Barton

I actually have read a lot of books on human behaviour as it happens. The thing about our manager is that everything he says or does  is judged on social media by people like you and I. I cant imagine how difficult that is to deal with as it means analysing everything you say or do to ensure that it cannot be misinterpreted by those who wish to stick the knife in . The alternative is to say nothing - which he cannot really do in view of the nature of his work  - or just get on with life in the hope that people who matter to him will accept him for what he is. its not about living a chamelon type life , its about the way that his actions are interpreted and edited in the media that we read. You only have to analyse recent happenings  to see how true that is 

Quite the opposite KP. JP actually hasn’t commented much on Tate but what he has commented on isn’t particularly favourable.

Personally I quite like listening to Peterson. Fact based and intelligent debate which is hard to argue against. His famous interview with Cathy Dennis as an example of that.

But, he can chose what he writes and yet he chooses to write tweets that he , very well knows, will be of a controversial nature. Work that one out 

That makes form a very decent read, thank you

This is the biggest nonsense article I’ve read in a long time! Written from a fixed mindset mentality of left versus right in his own black and white ideology. Bias to the point of recommending people subscribe themselves and any right leaning friends to this very publication. I can’t take a word of it seriously! As a left leaning person myself, it’s this sort of approach and mindset that keeps the left fractured and often a laughing stock! Good grief!

But the point being, that is exactly the standpoint of people like Peterson. Unless you can show otherwise...can you?

"One thing I do like about Peterson is he isn’t chauvinistic in approach and can listen as well as talk."

Really

"For rightwing commentator Melanie Phillips, he is “a kind of secular prophet … in an era of lobotomised conformism”. He is also adored by figures on the so-called alt-light (basically the “alt-right” without the sieg heils and the white ethnostate), including Mike Cernovich, Gavin McInnes and Paul Joseph Watson."

And

"Last November, fellow University of Toronto professor Ira Wells called him “the professor of piffle” – a YouTube star rather than a credible intellectual. Tabatha Southey, a columnist for the Canadian magazine Macleans, designated him “the stupid man’s smart person”.

And

"Peterson’s secret sauce is to provide an academic veneer to a lot of old-school rightwing cant, including the notion that most academia is corrupt and evil, and banal self-help patter,” says Southey. “He’s very much a cult thing, in every regard. I think he’s a goof, which does not mean he’s not dangerous.”

More

"The idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.” Islamophobia is “a word created by fascists and used by cowards to manipulate morons”. White privilege is “a Marxist lie”. Believing that gender identity is subjective is “as bad as claiming that the world is flat”. Unsurprisingly, he was an early supporter of James Damore, the engineer fired by Google for his memo Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber."

Finally

"Peterson’s constellation of beliefs attracts a heterogeneous audience that includes Christian conservatives, atheist libertarians, centrist pundits and neo-Nazis. This staunch anti-authoritarian also has a striking habit of demonising the left while downplaying dangers from the right. After the 2016 US election, Peterson described Trump as a “liberal” and a “moderate”, no more of a demagogue than Reagan. In as much as Trump voters are intolerant, Peterson claims, it is the left’s fault for sacrificing the working class on the altar of identity politics"

From that one can sort of understand why a personality like Barton might be attracted to Peterson.

All of those quotes were from papers and interviews of 5 years ago.

I rarely post on here anymore as I simply don’t have time to reply but I don’t understand what you mean. What is the stand point of Peterson?

I see your true colours (excuse the lazy pun) are on display Gastafari
