Jordan Peterson | Political Correctness and Postmodernism

He’s been cheered and condemned, boosted and banned… and now he’s at ideacity to offer perspectives from the front lines of the political correctness battleground. Professor and clinical psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson believes that no matter how controversial, we must recognize the importance of free speech – particularly on college campuses.

That man is a GENIUS! When he says that "it is ressentment and the demand of power disguised as compassion" what's driving the politically correct world! Bam! You cannot get clearer than that!

Once the fingers gets fluttering He's at his Very Best!!!

Why does everyone confuse Peterson’s rejection of compelled speech with Transphobia. They don’t take time to actually listen to the words, only what they want the words to mean.

I've never loved listening to anyone rant like this man in my life. Pure genius

The sheer number of people I meet that buy into postmodernism (often without even knowing it) terrifies me to my core.

Love that, "Even a French intellectual had to admit something was wrong!"

[aaronjohnson]

Love how Jordan never steps himself down in order for people to understand him, he forces you to come up, stretches your brain to comprehend what he’s saying

Activists 60 years ago: “I don’t care if you take me to jail, you can’t make me fight in a war I don’t believe in!” Activists today: “You have to call me xe/xim”

Huge thanks to Jordan Peterson's parents for creating this gem.

To anyone questioning Jordan Peterson's interpretation of this, and the language of Bill C16, there was a case before the Human Rights Tribunal in Canada exactly as he said. "Jessica" Yaniv used the legislation to identify as a woman, and took 12 immigrant women to the tribunals for refusing to perform Brazilian waxing on his testicles. The businesses were ruined, and the cases spent months in trial before reaching a verdict. Had it not been for Blair White, and many others who pulled extensive racist and bigoted social media rants from Yaniv, the tribunal would not have been able to reach the conclusion that this was an attempt to use a new law as a means of extortion to target immigrant women. This is exactly the case Jordan Peterson said would happen after this law it did.

I used to have a leftist leaning tendencies but but when I listened to Jordan Peterson’s discourse about so many current issues it opened my mind and accepted how blind I was to follow the left ideology. Jordan is one of the brilliant mind in this generation.

This man has an amazing ability to crystalize concepts.

[jaygonzalez]

The greatest thinker of our time. Jordan Petersen saved my life.

"falls apart upon closer examination"
because no one is willing to closely examine is exactly why postmodernism has gained such a foothold in US culture. it sounds good and nice as long as you don't think too hard about it

Each time I hear J.P. my brain smiles in happiness.

[DrumApe]

He's so brutally precise, it's giving me a head spin.

[lawnmower]

If this guy was my grandad i'd hear every lecture. No insult to his age and wisdom, it's simply amazing.

[typhoonofideas]

Who else misses good old times with profound speeches from Jordan and digging old videos to find some juicy pieces of wisdom?

[Textra]

Just when I think I have figured Peterson out, I discover that there's a whole other level to what he is saying.

resentment disguised as compassion...brilliant
