DHH's opinion on Peterson
- gnabgib 2y agoYou're editorializing. Tweet text: I'm an atheist, but I've enjoyed many of his religious allegories. So too his various definitions of masculinity. And I find him a far more rigorous thinker than his detractors the vast majority of the time. That he's ALSO entertaining is a cherry on top!
- nwhnwh 2y agoI am sorry?
- gus_massa 2y agoIt's part of the guidelines https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids." > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
- nwhnwh 2y agoUpdated. Do you think the current one is ok?
- jfengel 2y agoBy "detractors", does he mean "the usual bunch of chumps rushing out hot takes?" If so, that doesn't seem a fair comparison. He's a supposed intellectual, and highly influential. They are just dipsticks with twitter accounts, about half of whom will have two-digit IQs just by the law of large numbers, possibly with dozens of followers. If "detractors" are themselves influential public intellectuals, it would be a stronger statement. But it would also require more support than goes into a tweet.
- hshshshsvsv 2y agoNice. It's good to have higher IQ individuals like you hanging around in hacker news to teach us what we should listen to.

- joegibbs 2y agoYou can't expect everyone to be perfectly ideologically pure on every topic. I'm not a fan of Peterson and honestly, I think that after the whole benzo addiction and coma I think he's kind of lost it, he's always putting out strange statements. But he's not even saying that he agrees with Peterson on everything.
- nwhnwh 2y agoHe is almost saying that. https://x.com/dhh/status/1843015457911287814?t=kJjk1pXTZx9jnK_Yg0ETIg&s=19 https://x.com/dhh/status/1843015457911287814?t=kJjk1pXTZx9jn...
- zero-sharp 2y agoCheck out his conversation with Matt Dillahunty.
- sidcool 2y agoSo what? Differing opinions seem to upset so many so easily.
- nwhnwh 2y agoThis is an opinion from a real intellectual https://youtu.be/6qnWqlYMipM?feature=shared https://youtu.be/6qnWqlYMipM?feature=shared And this is the article that he is mentioning https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2018/03/the-intellectual-we-deserve https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2018/03/the-intellectual...
- hshshshsvsv 2y agoCan't you just think for yourself?
- nwhnwh 2y agoI know very well that his level is so low, LOL.
