Why the Left Is So Afraid of Jordan Peterson

[Wales-Bales]

You have just done to me what most people do to Jordan Peterson, made a bogus approximation of what I think based solely upon what you thought I believed and not what I actually say.

I have some time for Peterson and I think he occupies a rather empty zone within the mainstream coverage of politics which makes him a useful aid to discussion. He can be a bit dramatic at times but I have no doubt that is just to encourage the fan boys.

You are acting like a 12 year old girl whose favourite popstar has just been insulted.

Not at all. I know how society works, narratives are created through storytelling, and they don't even have to be true. Just keep on repeating the message, get the media onboard and voila, a new construct is created. I can see why the people who are involved this kind of thing dislike Peterson, cos he deals in decontructing reality. I've actually been running my own social experiment of sorts, seeing what it would take for people to reach an awareness that would make them question their own information system attachments. Surprisingly, people double down when their world views are challenged. In fact, people group together as though strength in numbers will make their beliefs stay true. It's all very fascinating, and now we have our own psychologist onboard to add some analysis.

I think Mr Peterson has hit the nail on the head ,he's a shrewd lad,
