What is Tim Cook afraid of? What is the left afraid of? Truth. Why are they afraid of debate? I think I know why. It's something Jordan Peterson mentioned.
He said:
-most innovators tend to be liberal/progressive types
-Silicon Valley is very dominated by left leaning people
-a few exceptions like Elon Musk
-creative people tend to be more open minded
-80% of the people who comment on you tube, turn out to be men
-for some reason, most of the people who are good at debate, seem to be right leaning men
I think what happened was the more creative types, they invented the internet. The inventors tended to be the Tim Cook type of people: very liberal or progressive, very open minded. They the innovators, they expected most people, once exposed to ideas online, would be come like them, politically and culturally. That turned out, to be not true. Not only not true, but the exact opposite happened:
The right leaning people took over the internet, once it was established by the creative types. Right leading people actually have an advantage online. They aren't particularly creative, not nearly as much as the left. But right leaning people use reason and logic a lot more, are one hell of an opponent online. The political right is killing it, online. That's a big surprise. But that just means, we are only now starting to understand exactly why this happened. I don't think it's an accident most of the best content creators tend to lean right, most of the best people arguing and leaving comments, tend to be male and right leaning. It's a surprise, but not an accident. There's an explanation. All this was a big surprise to Silicon Valley and the creative class. They are now afraid of debate, because they will lose. They know it. Why? The Ben Shapiro type have a huge, huge advantage online.
The same sort of thing is happening in education. The root reason: It goes back to how people are born, what their natural tendencies are. And about how people sort themselves out, in life, based on their natural tendencies. Jordan Peterson and Jonathan Haidt have figured some of this out:
All of this sounds like Jordan Peterson's many comments on chaos vs. order, conservative temperament vs. liberal temperament. A lot of this is genetic. Jonathan Haidt has done work on innate political differences. It's influenced by genes. Why are some people more open, like to explore? Born that way. Why do some people like orderliness? Born that way. Especially people who end up being accountants. The trouble with progressives now, is they are bigots. We are figuring this out. It's a surprise. It's not the old bigotry. It's a new sort of bigotry, they don't even recognize in themselves. It's the sort that assumes every child comes out the same, every child is born close to their progressive ideals. Every child is a future progressive, if we can only brainwash, err I mean educate him or her, along those lines, getting rid of tradition, family, religion and have drag queens educate them all.
Jordan Peterson once gave a lecture at Cambridge 4 years ago. Someone once asked him if a lot of what he was saying as a psychologist, was just the conservative psychologists reacting to liberal psychologists. Dr. Peterson responded something like: "There are no conservative psychologists in the world. The profession is entirely dominated by the progressive types, just like the overwhelming majority of academia. The only conservative psychologist in the world, is in this room. He's sitting in my chair." That's quite true. The creative elite, the academic elite, is 95% progressive/far left. Harvard and all elite universities are like that.
Of course the progressive view on education is rubbish, for many people. Most people don't want men in dresses to teach their children. For some reason, likely rooted in genetics, turns out scholarly work and some professions, just like Silicon Valley tend to attract people who are quite progressive and liberal in temperament. Progressives dominate the educating of our teachers. To terrible results. This leads to a massive philosophical blind spot in education. These people are wonderful and creative, but they have huge blind spots. That's what the culture war is about. A few eccentric creative people want everyone to be just like they are. It ain't happening. Just like all people are not cut out for pro basketball or being ballerinas. 🩰Their progressive theories about politics and education are inaccurate, because they don't take into account, people are born with all sorts of innate tendencies, and the children who weren't born the way they are "supposed" to be born, will suffer. In the end progressives will lose, victims of their own success, with it's accompanying blind spot.
