I disagree with Peterson on almost everything, but I will defend to death his right to be just as wrong as Chomsky.

@joeupton7058 Yeah that has been the mantra of reactionaries since antiquity. If you think that things get worse when things get better, I guess there is no reason to look for improvements. The reality is of course the opposite. Wise men make good times, which make even wiser men, who make even better times. When you are fighting for survival, you are not usually inclined to be curious and nuanced and open in your thinking.

@stephenhughes2526 If that was true, victims of bullying and veterans would have the strongest characters, when in reality they suffer from depression and often kill themselves.

@latioswarr3785 No, greatness comes when you are perfectly safe and have free time. I don't know the name of a single person struggling to stay alive, I know the names of hundreds of philosophers, mathematicians and scientists.

You're writing this like you're completely oblivious to the actual history of the religion. What makes Christianity and Islam special is that they explicitly call for faith, that faith is a virtue in itself. And within Christianity you have a schism of whether "works" are even relevant spiritually at all.

Where is the contradiction. Those tests don't measure morality or political opinion (other than a tendency to liberalism, which it got right in your case).

@RossArlenTieken It's honestly hard to believe that you actually lack the imagination to understand just how fantastically unconvincing all of that bullshit is from the outside. It's like you tacitly assume that everyone else must have the same motivated reasoning. As an exercise one can come up with similar justifications for any myth.

Peterson doesn't see the grandeur of political correctness, because he lacks faith even as small as a mustard seed.
