Whether or not I like a piece of data has very little bearing on whether or not I am likely to accept it.Jordan Peterson
Our physiological constitution is obviously a product of Darwinian processes, insofar as you buy the evolutional theory as a generative, as an account of the mechanism that generated us. Our physiology evolved, our behaviors evolved, and our accounts of those behaviors, both successful and unsuccessful, evolved.Jordan Peterson
The people who hold that our culture is an oppressive patriarchy, they don't want to admit that the current hierarchy might be predicated on competence.Jordan Peterson
It's in the best interest of the radical left types - best psychological and strategic interest - to refuse to admit to the possibility that reasonable people can object to their ideological staff. Because if reasonable people objected, that would imply that their ideological stance is not reasonable.Jordan Peterson
You can't have a value structure without a hierarchy. They're the same thing because a value structure means one thing takes precedence over another.Jordan Peterson
To me, ideology is corrupt; it's a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you're an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you're religious, there's a mystery left there.Jordan Peterson
I've studied authoritarianism for a very long time - for 40 years - and they're started by people's attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory.Jordan Peterson
The connection between psychology, mythology, and literature is as important as the connection between psychology and biology and the hard sciences.Jordan Peterson
