One of the most brilliant public figures today, folks
"Did that happened?"
"What do you mean happened?" :jordan-eboy-peterson:
Jordan "I-hate-post-modernism" Peterson
What a little worm. What the interviewer means by "happened" is very clear, because he frames these doctrines as in opposition with lobster boy's symbolic interpretation. It necessarily means "happened" as in a historical event that took place, literally.
Yeah this is so different than how Peterson normally is. He'd definitely answer differently if the question was like "are trans people literally the gender they claim to be"
“are trans people literally the gender they claim to be”
Peterson: "What do you mean... People "
This is actually the most normal I've ever seen him, which says a lot. He's almost trying to express what he calls post-modernism, like a skepticism of the authority of language and symbols and instead proposing there are idiosyncratic interpretations of God's existence. I thought that's what he was against? Did he hit his head?
If I didn't know who Peterson was I'd think from this interview he's a guy rephrasing Derrida or Foucault in goofy ways
what do you mean "act"?
what do you mean "smart"?
what do you mean "by"?
what do you mean "forcing"?
what do you mean "people"?
what do you mean "to"?
what do you mean "define"?
what do you mean "basic"?
what do you mean "words"?
We can't know what anything means, and the chaos of reality is difficult for people to deal with psychologically, so anyway buy my books about explaining the meaning of things, and you're guaranteed to feel better about yourself and the chaos of the world. At least I'm making bank off you dweebs.
