Well presented my friend!

Unfortunately, our educational institution’s stopped teaching Burke during the ‘progressive era,’ 100+ years ago.
That being said—

Well presented my friend!

Thank you. I've always been impressed with the wisdom of Burke. Glad to see it is shared.

Unfortunately, our educational institution’s stopped teaching Burke during the ‘progressive era,’ 100+ years ago. That being said—

Yes, and more's the pity.

Something you might not know is this: Adam Smith, who wrote "Wealth of Nations" (considered the father of Fiscal conservatism) and Edmund Burke (considered the father of Social conservatism) were not only contemporaries, they were good close personal friends, and their ideas are complimentary precisely because they were evolved together in their discussions with each other.

Both Burke and Smith were strongly influenced by each other in developing what became known as their signature works.

The great contribution of Peterson is that using social media he has bypassed the censorship of conservative ideas by the educational system and the MSM.

It is encouraging to see that young people, especially young men, are so receptive to his recommendations to ‘clean up your room’, take on responsibility.
