I really don't understand that video. Any old f*cker can have kids. Nothing high about that aim.

Fuck Peterson and his hatred for Trans gendered people. Asshole with a shallow knowledge of Buddhist thought should not be listened to.

  Oh wow. I didn’t know the answer to hatred was hatred...

    To be more explicit, the answer to unjustified hatred is reason. The parent poster does not put forth any argument.

  Should we stop studying Teichmüller theory too? Or do ideas stand on their own?

  I've never seen any evidence or quote that made him sound like that; not even a quote taken out of context. It'd add to this discussion (and to my personal knowledge for that matter, I keep hearing this repeated but nobody ever says why) if you could give us an example.

    The mods are probably enjoying their Thanksgiving, and the discussion likely won't be substantive or thoughtful. It would be a nice gift from us to them if we'd just avoid the topic.

    He has refused to call people by their preferred gender.

      His opposition is largely against legislation forcing people to use people's preferred pronouns, which is a position any defender of free speech should agree with.

I have children. That video gives quite a good perspective on life, using having kids as an example. But then who is he to judge? If someone want's to bum around all their life, not do or achieve much. Enjoy having lots of rest time. Watch Netflix, etc. Why not?
