Jordan Peterson Absolutely Destroys a Lefty

This is an incredible performance by Jordan Peterson. His skill at destroying the lefty television anchor is superb both based on his arguments and his debating style.

 

Order his book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos.

UPDATE

The interviewer is Cathy Newman of London-based Channel 4 News.

  1. The interviewer is high in disagreeableness or, in plain English, is a b***h.

  3. Peterson seems to welcome her disagreeableness as he is that himself.
    In any case she kept him on his toes. A great interview.

  4. If I had taken a shot of water for every time the host interrupted Peterson, I would've drowned halfway through the interview.

  5. Being disagreeable isn't a problem in and of itself. We need disagreeable people. The dishonest reframing, logical fallacies, interruptions of relevant details, and attempts to insert untruths into the record to frame the next question are the problem.

  6. Disagreeable women are a problem from the standpoint that they also benefit from neoteny, which means that while there are mechanisms for limiting a disagreeable man the means of limiting disagreeable women are much less well defined. We're genetically pre-disposed come to the aid of women, even when they're being both disagreeable AND unreasonable. See Peterson and Paglia talking about the problem of crazy women.

  7. Great interview until he brought up the evolution baloney at the end.

  8. That was very enjoyable, but he could have given some more information on the gender pay gap. For example explaining women work less hours than men, take more dangerous jobs, take jobs with more demanding hours and travel, take less time off when children are born, etc. etc. etc. I always like the simple explanation that if all these big companies care about is profit as so many lefties claim (profits before people!) then why don't they just hire all women if they can save on labor costs?
