He very much follows in the footsteps of his Guru Carl Jung in this regard. I refer the curious to the latter's book on Job. Why do clinical psychologists assume they not only can weigh in on philosophical and religious matters but that they have a special authority to do so? <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOBcnTeuwMI<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jESaNmj6SLI<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU1LhcEh8Ms&t=535sVonUexkuellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151964059097796194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-13439233139985079932018-06-15T00:05:24.806-04:002018-06-15T00:05:24.806-04:00As a person who has been completely taken from Pet...As a person who has been completely taken from Peterson and been a huge fan of Chomsky and Hedges, went to Occupy behind the inspirational talk of Hedges, and saw identity politics and how it had destroyed the left...I watched a upper middle class masculine dressed white feminist silence an (albeit obnoxiously drunk) man from Nicaragua try to share his story about his family being wiped out by the contras while he was told to sit down and check his male privilege because it was turn for a female queer perspective to have voice. I saw in this moment this unemployed bridge repair man how the left had completely failed...a rich woman silencing a dark man who watched two of his coworkers die that week... and this is what the left stands for now...Orwell said it well in road to wiggen pier...Hedges, please debate Peterson, he is temperamentally on the left and needs support from other old leftist voices when the left had not replaced genuine concern for the poor with a demagoguery system which allows rich white women to ignore, mock, and supplant the suffering of the poor through a oppression Olympics...This is a year and a half old...Reach out to Peterson, it would be good for you, for him and the world. He is a smart guy, and you know it...You'll lose some on the tribal leftist authoritarians, but no one on the left is willing to talk to and engage with such ideas. Nuance IS NEEDED as this article says, but the lack of nuance comes from a rigid orthodoxy of ideas being put out there by a radical identitarian leftist hate group which refuses to converse with anyone who asks forbidden questions of their core doctrine.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5939915290794973654.post-38249633715755261962017-07-07T17:03:48.816-04:002017-07-07T17:03:48.816-04:00Thank you!!!

I,also was looking forward to his current lecture series on The Psychological Significance of the Old Testament. Then I started hearing him on all these "conservative" talk shows. Before that I was almost ready to raise him to my "Men I Love" pedal stool, with the likes of Chris Hedges, Cornel West, Noam Compsky (sp?) and Brother Ali ( a rap ARTIST) Now I'm not even sure anythIng he says is trust worthy, or if he has any real courage....a must for a man in my book. I just can't seem to evict him from my head. I always knew his views on Marx, but I could live with that to a certain extent, kinda like I do with mother Theresa beliefs on brith control. He crossed the line for me when he made a totally specious analogy between "white privilege" and Stalins murder of the Kulacks. He used class based guilt as the point of comparison. When I heard that I thought " Oh my, who have I been listening to?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
