You share your life with a spouse, procreate with them, share resources etc. You LOVE this person. And sometimes you disagree to the point of real anger. WHY would you expect to agree 100% with others? It’s impossible!

It’s important to take into consideration the context of the environment in which those authors where. It helps you understand the past so much better.

"You don't throw away a Mercedes Benz because of a dent on the fender." We used to say that in 70s. "Take what is useful."

People also tend to do the opposite. They will ignore all the bad if there's one thing in it they like.

"You don't throw away the book, it's Nietzsche! "

I like how Dr Jordan is so passionate about it and be like "bruh pls, it's him"

I haven’t stopped watching jordan peterson’s vids because of this mindset

[quietguy-rxkv]

Where in this does he say that this is the problem with smart people? It sounds to me like he's describing unintelligent people who just *think* that they're smart.

This is a modern way of thinking with people these days. If they disagree with your views or opinion they immediately cancel you. There can be so many things you can see eye to eye but one different view can make them want to discard you.

Best writer I’ve ever read is C.S. Lewis. Probably the greatest intellectual of the last 100 years, and I’ve read every single book and short by him, never once have I agreed with EVERYTHING he wrote in a book, but man you learn so much by keeping reading.

This man just explained having your own brain and being able to decipher what you agree with vs what you don't without just shutting it all down lol

[jdoexrayvision]

That's insightful. You have to allow smart people to say dumb things sometimes and not throw away everything else because of it. JP has a few brown nuggets of his own.

I love how these shorts are actually perfect examples of what he’s talking about. Just look at some of the comments on his videos, for example

...its like getting pissed and calling people from the past gauged by the moral sensibility of today, they were people of their times...its a waste of being pissed...people just like putting down people because of this, it's back seat history...every philosopher has things that people didn't like when they were alive either, but read it because there's wisdom there, with some really uncomfortable things to....

Long before I ever heard of Jordan Peterson, I was a great admirer of 19th century European writers. I feel less alone when a man like him knows their greatness.

[vanessas]

It’s very necessary to do that with every piece of information we decide to learn

Honestly haven't been doing this for as long as I'd like to say. Cognitive dissonance is hard, it takes courage to see through it.
