JORDAN PETERSON, LET ME PLAYFULLY TAUNT YOU A BIT AND ASK A PROFOUNDLY IMPORTANT QUESTION

What is the difference between (a)deflationary truth, (b)pragmatic truth, and the (c) social construction of truth?

I mean. You rely on pragmatic conflationary ‘truth’ and therefore diminish all deflationary truth claims by equating the possible, useful, and good, with the true, right?

I mean. That’s postmodern. That’s not modern, or western for that matter.

Westerners invented deflationary truth.

Our martial epistemology, its deflationary truth, and our intolerance for fictionalism in militia, thang, court, jury, and senate are what separates the west from the rest.

So why do you need to act contrary to our western tradition, and contrary to the single reason for the success of the west, and contrary to the sciences, and contrary to law, by stating a falsehood? That the possible, personally preferable, and reciprocally good equate to ‘true’?

How is that any different from the arbitrary truth of the Postmodernists?

(It’s not).

You are enraptured by the diagnostic utility of literature: literary psychology, literature of analogy, literature of myth (hyperbole), literature of idealism (platonism), and literature of religion (supernaturalism), and from what it appears, literature of the ‘occult’ or ‘spiritual’ (post-rational).

But at what point does literature of myth relying for pedagogy on some spectrum from focus to hyperbole free of externality (falsehood), demarcate from the literature of the ideal, supernatural, and occult, loaded with externality (falsehood)? At what point does the utility of therapy produce externalities more damaging than the cure?

Why, if east and west, who avoided idealism, supernaturalism, and the occult, advanced, and those who embraced abrahamism declined in one way or another (judaism, christianity, islam), is there any ‘good’ in the myths of the iranians, zoroastrians, abrahamists and others that could not constrain themselves to the truth?
