  Jordan Peterson: valiantly defending the integrity of the intellectual tradition by publicly debating about authors he hasn't read

  The craziest part of the debate is that Peterson starts by admitting he had to Re-read The manifesto for the first time since highschool… which means his career of advocacy against Marxism in the political and academic sphere has been based on a half remembered reading of the communist manifesto from when he was a teen.

  I will never forget how Peterson had to concede to Zizek that he has no idea who Hegel is, says it all about him.

  Jordan Peterson is the epitome of speaking about things you know nothing about and everyone just believing you because you said it with confidence

  My drunk uncle made just as uninformed but much more entertaining rants about communism than JP ever could, and he did it for free.

  Jordan Peterson is a living proof of "act calm and collected, be confident and people gonna believe you"

  Peterson tends to practice "lazy" philosophy, also known as strawman philosophy, in which he privileges himself/his argument by constructing the opposing argument in a way that weakens it from the get go.  This channel is absolutely correct in identifying this sort of pseudo-philosophizing as dangerous.  It is not a tactic that Peterson devised on his own (its been around for a long time), and unfortunately it has become the main form of commuinication in modern politics.  this video definitely earned itself a subscription.  Thanks, team!

  “I have read all of the works of Marx, all of your works, and you.” <br><br>— Zizek — <br><br>Most badass line any philosopher has ever said.

  That feeling when Brian David Gilbert puts more effort into researching and rating the sexiness of Castlevania monsters than Peterson does in an intellectual debate

  &quot;Why is this pamphlet made for unionizing easy to understand?&quot;

  I find it troubling how often critical thinking is being co-opted as a buzzword by conmen, conspiracy theorists, and extremist demagogues these days. They just say it, then make sure not to do it.
