"I thoroughly dislike Jordan Peterson"

- Winston Churchill

[jabcaan]

Not sure I've ever seen Peterson so engaged 😃

[PeterMasalski]

Do you believe in Christianity?
Peterson: The large conundrum of the oblivious state of creed worship brought upon by theological denominations utterly leads to the metaphorical excess devoid of reasoning within a social context in the case of the so-called fallacy of steadiness.
*Most people: Is that a yes or a no?

[SG-gqrf]

Not a Muslim, but if you take the idea that God wants to communicate with humans then it seems pretty self-defeating to allow a bunch of untruths and contradictions to enter your message and so you really do need infallibility in your text. What is the alternative? that you take some of the text as essential and others as mythological? who decides which is which? it is a can of worms.

[NeedSomeNuance]

Someone needs to pin JP down on the use of generalizations and yes or no answers to questions. If you ask him “how’s your day going?” He’ll easily be able to answer “decent” or “good” etc. but when you ask him about god, he pretends to suddenly not speak English or understand the use of generalizations

Jordan Peterson is a man who confuses big words with big thoughts. 😀

[kandola]

I feel like Jordan has been spiraling for the last few years

"Islam and Christianity are basically the same thing"
- Winston Churchill, probably

[ChroniclesOfCallum]

Debating Jordan Peterson is like a cow's proctology exam, It's largely an unpleasant thing, difficult to watch, and it's important someone qualified does it, or you get bullshit everywhere.

[benross]

Why are we talking about Islam and Christianity but not Judaism? The jews were the OGs who started the whole abrahamic religion trend

[changez]

I think Peterson learned something about the Quran in this discussion

[BrianRPaterson]

Peterson is turning into a supervillain. Dresses like The Joker, talks like The Riddler.

[Joshua-dcbs]

"The difference between Christianity and Islam is the metaphysical subtrate of which the Western ethos is ontologically and inextricably bound and out of which we derive our moral hierarchy of values."

-- Jordan Peterson, probably

[DevonMusizza]

This was one podcast where I felt nothing happened Jordan just couldn't answer a yes or no question to save his life

[SFBagent]

“Jordan Peterson is my least favorite comedian”- Winston Churchill

[miibrawler]

We don’t worship the Quran so no, we don’t treat the Quran how you treat Jesus

[jedsithor]

"If you had Jesus in front of you, you can't contradict him." Interesting line from Alex given that the entire Christian religion is based around contradicting Jesus. Jesus being God was an idea created by those who came after Jesus. The entire religion is based on what people came to believe about Jesus, not what Jesus believed about himself.

Summary of conversation: the truth doesn't really matter!

[malachix]

Love how Peterson came to the interview cosplaying as Will Smith in Fresh Prince

[daniestrijdom]

Alex is so good at making sure his guests don't feel like they are being attacked and then risking losing out on people's best effort to engage in an argument or conversation because they are offended or become disinterested.

Obviously Peter Hitchens is immune to these charms but even a broken clock is always wrong if you consider that it should not depend on when you look at it to actually trick you into thinking that it can do what it is supposed to.
