Bkmrk.
Peterson never comments directly on political events and doesn’t reveal anything about his economic beliefs nor does he declare he’s one thing or the other.
The left doesn’t like him because he describes, psychologically and scientifically, what exactly is wrong with SJWs thinking, and the evil of post-modern social sciences.
So he’s really attacking the philosophical basis for most Leftist thought, and does so very intelligently and logically.
... color me *shocked* ... (and *stunned*) !!!

The Left isn’t afraid of Peterson, he’s literally being promoted by the media.
He’s a controlled opposition outlet meant to act as a release valve over the SJW “mind your pronouns” garbage.
Reason to buy his books. I have two of them.
The Jordan Peterson phenomenon hit critical mass with the Cathy Newman interview. It was my first exposure to him. If you’ve not seen it, search it on google.
He is killing it because he says what he means and destroys literally anyone who tries to disagree with him. Love his videos.
Incredible that an article like this made it into the pages of the Atlantic. Jordan Peterson is at once emotionally inspiring and intellectually profound. A good combination!
It’s interesting that the Atlantic (and Daily Beast for that matter) do at times publish fine articles.
Much of his power as a thinker comes from the fact that he isn't a partisan. He just lets the facts speak for themselves.
Actually, facts and common sense aren't partisan either. And he is using them to destroy all kinds of stupid human thought.
It just so happens that the great preponderance of stupid thought comes from the left.

Bullseye.
He does it very well.
Yahoo surprised me as well with the article on the Walkaway movement...#Walkaway http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3677908/posts
“The Left isn’t afraid of Peterson, he’s literally being promoted by the media.”
Exactly. “Wrecking SJW’s” on YouTube isn’t exactly a counter-revolution, is it? Cleaning up your room won’t stop the slide into degeneracy.
This is in The Atlantic ???

The very basis of leftist thought is that truth is subjective.
A belief in truth leads to Christ. At least it did for me.
Thanks kingu ... this almost reminds me of the day I discovered Rush Limbaugh in 1989 ... I was on my lunch break and went out to my car to tune in a Yankees game on WABC radio, but instead of the Yankees there was this guy talking stuff which I'd never heard before on any radio broadcast, stuff which I agreed with.
Rush was made possible by repeal of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" (thank you President RR), which was a wholly unconstitutional suppression of free speech, which the Left are still trying to revive to this day. They can't win in the marketplace of ideas so they have to suppress that which goes against their quest for tyranny.
... I'm rambling here, but you get the gist of what I'm saying ....
FReep On, m'FRiend,

Brilliant essay.
Does anyone agree that Peterson is sowing feelings, but not logical progression to a principle from which to reason?
Is that Jungian?
OK, I haven’t read the rest of the article, which I will now do, but I REALLY like the way this is starting.
If you’re a FReeper, and don’t know about JBP, you need to fix that.
Some good starting points. Worth the time.
