Jordan Peterson retweeted a video featuring one of my favorite thinkers, Roger Scruton.

Nah disagree on all counts. Has made 0 modern contributions to medicine, engineering, general scientific progress, etc. It's almost completely worthless on all levels. Essentially comprised of a bunch of do-nothings who ramble on and on without a modicum of real world application.

Would take the late, great Isaac Newton over 1 billion Petersons. One Einstein over a trillion Jungs and Nietzsches. It isn't even close, to even make the comparison is borderline cringe worthy.

Wait... what??? You don't even know that all areas of study originate from academia...? How could the education system fail you that badly?

I haven't watched the whole thing, but I intend to.

I'll note that the anti-theist community that has gained prominence with the likes of the Four Horsemen does not like that Peterson believes in God.

Degrasse Tyson once noted that it's a disgrace that 7% of the elite scientific community believes in God. Given that Peterson is seen as an intellectual, I believe they are at odds with him. Perhaps this is why Peterson is so reluctant to take a strong stance, but from what I've heard, Peterson is not making epistemic claims, and he doesn't want to betray that by simply saying he believes God exists.

Here is a video from a representative of the anti-theist movement who had a large following before he was banned from YT. His lack of subscribers on this channel doesn't speak to his popularity. I think this acts as a pretty good litmus test. You don't need to watch more than 50 seconds to get the gist (after the young Asian guy).

Atheism-is-Unstoppable just resorts to petty and vulgar name calling. I could not watch the entire video. Disgusting.

I like AIU, but his target audience is clearly young males, which makes him act immature. He should have watched more lectures on the subject before making any response videos.
 
Weinstein and Peterson live on Rogan. The video will likely only work while it's live.

 
I found this book a while back which goes into the theory Peterson is talking about here with disgust sensitivity being part of the behavioural immune system.

Dat moment when you realize pig-headed conservatives are unconsciously trying to protect your society against disease <[analyzed}>
 
Dr. Peterson discusses Islam.

@2:32 "When the founder of your religion spread that religion by the sword and when your religion has been embroiled in a vicious civil war from the day of Mohammad's death... it's very difficult for me to see how that can be reconciled with the claims that Islam is a religion of peace."

What were AIU's convincing arguments against what Dr. Peterson was discussing? All I heard him do was call Dr. Peterson vulgar names in a smug tone.

Joe's best podcasts are the ones when he barely speaks.

That's true with an interviewer though, especially one that likely has 3000+ hours logged of his show. You end up saying the same stories over and over. Joe surprisingly doesn't always do it at this point but if you regularly watch the show, you definitely feel like you know him pretty well in what he will say next.

Did you watch the video I am referring to where AIU watches a video of Dr. Jordan Peterson and resorts to mocking him without properly addressing anything he is saying?

Here is the video (originally posted by @dontsnitch):
