Not saying this is wrong, but I find this a bizarre thing to include.
“And you don’t get to salve your conscience for receiving a pay cheque that’s 300 times the pay cheque of the average worker by pretending you’re a social revolutionary.”
Nowadays, you not only get to, but must. It’s a job requirement.
I have fallen absolutely and hopelessly in love with this man. He has become my Hero, plus, plus, plus. Tucker Carlson had him on and he was so clear, rational and elegant in what he had to say on the topic, that I could not wait to learn everything I could about him. I immediately ordered his book, “12 Rules For Life, An Antidote To Chaos,” and I cannot put it down. I will read it and reread it until my brain can hold some of it’s wisdom. Has he been sent to us as an aberration in our time to stop some of the insanity which surrounds us? I do not want to worship anyone but God. However, Dr. Peterson is one of the few persons in my life whom I could easily idolize. He can be found on Twitter, You Tube, Facebook and other places on the internet. This is a man who knows truth and is not afraid to stand alone, if necessary, to speak it. How rare is that!
He is absolutely correct. Adopting the mantras of the left wing is not in the interest of the stock holders. Just be quiet and meet people’s needs as you have in the past
Or, if you reach your hand out to a leftist, he will tear your arm off and club you over the head with it.
Peterson is the last Jedi.
Peterson is Reason personified. In a one-on-one interview, he can not be defeated and can only be overwhelmed by shouting mobs that prevent him from speaking.
This Canadian farm boy grew up to be someone who treats very sick people and now has become an Atlas for the preservation of western culture.
“In addition, you don’t get to invite the radical leftists into your corporate utopia without opening the door to a major fifth column. If you are naive enough to think that the demand of the radicals for the transformation of your company is going to end with a few requests for language transformation then you’re a complete bloody fool.”

And this is what has introduced the many cancers that are metastasizing within our military services.
Truly a very important man. Folks here should get to know him and promote him.
Peter Drucker actually brought this up decades ago.
A business has one purpose and one metric - profit.
Social responsibility is a second purpose that interferes with the first, and it takes money, time and attention away from the business’ core competency.
If you want to run a charity, run a charity.
But a business is not a charity.
However, lots of liberals will try to turn a business into a charity because there is money and power there.

He saw economic totalitarianism in pre-WW2 where businesses were told you’ll pay these people a la welfare, and you’ll buy this as we order, until businesses were crippled or lost.
Liberals just have “kinder” branding for their fascism.
Peterson has a lot going for him. He is relevant, a scientist (a psychologist), an original thinker, has great academic credentials, very erudite, a great speaker, and has an impressive authority simply due to his physical presence and dedication to truth... almost like an old fashion preacher in a community.
He argues against the insanity of the left which comes in many forms. Many men seem to follow Peterson because he is presenting meaningful and practical solutions about getting one’s life in order, e.g., take on responsibility, dedicating oneself to speaking the truth, etc. As well, many men seem to be victimized these days due to the radical feminism claim that men are part of a tyrannical patriarchy. Peterson presents an antidote to these claims which is based, in great part, on science.
Peterson is now lumped in with the right but he is a classical liberal at heart. He doesn’t absolutely condemn the left and is interested in their concern about equality. According to Peterson, the problem of equality isn’t a political problem because it is not resolved with either the right or the left in power. It’s a deeper problem. Peterson is against the left’s notion of equality of outcome, but he is for equality of opportunity.
Many good things can be said about Peterson and he does seem to be needed today more than ever — as evident by his great appeal. He is a calm voice of reason against the left’s shrill demand to silence free speech. With things becoming ever polarized and radicalized (look at the insanity of the media) Peterson seems to be moving the culture back to some semblance of normalcy. He hates the irrationality and relativism of post modernism and wants western culture to reclaim its traditional identity with Truth and Logos.
