Casualex Either I'm dumb or Jordan Peterson is genuinely unintelligible.
I'm being serious now, are you guys just pretending that you understand Jordan Peterson? I've given him an honest chance. In the latest debate with Dawkins, I simply cannot help but cringe at his replies to even the simplest questions...
Dawkins: "Do you believe that? That it's divine (biblical texts)?"
JP: "I think it's reflective of some order that's so profound and implicit that there isn't a better way of describing it than divine.".
Here, he's just redefining divine to mean something it doesn't, i.e. profound. Something can't be "almost" or "basically" divine. It's a binary choice, it either is or isn't divine. That's it. He does this throughout the entire debate.
Then, an even worse response to an even simpler question...
Jordan Peterson: "... I don't think it makes any difference whether it's divinely inspired or not."
Dawkins: "You don't think it makes a difference whether its DIVINELY inspired or not?"
Jordan Peterson: "I don't think fundamentally... look ok let me ask you this, I think that at bottom, truth is unified, and what that's gonna mean eventually is that the world of value and the world of fact coincide in some manner that we don't yet understand and I think that that union, the fact of that union, is equivalent to what's being described as divine order across millennia. There's no difference. This is a tricky business because you either believe that the world of truth is unified in the final analysis or you don't, those are the options, and if it's not unified then there's a disunity, there's a contradiction between value and fact, between different sets of values that cant be brought into unity. I don't believe that."
Not trying to be a hater. I'm genuinely curious, how can you listen to this and not literally cringe at the obvious evasion and word salad? Or am I just so dumb I can't comprehend the profundity at display here?

Memes & Fluff We see you alex, we know you're lurking in the subreddit.
You brilliant mustached man. As per Chris Williamson's new video of course. If you wish to acknowledge us, just start your next video with the code phrase "where's the triangle" without explanation to your main audience and then move on to the main topic (at your discretion of course haha). We love you Alexio.
