion society will become full of nihilistic suicidal babies. This is mainly because he contributes western civilizations success to Christian values. Even if I don't agree with this small subset of his opinions, I really enjoy listening to his debates and he is a very articulate and clear speaker and there need to be more of him in the world.
Eli Phillips
Cheerleading NPCs happy about the pointless non-argument. Rekt indeed. Guess we're done talking.
Robert Phillips
If he believes something so utterly ridiculous, insane and misguided I can't take his opinion seriously on anything else, he has a huge gap in his logic there so why wouldn't he in other places
Caleb Perez
He is still a libcuck his ONLY saving grace are free speech and anti "hurrr womunnzzz is opressed". I am smart enough to agree with him on those.
Samuel Torres
he’s never read anything remotely related to “postmodernism” and gets his info on it from a conspiracy theorist no philosopher takes seriously. I personally think it would make the world better if Peterson and all his followers were raped and murdered on live tv so we have examples of how not to be.
Hudson Williams
Everything is pretend on a long enough time scale. He knows what he's talking about. I've watched every recorded clip of Hitch and Dawkins and Peterson is not another confused evangelist. His argument is that the "truth" of the Bible predates the scientific method by a few thousand years and the truth it is conveys cannot be understood in the same way a scientific truth is.
The universe is analog, not digital, and cannot be reduced to an IF...THEN statement. Shit is complicated, and his argument runs perpendicular to both evangelism and atheism.
David Turner
Thank you for providing an actual answer. I accept your position and appreciate you not acting like a child like other morons who have replied

Dominic Evans
Simpe
He sounds like kermit the frog and it annoys me
Connor Jones
I have an MA in philosophy and know more than you and I can say verifiably peterson followers deserve the death penalty.
Nicholas Ward
Why isn't he able to accept someone's pronouns because gender is binary but when asked on whether or not he believes in God he won't answer because he feels boxed in to giving a binary answer?
Jordan Sullivan
Hasn't the constant downfall of religion proven him right. Considering the degeneracy and disgustingness of western society over the las 70 years? And, no, I'm not religious.
Thomas Ward
I'm a NAVY SEAL with 47 confirmed KIAs etc. etc.
Brody Gutierrez
Okay well then your opinion is effectively worthless for this discussion. Do is all a favor and don't reply anymore.
Brody Morgan
Wrong.
Logan Hernandez
Which is exactly my view of Petersons opinions
Joseph Lewis
Gender is not complicated.
God is, and he gives a very eloquent answer. Your inability to comprehend the nuance of what he's saying doesn't mean he isn't saying it, it means a freshman has wandered into the wrong classroom.
Landon Moore
Anyone who joins the navy or military also deserves the death penalty.
Hey faggot. Look up stephen hicks book explaining postmodernism. Peterson lifts his whole shtick from hicks who’s a fucking follower of Ayn Rand and is a laughing stock in academic philosophy. He knows nothing about postmodernism or marxism and I reiterate, should be raped and murdered on live tv.
Adam Torres
>without religion Well this isn't exactly what he's said though. His arguments on religion revolve arround meaning and how religion can provide it. But he does put forward more ways to find meaning outside of religion. E.G. adopting responsability.
He makes this argument, then draws a parallel to jesus carrying the cross. This isn't an argument from religion, but one for meaning and then a statement validating certain religious ideas from the first argument, by showing how religion has served to help people find meaning.
The important part for him isn't that you are religious, but that you understand the meaning behind religions in general.
He doesn't just speak about christianity, he also references taoism and buddhism a lot.
There's meaning behind stories we've told each other for thousands of years, otherwise we wouldn't have bothered.
Justin Myers
>Gender is not complicated. Neither is giving an answer on whether of not you believe in God. Try again.
Liam Taylor
He's never even claimed to be a Christian nor has he in any way promoted Jesus as the messiah. He refuses to answer questions regarding god and religion - that's not what his message is about. It's about assuming responsibility for yourself as an individual and eschewing identitarianism.
Isaiah James
>and there need to be more of him in the world does it really? I, for one, would appreciate if he stopped jumping out of my fridge (that doesn't even have wifi)

Eli Mitchell
> He believes that without religion society will become full of nihilistic suicidal babies.
Friedrich Nietzsche thought the exact same thing, yet: 1. We're all still here. 2. All of the nasty shit that goes on in the world.. the kind of shit that just makes rational people want to quit life.. is STILL mostly caused by all of the irrational religious nutters.
Without religion, and the irrational notions of the existance of deities, Human existance would be close to Utopia. Jordan Peterson, et. al., are all fallowing a philosophy of self-perpetuating doom, and because the core of their beliefs is irrational, they will only ever see the opposite.
Dylan Moore
Clearly wrong. You need to watch more of his lectures.
Lucas Johnson
he never makes his position clear and just dances around questions
Lincoln Collins
Sure, just keep ignoring my question, that'll make my problems with him vanish
Nolan Foster
I feel like your anger is the result of exposure to the judgment of the chaotic feminine and long-term abstinence.
Chase Hughes
He's stated he would call someone by their prefered pronouns if he knew them personally, and he often refers to people as he/she based on how they are presenting.
The only thing he's said about pronouns is that using them should not be compulsory by law, which it is now in Canada. It is very dangerous for a government to compel individuals to use certain language. That was his main argument. He has never said anything disparaging about trans people or being trans in general.
Easton Walker

That means youtube thinks you're interested in his videos. Meaning your viewing habits are very similar to people who do want to watch him.

Noah Morris
That's not my question.

If anyone doesn't get the problems; it's both an appeal to the audience and ad-hominem. None of his actual arguments were refuted. Just an attack on his character
Landon Fisher
Clearly you do if you think your logical fallacy is an answer to my question. You answered something I didn't ask.
Cameron Carter
Honestly, I didn't pay any attention to the guy until about a month and a half ago. I'm really critical of the far left, but I still maintain a center left-right stance on things.
I finally sat down and listened to the things he said on Joe Rogan and a couple of the more attack-based interviews and most of his lecture series he did on the pinnochio film. I honestly couldn't see what everyone was getting pissed about. There wasn't anything unreasonable being said. It actually took me a while to realize he was religious, and even when I did it was more from a stance of individual morality than anything else.
But because I watched all of that I started getting a bunch of right wing nutter videos and people freaking out about ghostbusters and captain marvel, which i couldn't really give a shit about. And they are getting as worked up about stupid shit as much as the identity politics leftists are. I'd prefer it if both sides would just shut the fuck up.
But as far as what he's saying, it all seems fairly measured and reasonable. I don't get what they're having a hard time with.
Juan Hall
Peterson has never had an original, interesting or useful thought in his life and if you like him you should be castrated.
Benjamin Lee
>Yea Forums is one person LOL rekt
Elijah Cruz
No it's not. You don't believe in things that there's no evidence for. Believing in god is as credible as reliving in Zeus, or unicorns, or zombies. It's all retarded make believe shit that only autists take seriously.
Your question entirely misrepresents his argument in teh first place. Clearly he doesn't accept the hypothetical model of "non-binary" gender, as basically all scientists aside from misinformed post-modernist psychologists believe.
Because he doesn't accept this theory for reasons he's already explained, your question wouldn't apply to him. Prove your theory of gender being "non-binary" to be true and ask your question again. Or go away.
Austin Wright
He dons't understand science, but thinks that he does.
Isaiah Brooks
>stupid shit This is how you keep pushing insane liberal shit. By pretending replacing white with spics and blacks and pretending women are stronger than men. By not caring about the little cuts, you eventually bleed out. Be more weak. What you agree with about peterson is exactly why you disagree with "the right". And that's the slow creep of degeneracy and bullshit.
Eli Evans
his daughter is extremely rapeable. that’s the only good thing jordan peterson has ever brought into the world is this pair of tits.
Nice post, dude. Almost as good as mine right here.
Jacob Reed
Because it's a bunch of new bullshit that came out of humanities courses by far left intersectional feminists who want us to think there's no genders or multiple genders or that gender isn't the same as sex etc etc basically ignoring what we've known for thousands of years because they want us to play pretend with them.
They can call themselves whatever they want. But the rest of the world is under zero obligation to do the same. However when you begin to do things like pass laws that get people fired or have people get arrested because they won't play along with your delusions (how many genders are there? if you ask most intersectionalists/trannies, you'll get as many answers as there are supposed genders - because it's all made up bullshit) - then it's time to reign in their bullshit.
Despite peoples beliefs to the contrary, your rights end don't end where their feelings begin.
You're still arguing something that isn't my question. I don't know why you keep deflecting instead of just answering the question.
Adam Ortiz

Why should society at large be legally required to play along with a formerly small minority so they can play their game of Lets Pretend because they're unwilling to seek mental health treatment or want to exert passive aggressive control over others?

Jordanetics: A Journey Into the Mind of Humanity's Greatest Thinker
Jordan Peterson also happens to be a narcissist, a charlatan, and an intellectual con man who doesn’t even bother to learn the subjects upon which he lectures. He is a defender of free speech who silences other speakers, a fearless free-thinker who never hesitates to run away from debates, difficult questions, and controversial issues, a philosopher who rejects the conventional definition of truth, and a learned professor who has failed to read most of the great classics of the Western canon. He is, in short, a shameless and unrepentant fraud who lacks even a modicum of intellectual integrity.

not who you're responding to, but thats absolute unmitigated horseshit.
just because people aren't falling all over themselves embracing the "woke" lunacy and announcing their pronouns and saying they're able to see both sides of some arguments doesn't mean they're right wing.
To the radical left, centrists are right wingers. To the neocon trumptards, centrists are a bunch of hippy dippy lefties.

David Gutierrez
You don't even have a clue what his perspective is. You've heard a few of your friends bitch about what they misunderstand about him and you do no further research. And what is a "left leaning" perspective on women and relationships? You think Peterson is advocating for them to stay at home and cook and clean? Fuck off - you don't even know what you're complaining about. You're calling a centrist a "right winger," which shows that you see the world through the veil of identity politics - which is exactly what Peterson warns against.

William Rodriguez
He claims that anyone doing a good deed, theist or atheist, is doing the good deed because of religion and god's influence on society. He's saying there cannot be any good in society without a god or that god causes all good in society, even in those who don't believe in god. It's a pretty piss-poor argument and makes absolutely no sense.

not necessarily. I support gay rights/marriage, but i think identity politics, especially with genders has become more of a status symbol than an actual movement because victimhood is a way to get power quickly.
Alternatively I find trump and almost all of his supporters to be fucking lunatics, but I think we do need to be fiscally more firm with china. I just wish it was being done by someone smarter than him.
Joseph Gray
many of his positions are correct but his arguments for them are insufficient, generally because he bases his positions on particular things (e.g. pronouns) on very general arguments that he's made prior (the concept of freedom or responsibility). This is to say, his positions are fine, but they don't cohere. He's more right by coincidence than by method.

Because the answer would would muddy his message, as it's not important. He doesn't want his beliefs turning anyone off from hearing his message. That's why he keeps it private. This was already answered.

lmao implying people don't care about habermas. I bet you'd suck off papi rawls
Oliver Ramirez
bro you asked a retarded question and it was answered, lol fuck off
David Jenkins
no, you're avoiding everything pressed against you and throwing around insults instead of having any meaningful conversation. congrats on wasting my time i guess
Liam Roberts
Too dumb to understand his points I see
Gabriel Sanchez
this is the only good comment in this thread
Jackson Howard
that was the goal. go back to making drones that kill people or whatever thing you’ve convinced yourself isn’t a meaningless way to live your life
Angel Reed
Not the user, but I gotta let you know that you're the one that needs to see his lectures. He speaks about theology and the stories that are contained within many religious texts as a means to learn about the human condition. He's only ever said that he lives as though a god exists because the morality that is found within the Christian religion in its modern form rules that are generally a good way to live life by.
Julian Brown
Well, i'm a center-left and it is identity politics. it's the most center name i can come up with it. Leftists tend to just call it "human rights" but me not agreeing to call a genderlfuid by their ever-changing pronouns isn't a violation of human rights. It's simply not playing along with an exhausting person who wants everyone to walk on eggshells around them.
Jonathan Rivera
Glad you didn't give up after all. If his answer is already muddied based off assumption, how would it hurt his "message" more if he answered a simple question? It makes him look more incompetent to dance around it saying he's "boxed in". Kind of like how hypocritical it is for him to be an advocate of free speech, but dis-invite someone from a free speech event for having different opinions. >bro you asked a retarded question And you, as a retard, was unable to answer it.

I work on ML algorithms for medicine actually, diagnostic stuff. You should read into it, you might learn something
>u can survival off meat only ooga booga >no don't attack daddy peterson for his poor health choices >i live only by numbers that I had to go to obscure websites to find
Liam Gutierrez
that’s cool i worked on three ML algorithms for medicine this morning
Tyler Walker
>but me not agreeing to call a genderlfuid by their ever-changing pronouns which frankly is a made-up controversy and nobody's getting you to do anything. And if you say you've got links, then yeah you're full of shit. "Identity politics" is a good thing.

People were doing it well before him. You're just dumb.

His answer? You mean his message? I already this.
Look, I know it's tough when you're sitting at home and you work up a question that you totally believe somehow puts a hole in an academics credibility. You type it all up, feeling confident, and it gets annihilated as the stupid, baseles, meaningless question it is. Because, let's face it, even if it was a valid question, what would it matter? Why nitpick this one specific issue so much? Because you have an agenda. You argue from emotion and refuse to see logic, and when your facade is exposed, you end every post with:
but you still haven't answered my question.
So allow me to pose a question: why do you think it's so important for you to believe that Peterson is somehow incompetent or not to be listened to because he refuses to answer a "binary" question, when at the same time criticizing him for not seeing gender as non-binary?
Jackson Green
I already answered this*
Jaxon Howard
And guess what: People lived drastically shorter lives. In the end, IDGAF what he wants to do. I'll gladly keep my balance of meats, fruits, vegetables, and all different kinds of foods that I can eat. Peterson will just have to prove he won't fuckin die.
Bentley Wood
The people who have lived longest since modern medicine keeping people barely alive..........??? Want me to rek you again??
William Lopez
Agnostic here. It's stupid to be certain that there's no god. Don't conflate Christianity with every belief in god.
Hudson Parker
Really? Try calling someone "dude" when they identify as a female, despite clearly being a male.
Try getting arrested for "misgendering" or "deadnaming". Or losing your job.
I absolutely support anyones right to call themselves whatever they want. But I should have no obligation at all to play along with them.
>you're full of shit So I provide news stories of it and you're preemptively dismissing it. That's about on par with my own personal experiences with the far left. The same group that is calling a civil rights pioneer like martina navratilova "Transphobic" because she refuses to disregard basic science that doesn't align with progressive far-left narrative. Or calling feminists "old" and right-wing because they don't consider people with dicks to be women.

Why instead of answering my question did you type that mini sperg-out in the middle attacking me? Can you not help yourself but ad hominem? How, as an intellectual, can you answer a question with a question? But I'll humor you. I don't think and internet argument on Yea Forums is important. You keep assuming my stance on JP because I'm willing to ask questions about him, while I'm just curious as to why you think he's infallible because he's unable to answer a question with a "yes" or "no". It says a lot about you intellectually when you're not only unable to answer my questions but consistently cherry pick my questions to suit your narrative.
>I don't think and internet argument on Yea Forums is important. So you fuck around with semantics and troll - I already knew this but I thought maybe you were someone worth having a serious conversation with. Figures.
And you still haven't answered my question.
Hudson Campbell
>I'm just curious as to why you think he's infallible
Look who's assuming stances now ;)
Xavier Gray
No. I was just asking my questions seriously, you just couldn't answer them. I have answered your question, you're just a spiteful contrarian. No need to samefag. It's clear what your stance is on JP based off your unwillingness to answer anything that would "hurt his message", to put it into your words.
Christian Gomez
He's not any smarter than the average joe. that's about it. He makes arguments about how human society should be conducted and justifies it by pointing to serotonin in lobster brains. The comparison makes no fucking sense, but since he doesn't debate competent people usually, he gets away with it. His debate against atheist Matt Dillahunty left him completely wrecked.
Landon Carter
it's about more than just genocide, it guarantees them as a protected class that cannot be discriminated against in any way
which seems ok at first, until you have trannies abusing the law in all sorts of strange ways
skim that page for a quick rundown on how much trouble a single trans troll can cause when they've got the law on their side
as hilarious as it is that a tranny is trying to force (with the power of a human rights tribunal) women to shave his nutsack, there is something seriously wrong with him being able to bully people like that
Robert Howard
You obviously did not watch that debate and settled for a heavily edited and cherry picked video about the video where some other autist who is too dumb to understand his arguments "explains" what happened in the debate and how Dillahunty "won" the debate. Explain why you think Dillahunty won, you NPC.
Parker Bailey
I guess they gave up again.
Brandon Brooks
Who cares if people critique him? Can't you just like someone on your own wo caring what other people say?
he says a bunch of words and i am not smart enough to follow
Jason Gomez
Sure you can, but that is not interesting. Ideas need to be hashed out vigorously to determine their validity. His critics resort to slanderous misrepresentation and do not actually address his arguments.
Luis Wilson
Who is he?
Liam Rogers
The vast majority of his supporters are too stupid to criticize anything.
Dominic Hall
He is trying to get people, men in particular, to rediscover the good qualities about themselves, and how they can use these qualities to better themselves and their society, and indeed the world. I don't hink he actually belives in God, but he knows that admitting he is an atheist would severely damage his mission. He sees the virtue in using religion to get people to be good, even though he may not be religious himself.
Most of what he says is a jumbled mess with very little solid evidence behind it. He bases his psychology off Jungian archetypes for fucks sake, Jung being someone who has been completely discredited at this point.
Just look at this fucking mess of a diagram, it's like a conspiracy theorist just went completely off the rails, it's gibberish.
Your opinion of his opinions are not based on the validity of his opinions, but instead on his view of an unrelated subject. Objectively, your opinions don't matter in this discussion, while the discussion is necessarily related to his views (outside of religious belief or anything else unrelated to his arguments, because that's not what is being discussed).
Luis Murphy
A book written by Theo who actually shared a lot of the same views on religion, immigration, gender and more but was also a science fiction writer and struggling game developer.
Hardly a coffin nail. Just another guy with an opinion.
Oliver Nelson

If there any work going in 200BC Greece we'll let ya know.
Michael Evans
He strawmans socialism a lot and has repeatedly backed out of debates with prominent Marxist thinkers. I like a lot of what JP says and stands for, but he’s made enemies out of reasonable people by essentially trying to turn their movements or ideologies into a scary existential thread, possibly not realizing that sensationalist scapegoating is what’s in now and is contributing to his success
>Jordon Peterson >doesn't use misrepresentation of his position Please tell me you're joking. Jordon B Peterson uses misrepresentation every damn time to trick his opponents into painting him as a villain -- just so he can better defend his position. He's an underhanded snake.
Look at the whole 'forced monogamy' thing. Jordon was in that whole mess because he chose a controversial sounding name for something that was actually reasonable and bland.
Guess what, when the reporters attacked his position, he pulled the rug on them. That's just an insubstantial way to win an argument. Nobody is going to take you seriously when you pull back and say "N-No guys, I really meant this" all the time.
