What’s So Dangerous About Jordan Peterson?
- Chris2048 9y ago> James Damore, the former Google software engineer who wrote a memo complaining about the company’s "ideological echo chamber" and asserting that biological differences between men and women explain, at least in part, the gender gap in the tech industry. It almost brought a tear to the eye to see a publication actually summarise that right.

- Chris2048 9y agoHmm, that's strange. I thought dupe-detection was automatic when submission dates are close?
- RobertRoberts 9y agoI heard Peterson say something interesting about respect in a youtube video once. I never thought about the idea of who deserves my respect, it certainly isn't everyone, and it's not strangers. It seems like a social mob is bent on changing the very definition of language (like what "respect" actually means) to suit a belief system. Nobody wants mob rule, unless it's their mob. Common sense and logic dictate to us that we should oppose all mobs, even one that appears to support our beliefs, because the nature of a mob is emotional, and common sense does not lead a mob. Eventually your own mob may turn on you.
