Well, if you’re not going to refute my argument at all,

Your / Peterson's Eugenicist "argument" is refuted by the FACT that plenty of conservatives are creative.



It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware
of whether or not his services are being used
as a means to accomplish evil ends -
and to act (or NOT) accordingly.
Have a nice, Ultra Wherever, day.

If Dr. Peterson had said categorically that no conservatives are creative, your point actually would be a refutation.

However, that is only a strawman, and not what Dr. Peterson actually said (starting at 0:06): "Conservatives tend to be lower in openness, which is a trait associated with creativity; and higher in conscientiousness, which is a trait associated with industriousness and orderliness." He is describing statistical trends. Patterns. And there are outliers to every trend. But what you said does not actually refute his point.

If you're going to refute someone's argument, represent it honestly.
