Funny Jordan Peterson Epistemology and Ontology

16 posts in this topic

By his own logic we don't know if Jordan Peterson is a man or a woman or a chipmunk.

It's amazing how sloppily JP does his existential deconstructions -- only in directions which suit his conservative worldview.

If we don't know what "climate" is, then how the hell do we know what a man is?

What's hilarious is that JP's argument in the above clip is precisely Post-Modernism. But he applies Post-Modernism with such gross double-standards, only when it suits him.

No pre-modern nor modern religious intellectual would argue -- when asked if he believes in God -- that he cannot answer the question because we don't know what "you" is, what "belief" is, what "God" is, and what "is" is.

The line of logic laid out by JP in the above clip is exactly how Derrida would answer a question. Post-Modernism is about deconstructing the question and the questioner until you can't even do philosophy any more.

Which is just of course his own confusion projected out at the world.

(talking about the "belief" thing)

if you follow John Vervarkes work, it's easy to see JBP is pointing to participatory/perspectival/procedural knowing, he just doesn't has the word for the concepts and so appears like he's trying to deconstruct the words in a circle. but from my POV he just doesn't have the tools to articulate in a linear way what he means

it's more a matter of semantics than of post modern deconstruction: there's something beyond his word play

but I still see how he applies double standards in a lot of other aspects

Of course!

It's God :D

All philosophy is just wordplay to avoid a direct confrontation with God.

Yep just a dance around the void, avoidance. I really would love for Jordan Peterson to take 5 MEO with Mike Tyson LOL.


The same strength, the same level of desire it takes to change your life, is the same strength, the same level of desire it takes to end your life. Notice you are headed towards one or the other. - Razard86

Your ACTIONS REVEAL how you REALLY FEEL. Want TRUTH? Observe and ADMIT, do the OPPOSITE of what you usually do which is observe and DENY. - Razard86

Think about it.....Leo gave the best definition of the truth I ever heard...."The truth is what is..." so if that is the truth.... YOUR ACTIONS IN THE PRESENT ARE THE TRUTH!! It's what's happening....do you like what you see? Can you accept it? You are just a SENTIENT MIRROR, OBSERVING ITS REFLECTION..... can you accept what appears? -Razard86

@Leo Gura that's why i think peterson is cognitively at integral even though he has a lot of regressive elements. he's really a unique teacher, combining religion and science and postmodernism, etc... he is like a low quality version of leo gura

He's definitely a unique case of spiritual neurosis :D

The best thing I can say about JP is that he's a high quality conservative :D

I appreciate intelligent conservatives more and more these days. It's like finding 4-leaf clovers :D

@Leo Gura would you consider him to be wise ? personally i would say that relative to a daniel schmachtenberger or a ken wilber, he is not. but he certainly is wise relative to a regular conservative who's at stage blue/orange. but overall according to my standard (which is fairly high) i would say no. 

what do you think ?

He's wise, but certainly not at the level of a Schmach or Wilber.

What you're really talking about is Consciousness and Intelligence, which has so many degrees that it makes even the smartest humans look like chimpanzees trying to operate a rocket ship. That's basically what you get from JP when you ask him to talk about God. He simply doesn't have enough intelligence to understand it. But then again, neither does Wilber.
