When I watched this I actually feared that their minds might explode. I feel like it's almost insulting to crush somebody's worldview like this.

Chop wood, carry water. People have different skills and natural inclinations despite being enlightened.

He always gets away with it, you kidding me?

That would be healthy green. Unhealthy green is when the critique of the excesses themselves become excessive ("we don't need science", "we don't need work" etc.). -

I believe anatomically and physiologically we skew towards starchy foods (amylase enzyme, teeth, digestion), but it's somewhat an ill-formed question as we're omnivores capable of eating most things except cellulose. Health and longevity is however not wholly congruent with structural/evolutionary adaptation. Natural selection mainly cares about producing babies. -
I think you're actually spot on. If I were to make inferences based on my own experience, I think chronic pain or other somatic issues can greatly impede your spiritual progress. Physical health is a crucial part of mental and spiritual health.

Sleep expert talks about one of the benefits of sleep as an "emotional first aid" and uses exactly the same theory as I've done here: memory reconsolidation and stress-reduction. The level of noradrenaline in the brain drops to zero during dreams, which allows you to reexperience and reconsolidate memories from the waking state in a softer emotional context. (the stress-reducing drug I was referring to earlier also works on the adrenergic system; Tom mentions MDMA as well): 10:38 - 17:10 -
Notice how he willingly concedes to a wide-reaching aspect of a Green idea and then critiques the excesses: 4:09 - 6:33:

Causation is a way to describe relationships between things. Just don't forget that reality is not a description of things and you're fine -
Verbatim sounds like that recent hit piece on JP.

That's why I asked

Just curious: do you like Jordan Peterson?

"What is this nazi, bio-essentialist, phrenology-esque rating system?" ?

Sure, giraffe comments aren't my cup of tea either, but I don't think the bitterness is the main thing that turns people off from the videos. It has more to do with how your deepest beliefs are being questioned. The attitude is just the nail in the coffin and something for your ego to project on. People can handle bitter people just fine when they agree with them. Just open Destiny's or Vaush's Twitch chat ?

I wouldn't be so dichotomous. I'm INFP and I have no problem with this. It's more about how fragile your ego is.

If that is all it takes to discourage you, you've come to the wrong place lol That kind of belittlement is nothing in comparison to what is in store for you here.

I don't actually get this critique.

It's not so much about letting go of a specific value as reacting to the excesses of that value. For instance, you can work hard and think rationally as a green person, but you'll also be more aware of the limits of those things (the pros and cons), and it gets recontextualized within a Green frame. -

I'm not even sure if I fully agree with Terence here, but I just like quoting him from time to time : -
Then that is something different than what you were talking about initially. You have to elaborate on why you think that is problematic. "Patriarchy" is not this moralizing term that says something like "all men are evil". It's a pretty dry descriptive term: society is and has always been dominated by men (generally speaking). Why is that a problematic statement?

Let's take the JBP route: how many universities exactly? In what way exactly? Is it a part of the curriculum to apologize for being oppressors? Is it a culture? Is it limited to students or does it include faculty?

@Ry4n *Anecdote of one person* => "it's in the education system now going borderline mainstream". Nope, still fringe.

It's possible to feel a stone as yourself.
