almost nobody can properly answer what is a woman,

That's because there's no such thing.

"A woman" is just a simplifying assumption humans make as they go about survival. When questioned it breaks down.

It's like asking, What is matter?

Yes. And people want to come with a definitive answer. Or the post-modernists say it is a social construct and then, that does not help us understand what exactly is that thing that we point to when we hear "woman". In the same way as there is no such thing as "a knife" but we know the characteristics of it, and that improves our survival.

I intuitively know what a woman is. I feel like you don't need to be a genius to know what it is, and Greek Skepticism comes into play with common sense. But, I admit as we explore it very deeply through philosophy and ontology It's hard to define what a woman is. But, I know a women when my see one by using my penis (natural intuition). I know a woman through being a man. But, I also know that everyone is undefinable and a mystery. Yet, it's knowable at the same time.

I know my mother is a woman, or my girlfriend is. I know a human vs a dog. 

I can know what something is, but not know what it is.

Yes, this is why it is so amazing, because it is simple. When people don't know how to answer Leo's complicated questions like: "why is there something rather than nothing?" These questions require some damn wisdom and enlightenment experiences, so it is understandable.

So basically, I think, we can say that development is our ability to consciously tap into the natural fuzziness of our thinking (which is close to, or even practically infinite given the complexity of our neural network) and align with it while needing less and less to reduce it into firmer and simpler versions.

Meta rationality and infinite perspective IS fundamental in proper governance. Truth IS fundamental to proper governance. 
 

I have a perspective that is so powerful, it may take me years to implement, grow, flesh out, etc.

Something I’ve noticed is that to understand Jordan Peterson speaking to these individuals is very complex, requires deep levels of consciousness, epistemology, patience, capacity for recontextualization, empathy, and not assuming to understand Jordan Peterson. We have to put the whole conversation IN the context of human survival, development, history, brain types, etc. it’s a very complex situation which I think is useful to watch these videos if you want to grow yourself. 
 

He has a rock solid sense of the brutality and seriousness of these ideas which the people he speaks to do not. He is battling egos, assumptions, limited perspectives, youth, logic, etc

 

He sees religion in the context of actual human existence and survival which I think is important. Someone like Rationality Rules actually isn’t a serious person and therefore his philosophy is shit. It’s shit because he doesn’t see how stupid he is, how foolishness his framing toward these topics is, and he is corrupt because he has no foundation that Truth is the highest value…. or the seriousness of proper epistemology and its consequences on survival. 
 

His use of rational tools, does not make up for his stupidity.

They don't understand that rationality has no foundation, it is just an invention of the human mind.
