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!

    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.
  • 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
  • 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 passed.....and it did.

    The sheer number of people I meet that buy into postmodernism (often without even knowing it) terrifies me to my core.
  • @jonjudice1155
    I've never loved listening to anyone rant like this man in my life. Pure genius

    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”
  • 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.

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

    If this guy was my grandad i'd hear every lecture. No insult to his age and wisdom, it's simply amazing.
  • @DrumApe
    He's so brutally precise, it's giving me a head spin.

    Every time I hear him speak I learn something new about the puzzle that is life and the human sprit, and I’m 62 years old. He has to be one of the greatest minds of his generation and I love how he studies, quotes and melds together some of the historical great minds in his field. It makes me think when I listen to him, which is a good thing. He quotes Niche often, one of my favorites is “thinking is difficult, therefore most people judge”, how powerful is that!
  • @jaydan3034
    "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

    Incredible intellectual, refreshing to experience and quite the contrast from the predictable, self-proclaimed, “intellectuals” we’ve had to endure for the last few decades. Thank you Dr. Peterson.
