And there goes any credibility that Peterson ever thought he may have.
I have no idea who this Jordan Peterson is. Now I know I don’t care to want to know.
Scott Adams asked Peterson about this and Peterson responded that it was a thought experiment, not something that was cast in stone. Adams accepted that clarification. Peterson often has thought experiments as he is trying to hash something out...it is what thinking people do. It doesn’t mean that he agrees with the thought, although I am surprised that he tweeted it out to wienstein...
I accept Peterson’s explanation. I do not know what Petersons thoughts are on the topic today.
Please remember that hie is a Canuck. As a yank who has lived in Ontario for most of my adult life, I can assure you that there are some fundamental differences between the two countries that one cannot appreciate unless one has studied and reflected on both closely.
I can assure Americans that his suggestion would make sense in the Canadian context. I can also assure Canadians that his suggestion does not make sense in the American context.
I can also assure Canadians that they, on average, spend too much time thinking about other countries—if Nations were a family, Canada would be an annoying big sister.
On the other hand,Americans need to be aware that there are other people who are North Americans, the North American countries are fairly closely linked, and the junior partners will necessarily spend much more time fretting about the senior partner than the senior partner the juniors. A comparison has been made to an elephant and mouse sleeping next to each other—slight changes will not affect the elephant much, but they may affect the mouse greatly.
Yep. Started believing his own press. A psychologist too, he should have recognized the symptoms.
Peterson has made a number of political related statements before.
Everywhere else he seems to be a genius, when it comes to politics he is uninformed and stupid.
