I think the people who think Zizek 'owned' Peterson really tuned in just to see him get owned. I enjoyed the debate and saw validity on both sides.

And yeah I will publicly say I support a clinical psychologist who has helped people of all races, both men and women, live better lives, then moved on to creating a huge mass following by being one of the precious few people who have the balls to stand up to the negative aspects of today's PC movement, yeah I support that 'piece of poo poo' a hell of a lot more than any 'paragon of virtue keyboard warrior' forums user.

I like Peterson. Seems like a genuinely nice guy and aside from religious stuff a lot of what he says resonates with me.

I'd hope that at least those who disagree with him would stop short of wishing more suffering on him, but I'm not that naive.

What validity was on Jordon's side? He failed to answer the easiest softball question (name a post-modern neo-marxist) and then ceded the rest of his time to listen to an impromptu lecture of marxist theory 101. He made no points.

One of the things they talked about on the recent Behind the Bastards on Jorp is that when he first taught at UoT his classes were packed and most of the students loved him and his lectures. But here's the thing: they were always this disjointed soup of in the style of his lobster bullshit. In essence: he was loved by children for telling fun stories that made no sense. And faculty bought into this.

Basically, I'm saying it was morons beguiled by an effete kermit all the way down.

Basically JorPeepee believes that in groups of lobsters those that are born bigger and stronger naturally are able to claim the most resources, food and mates, and this allows them to further grow and dominate over other lobsters which creates a sort of natural hierarchy. The largest at the top with those progressively smaller getting proportionally less. This is proof that all hierarchies, rich above poor, man above woman, white man over black man, is the natural order of things and that trying to disrupt this order by means of socialism, feminism, civil rights, go against the very order of existence and only lead to chaos and destruction of all things (but specifically white men in western civilization).



It should come as no surprise that lobsters do not work that way, and Jorp based his entire philosophy on things he doesn't understand and just made up.

he compared social constructs to lobster behavior like some kid smashing his GI Joes into his Transformers for a sweet crossover that only exists in his mind.

quote:

Lobsters and hierarchy
”Peterson is at his murkiest when he is talking about nature. Half the time he seems to be committing the naturalistic fallacy: he'll describe tendencies that exist, and imply that these things are therefore good. So he'll talk about dominance hierarchies among lobsters, and exhort young men to "Look for your inspiration to the victorious lobster." Of course, the animal kingdom is also a place of mutual aidWikipedia, and for a man to emulate a lobster is like a woman treating the existence of the praying mantis as a license to eat her husband.
—Current Affairs[2]

On January 2018, during an interview with British journalist Cathy Newman to promote his self-help book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Peterson argued that hierarchies are not a social construct, but biological to some extent. To prove his point, Peterson infamously compared the tendency for humans to form social hierarchies to that of lobsters which occasionally display hierarchical behavior. [177][178][179] Unsurprisingly, actual marine biologists called bullshit on Peterson, "No biologist would argue with Peterson that dominance hierarchies have probably existed for a long time, but it's also true that plenty of animals live together without the need to assert dominance over one another." [180]
