THE BIG QUESTION FOR PETERSON, THAT HARRIS COULDN”T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ASK
—“Peterson manages to inspire me without coming across as foolishly optimistic or unrealistic in expectation. That’s really quite an accomplishment.”—
(That is because you already agree with him. – Who *doesn’t* agree with him? Why? I read all the same research that he does. I just read very different LITERATURE from that which he does. )
RESOLVING HARRIS’ QUESTION
I want to resolve the same question Harris does, but I am capable of asking in more articulately than Harris.
THE QUESTION FOR JORDAN PETERSON
“Jordan, given the portfolio of Myth, Literature, History, and Science and Tort Law (record of existential disputes), why does one have to preserve political conflation (combining myth, law, history), choice conflation (the useful, the preferable, the good, and the true) and fictionalism (idealism, supernaturalism, occultism)?
In other words WHY DO YOU NEED TO PRESERVE LYING when it is by conflation and fictionalism that the west was destroyed in the ancient world; medieval man was trapped in illiteracy and superstition for a dark age – ended by literacy and restoration of our ancient thought; four great civilizations have been destroyed by islam and descended into ignorance; jews were unable to build a territory and institutions, and despite being literate contributed nothing good to human history, and in the modern era, kant, the french and the cosmopolitans, the marxists and the postmodernists have done nothing but attempt to produce a series of counter-enlightenments preventing the completion of the ‘restoration’ (enlightenment) by its extension to the social, political, and juridical sciences?
Why do we need to circumvent reason, and rely upon lying, when the secret by which the west in the black sea, aegean, Mediterranean, north-baltic sea (hansa), atlantic, and seven-seas eras, dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, disease, and tyranny by the use of Martial Epistemology (Truth), Sovereignty, Heroism, and Markets?
Why isn’t the battle between good and evil, that between the use of truth in pagan aristocracy and the use of lies in monotheistic underclass socialism?
Isn’t the battle that we have had for 6000 years, between (a) the revolutionary invention of truth, paternalism, sovereignty, markets, and transcendence of the limits of mind and body, and (b) the counter-revolution against it and the preservation of the primitive? Isn’t the enlightenment and the ongoing counter-enlightemnent just a continuation of the cycle between truth and deceit?
How is history reducible to anything other than two rare peoples, each at opposite ends of the eurasian continent, (europe and china) inventing reason, and everyone between them retaliating against them in a series of cycles and counter-cycles?
How is it even conscionable to perpetuate that which was invented and has served as the primary means by which civilization has been reversed, regressed?
I mean. How is it in any way morally conscionable to advocate the preservation of the greatest cause of murder, suffering, destruction, poverty, ignorance, and dysgenia, – even greater than the black plague – when there is no demonstrable need to do so other than to appeal to the baser elements of man?
What is the difference between marketing the dream state by saturation in endorphins by hacking man’s submission-to-the-pack instinct, and saturating those endorphins by the use of opium?
What is the difference between the British sale of opium to the chinese, and the state, academy, and church’s sale of the opium of endorphins to the west?
Why aren’t constantine and justinian, the middle eastern purveyors of the same thing to the west that the British were to the east?
What moral justification can you give for what appears to be nothing more than one of the greatest crimes, if not THE greatest crimes, in history: the invention of zoroastrianism-abrahamism? The use of conflation to overload reason as a counter-revolution AGAINST truth and reason?
THERE ISN’T ANY MORAL JUSTIFICATION FOR IT, IS THERE?
