Thoughts By Jordan Peterson

I do not know where I got these notes from by Peterson but here they are: "1) Free thinking and thought are not possible unless we are free to risk offend someone. 2) Radical leftists are authoritarian ideologues. These activists claim to speak for everyone else in their identity group, but they have not right to speak for their whole community; we speak only for ourselves. 3) Philosophy guiding radials: utterances led to the death of millions of people is built on the axiom that group identity is paramount. 4) Cathy Newman, in that infamous interview, accused Jordan of being provocative, enjoying playing the provocateur, stirring people up. She implied he did it because spreading divisiveness advanced his career. Jordan firmly denied provoking anyone, and by extension, would not see is opposition to poetical correctness and postmodernism as provocative, just honest criticism instead. 5) Biological structures: nature sets the rules of the game and we operate as socially conditioned and expressing our free agency with those limits." My responses to these quips from Peterson: 1) Yes, fee thinking, and free thought are the intellectual tools by which an individuator thinks and expresses himself in the world. He speaks the truth, and if that offends others, that is the price of seeking honest dialogue. We want radically free speech, with just a very few traditional limits on free speech. We cannot reach and enjoy the high civilization of this individuating anarchist supercitizen doing his own thing in his constitutional republic, unless free speech and free thought are not restricted by government. 2) We need to no longer teach high school and college students that their adult goal is to chase after the life of the public, socialist activist seeking to change societal structures in line with woke economics, its green new deal, its vision of utopia under which social and racial justice are perfectly administered and mandated by government. Rather, they mainly are to be a private activist, reforming and proving themselves as individuators. We do not speak for other members of our identity group, whether so speaking was an appointment by other members of the group, or the assignment was self-appointed. We are individualists, so we only speak for ourselves, and we demand and expect that others stand on their own two feet, become independent thinkers, and then to pal for themselves. 3) We no longer can afford mass movements that grew out of ideologies and the utterances of its men of words. A hundred or 150 million people in the 20th century was murdered in the name of idealism. Philosophy we need, but it must be handles by self-actualizing individuate lest it decay into ideology. 4) I think she is wrong and mouthy. Jordan is principled but will say not to bullies and Leftists attack him all the time and he is but defending himself. 5) I mostly agree that our biology is a shaper of our destined limits. We are born women or men biologically. We are half-beast and half-angel. We are good and evil, and loving and hating. We are rational and passionate. Beyond these natural conditions, we can be altered somewhat by social upbringing and by freely chosen acts.
