If you've got a few hours, this is a fascinating discussion. Both Peterson and Harris genuinely seem to striving for common understanding and progression.
- Jeez, What's with the fucking down vote? There's no finer way to show ignorance and cowardice.Morning_star
- maybe somebody has watched it and doesn't like it. Or doesn't like them in general. what does it matter?Fax_Benson
- upvoting without having watched it is equally pointless.Fax_Benson
- plus ça change.Morning_star
- It's cool that there are interesting discussioins online. I just don't understand the aggression.Fax_Benson
- There are finer ways to show ignorance and cowardiceFax_Benson
- I could explain Fax but ultimately you're right, it really doesn't matter. I should be more charitable.Morning_star
- Someone downvotes all postsdrgs
- someone posted an article from the person that recruited Peterson and their regret in doing so. anyway... the guy is a bit...shapesalad
- downvoted simply for the notesimbecile
- Peterson is fine when talking about tidying up cupboards, but he believes in sky gods so can't take him seriously.PhanLo
- Are you sure PhanLo ? Because in these two videos (and any other source you care to ignore) he goes to great lengths to explain that he doesn't.Morning_star
- Wee why did he waste 30 minutes of my time skirting round the subject in previous discussions? I'll give the talk a listen and see what he has to say.PhanLo
- thanks for adding this M_s. Had been hearing about these and glad for the glimpse.MrAbominable
- there's a talk below (which is great actually aside from peterson losing his knickers when his arguments are dismantled) where he yet again discusses thefadein11
- importance of sky Gods.fadein11
- I don't think he does Fadein11. His focus is on the utility of myth as a carrier of survival truth. He focusses on Christianity because he believes that it's..Morning_star
- ...myths/narratives... are the most appropriate and considered from the western perspective. He talks very little about god.Morning_star
- Peterson discusses the importance of the narratives we've built around 'sky gods' not the sky gods themselves. He's trying to break down those stories as they..Ianbolton
- explain what it was to be human hundreds of years ago. They were one of the main reasons we could collaborate and work together as a speciesIanbolton
- So I think some of those stories have shaped who we are today, so why not try and dissect them, trying to understand more about human behaviourIanbolton
- yep indeed that's what I said isn't it? I didn't say he believed in them. Was that directed at Phanlo?fadein11
- @ian, I completely agree, and it's been looked at a great deal prior to Peterson. He falls apart in the video below when he connects ethics to said beliefs.fadein11
- I do enjoy what he has to say on those subjects though, which is a bitter pill to swallow considering I disagree with so much other stuff he says.fadein11
- lol at the downvote triggeringernexbcn
