  1. "How long do you think about these tweets?" -- "About a second" They are highly intuitive. Re-integration of intuition (knowledge that takes into account unprocessed/unconscious observation as well as instinct and emotion) into the Great Conversation has been necessary ever since Enlightenment Rationalism banished it. We need human intuition to make a comeback, not just computer intuition (convolutional neural nets).

  2. I disagree with the idea that Peterson should deceive other people as to his point of view, in the hopes that more people will listen to all he has to say. If you think that what he has to say could be couched in gentler language, then is it up to YOU to do so. (After all, you're the Moon, aren't you? You reflect the light of the sun, so that those in darkness can endure it without being burned.)

  3. "I'm saying what everyone to the Left of you thinks" -- That is a truly staggering claim, to speak for EVERYONE of a certain type. If it really is true, maybe there's some emotionally-driven groupthink that "everyone to the Left of Jordan Peterson" ought to re-examine.

  4. "The Confederate flag isn't a Canadian issue" From the Canadian point of view, isn't everyone south of the 49th parallel (rather than the Mason-Dixon line) basically a rebel?

  5. "What you're doing does not match my conception of you" If it did, would that not be Audience Capture? Why would you be interested in listening to someone who exactly matched your internal model of them?
