What he missed, because he's not a biologist, is that a lobster turns red when it has been boiled and is in fact very dead. It was a shining example of someone speaking with expertise in a field they do not have and saying something goofy and embarrassing, and thus became quoteable.

      @An On Through the wonderful math of ratio calculation can you show that there are more non-homeless people you better not to want to hang out with.
      Of course, you have deep insights into the structure of that particular group, but you do just that what is said above. You judge them disconnected from all other people and only inside of their group. Is this valid? All the problems and illnesses you mentioned are not specific to this group of people.
      But the accumulation of "bad behavior" or the drugs?. For example, what do you expect if you open a sales booth with dandruff shampoo. And for blonde people only for one dollar. Which people do you expect to gather there?
      I do not want to belittle your experience or your report. But you cannot speak for everyone. That would also be problematic as homeless people rarely travel the world and collect statistics.
      I think "homeless" is once again such a laziness term, since everything else is inadmissible and should be viewed as individual fates. The solution also needs more than generalizations. Namely money, money, money and social(workers).
      Besides, definition is one of those things. For example, my country simply defined the gypsies as homeless. And since these were also viewed as worthless, they were simply killed.
      That was the Nazis' solution. That can happen very quickly. In 10 years. There are quite some people these days who think that way. And which group is now defined as worthless? Blonde with dandruff?
      Sorry for bringing up that shit from 80 years ago.

      That's almost a citation from one of my favorite shows ("Bloch", it was a German TV show from 90s/00s, not unlike "House MD" but with a psychologist / therapist called Dr. Bloch instead of a medical doctor)
      In one episode Bloch is asked: "you think you're always right, don't you?"

    I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking.
    The real meaning behind it seems to be "you're not listening to me", with a spin put on to make it sound like not being listened to is some kind of an injustice being done to him, rather than a choice anyone else in the world has the agency and ability to make.
    It's manipulative sort of language because the intended effect of all that is to make it seem like making the choice to ignore what this person has to say would put you morally in the wrong. And I wonder if, for some people, that effect would make a person saying phrases like "I'm being silenced" instead of "some people don't want to listen to me" more likely to seem like they're *right* regardless of what they're actually saying.

      "I find the word "silenced" very interesting when it's used by Peterson and people like him, because nobody he accuses has actually got the power to make him stop talking." -- No, but they may have the power to stop people hearing what Peterson has to say. For example, protesters at his talks. Peterson himself has been pretty effective at being heard, but there are plenty of people like him who have been silenced effectively because of their views.

      Some people do not think and just soak in everything they hear from other... Peterson speak in way that sound like he know everything and is never wrong so lot of people just latch on to everything he say whiteout using their brain at all. It is no Petersons fault, it is the people that do not think independently.... I disagree with 70% of what Peterson say, he is right but also sometimes wrong and some people is unable to see that.

    My experience changes almost daily as my vision slips further towards full blindness. Things disappear. Things appear. For brief moments I see things I have never seen before. And will never see again. It’s. Interesting. I am also studying law. My approach to law specifically has been really rewarding as I get a lot of compliments on my ability to approach the same
    Subject from
    Many sides. The couch example is interesting. Had you not said “couch” and merely shown the sides I wonder how many people may have thought love seat or chair before landing on couch. Our experiences are so varied as humans. Alas. You are the first philosopher I have ever followed. So I will continue to learn. Thanks for doing these videos!

      @@OntologicalCatastrophe I, as a dyslexic, found that if I engaged with the text as if I am debating against it I could retain more and have a better understanding. To truly be able to understand a position you have to be able to tear it into little pieces. The funny part is that you eventually realize that every position has its weaknesses and everyone is wrong in some way even the nihilists. That is when you realize the best course of action is to pick and choose what you think is the best and produces the best results and move forward from there.
      I hold very libertarian views because I want people to be able to do their own thing the way they want to do it and I want to be able to my thing the way I want to do it. I like talking about solutions I think are better but recognize in terms of philosophy, ethics, and politics there are very rarely any right answers. I disagree with this channel on pretty much every ethical and philosophical ground yet her view points are valid and her lifestyle choices are her choices. I think they are wrong but I can not demonstrate that they are wrong. So the best way forward in my opinion is we talk, try to understand each other perspectives learn from each other what we can learn and let each other live our lives the way we want. This is why, here in America, I dislike both political parties, they are both trying to control how we live our lives. The Right is filled with people trying to legislate religion to the nation, and the Left is filled with people that demand their way of life be accepted as objectively good, healthy, moral, and right. Makes me want to say things that will get the message flagged.
      TLDR: Debate against everything to gain a deeper understanding of it. Live and let live. The Right and The Left are both messed up morality enforcing tyrants.

Talking to some of my alternative lifestyle friends they love when u call them lady (4 men 2 woman) or bloke (4 woman to men). They have told me that it's not a fetish it's a feeling of being born into the wrong body. Now if u have to deal with that? I can call you whatever u want to be called. Simple as that. The 'right' are muddying the water intentionally. It's a tactic they are using at the moment. It diversionary to the real narrative. That being,"Don't be a prick (or cunt if u prefer) & Golden Rule (funny because most of them proclaim and profess 'I love Jesus')". Well how about following what he actually preached my right wing 'friend'? Hmmm?

  • @Karishma_Unspecified
    @Karishma_Unspecified 9 місяців тому +5

    I've watched this video many times and absolutely love it. I also learnt a lot from it. But I think this time around, something stuck out to me which I will type (I just want it for my reference) - I don't think the desire for objective truth comes from the desire to be right alone. Yes, "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right" is ONE reason... but also, it comes from the fundamental human urge to avoid chaos. The line of reasoning goes "If there's no objective truth, there is no metric to measure anything" [what things person wants to measure says a lot about their value systems]. For me, it is then "how do I even know where I am when there is no frame of reference? I guess it could be framed as the search for a "correct" frame of reference, but ultimately, wonky ruler better than no ruler - i just need a metric. I need things to mean something. There has to be an objective truth.
    I guess my main critique of the statement "questioning objective truth means questioning that I can be right", is that it reads as "these people are afraid to be wrong - very egotistical of them" - and I think it is more desperate than that. I actually appreciate that the self-help section comes next, because that is a lot of the reason why people like Jordan Peterson. I personally don't - but i get the appeal. Not having an objective reality causes me great anxiety.

    • @Kfroguar
      @Kfroguar 5 місяців тому +1

      I think there's also an element of feeling your identity threatened. Our ideologies are often very tied up in our identities, especially when it comes to ideology rooted in religion, ethnicity, nationality, etc. Unless it is approached delicately in a safe setting, it's easy for someone who is already stressed and tired to get angry about what they perceive as a questioning of their core values and identity. Most people already struggle to live up to their own ideals of morality and success, so hearing someone questioning the objectivity of those ideals can be very emotionally difficult.
      That's no excuse for being cruel or engaging in bigotry, of course. And questioning can be incorporated into an ideology-- iirc Judaism has a particularly beautiful tradition of challenging its own beliefs. But I think it's worth understanding why people have these reactions on a human level.

    At the end of part 2 I realized you were describing the personal philosophy I've had since I was at least 13: "(don't just trust what people tell you because) There's always more to the story." Except I extend this to also say, especially in regards to that ridiculous trolley problem, "There's always a 'third option', just sometimes you need to shift your perspective to see it." You can replace 'third option' with any number, or even 'option that leads to the ideal outcome', although you need to be able to visualize what that outcome is and the steps required to get there. In the case of the trolley problem, the ideal outcome is that no one dies; and the steps to get there are: engineering better braking systems, increasing visibility, as well as preventing people from being laid out on the track. As I'm not a rail line engineer, I'm sure "there's more to the story", but for a philosophy I think it works well enough.

      This is the first video for me, so I'm not used to this. But my brain immediately went "Please shut up, I can't hear what she's saying!" ^^

    Probably also because experience, but I've been binging your popular uploads, ranging from current day to 6 years ago and you just seem so much more comfortable, better at storytelling, and idk, maybe because the transition but also just good job on the progress on the content. I love your content

    I'm not ashamed to say I'm more afraid of the Arsonist than I've ever been of a fictional character. I get literal chills when he's on screen

      He's... subtler than Hannibal Lecter. He is, if you will, Lecterer.
      He's not as Lecter as Dr. Ford, though. Doctor Ford's the Lecterest. You hear his theme, you quake. It means your world, your assumptions, the notes you didn't play, it's all going to crash around you.

      One of her tweets implies that an earlier draft referred to a royal dying instead of the "Nation Celebrates Royal Baby," which would have been even worse.
