Richard Dawkins Slams Jordan Peterson

[stinkwink]

Well it depends entirely on what you mean by bullshit - Jordan Peterson

[elliothirst]

My take is that Peterson is actually an atheist who is trying not to alienate his Christian audience.

[Nxck]

Appreciated the dunk on Deepak Chopra. That guy is the king of pseudoscientific word salads.

[musonobari]

". . that is sheer bullshit and I told him so." - Like the real English Way 😂😂😂

Jordan Peterson can say in 20 minutes what
any normal person could say in a single sentence.

[manguy]

It's more like Peterson doesn't entirely understand Christianity and you're watching him learn about it in real time as he's working through it and wrestling with it.

[telholland]

This comment section is full of people who think they're very smart.

[frodehorgen]

Wonder how many people felt Dawkins just undermined their intelligence by suggesting that Peterson language is to advance for most people.

[GajanaNigade]

That RKO Outta nowhere to Deepak Chopra was completely called for.

When I was a graduate student at UC San Diego in the late '90s, I used to eat at a Thai restaurant in La Jolla that was next door to the Chopra Center. One evening a friend and I were having dinner at the restaurant, and we spent most of the dinner listening to a pompous windbag engaging in a very loud and embarrassingly moronic monologue on all sorts of esoteric subjects while a much younger and apparently submissive and impressionable man listened quietly and intently. The windbag had his back to us, so we couldn't see his face, but we heard every word of his drivel. At one point my friend and I leaned toward one another across the table to agree quietly that the fellow doing all the talking was a narcissistic moron. At about that point, the two people stood up to leave, and the windbag turned around so we could see his face. It was Deepak Chopra.

Imagine trying to serve Jordan Peterson at a bar.

What do you mean 'what'?
What do you mean 'can'?
What do you mean 'I'?
What do you mean 'get'?
What do you mean 'you'?

[leofreaking]

Admiring Jordan Peterson's "courage for standing up for free speech" is such a tell from old Dawkins

This world is full of people who think they are smarter than they are. Whose ego is bigger than it should be.

Snakes wrap around each other when they mate

[aliquida]

If Peterson was explaining a mathematical calculation:

Spent 10 minutes using the biggest words and convoluted description of the significance of the variables.

Then quickly bury in a comment of "and since 2+2=5, we can therefore conclude:"

And spend another 10 minutes of convoluted descriptions of his conclusion.

[Lynxdom]

Turns out ancient peoples were really into snake porn.

[cracktact]

It was my understanding that Peterson’s support of Christianity was based on its ability to “help those in need” in a psychological sense, more as a guide for how not to screw up your life and less as a “this is real guys” but I could be mistaken

JP has the ability to make complex ideas even more complex than they really are.

I stopped listening to Peterson when he was asked "Do you believe the Exodus happened?" and he replied "It's still happening." 🙄
