Real thought and discussion versus their counterfeits
I'm a Jordan Peterson fan although I don't always agree with him. He has won praise from many people I admire such as Bishop Robert Barron, although with reservations, and the guy makes you think.
This video shows the contrast between the short-term rush of scoring rhetorical points and the long-term satisfaction of explaining and understanding of something. One requires quick-wittedness and rewards in the short-term. The other requires patience and rewards in the long-term.
[Warning: Bad Language.]
I have never really liked the style of Milo Yiannopoulos and I think this video illustrates why. Arrogance and dismissiveness... check.
Love 1791L, even support them on Patreon (which more people need to do)
ReplyDeleteI wrote about JBP before and it just baffles me how badly people can't seem to get him. (Now John C Wright? He gets Peterson.)
The older I get, the more my attitude is: "if you think you can do a better job, THEN DO IT." JBP is doing a needed and necessary task right now, and if people want to complain, then they best step up and try to fill the gap. Good exceptions: Bishop Barron - I haven't watched much on him but of what I've seen, I'd say he's earned the right of some critiques.
