Or any modernist or post-modernist art, really.

    Not only will I not place it in my home, but I will also tell you it is not truth, or, more generously, that the maximum amount of truth it has to say is that the “artist” is a sick creature that comes from a sick and dying society.

    But there are many ways to say that, and reasonable people don’t think they are “art”.

    being a product of a time and place does not absolve “artists” who create degenerate garbage; who demonstrate no particular talent at any particular craft

    I don’t assert that Hopper is degenerate garbage, or is a talentless monster. I don’t even suggest it. The painting looks fine.

  • PETERSON’S FUNCTION IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY Peterson is a clinical psychologist

    PETERSON’S FUNCTION IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY

    Peterson is a clinical psychologist (cognitive behavioral therapist), and his research includes the impact of personality traits on individual and group behavior. His work (authorship) is largely an attempt (knowingly or not) to restore Stoicism. He has (successfully) identified the relationship between jungian categories and literary archetypes and uses those narratives just as the priesthood has, to teach therapeutic concepts by suggestion rather than CBT’s direct exposure. (I am less interested in this technique for therapy but an advocate for its use in teaching (pedagogy) in the first place – since universal prevention eliminate most of the need for therapeutic correction.) So he is providing Stoicism without (a) social separatism, and (b) the ‘woo’ factor. Even if he is providing it (c) for therapeutic and self improvement use, rather than (d) a program for restoring western civilization from the INFANTILIZATION MOVEMENT we call marxism-postmodernism-feminism. There is a worldwide demand for Stoicism because we have almost (finally) restored the level of civilization achieved by the late Empire before the Abrahamic Dark Age. And once we understand institutional restoration required until the age of napoleon, and intellectual restoration until the 2000s, that abrahamic dark age was TWICE as devastating as the first: the Bronze Age Collapse.

    PETERSON VS MARXISTS

    (useful argument)

    The difference between the (accommodating) Librarians (which is where Peterson evolved ) and both right (eugenic hierarchical) and left (dysgenic equalitarian) is that libertarians think in (make rational calculations in) economic logic (incentives) and are economically literate, and behaviorally empirical, and as a consequence, are extremely cognizant of the failures of marxism, socialism, and postmodern thought, as they ripple through societies and polities.

    They are forms of infantilization. He is trying to (and having some success ) restore personal responsibility and reversing infantilization, by restoring stresses of continuous adaptation (learning) so that we all take personal responsibility and mature into adults again.

    Between his self authoring, and programmatic use of suggestion using archetypes (appeal to authority and durability of the lessons of ancient wisdom literature), he is merely one of the leading and most successful actors in the restoration of Stoicism – which is the most SCIENTIFIC of the psychological systems from religion to the marxist-postmodernist-feminist pseudosciences and pseudorationalisms.

    The natural religion of western civilization: Myth, History, Stoicism, Festival. Like everything else we do, the most consistent, correspondent, and coherent with reality that is possible for man. Those who have heroes in their ancestry need not invent worthy gods. They already have them.

    Are you talking about a typical or a stereotypical autist. There’s some difference.Nov 13, 2018, 11:10 PMJennifer DeanAutists are found all over the internet so it’s not like you have to chat them up in person. Autistic people who are on disability, working through vocational rehab or living in group homes are more likely to be leftist, because they fear losing care/benefits. Also autistic people, more than the average population, tend to be homosexual, bisexual, trans, etc.Nov 13, 2018, 11:20 PMDavid Parker…… those are not high functioning autists.

    You found a bunch of severely mentally ill people who were “diagnosed” with autism for various reasons.Nov 13, 2018, 11:32 PMJennifer DeanBear in mind the only autists who can really “afford” to be right wing are those who are reasonably self-sufficient and/or married, or otherwise protected by strong family ties. Otherwise the left serves their interests much more so than the right. Considering r vs. k reproductive strategies, the majority of autists don’t fit into either category. Many are asexual. And it is easier for someone who is not socially well connected to hide anonymously in a herd, than to run with a pack.Nov 13, 2018, 11:37 PMJennifer Dean”High functioning” as a clinical term simply means IQ over 70.

    THE MEANING OF NEO-MARXISM

    I think you’re looking at the differences between leaves rather than the forest. In the end, the criticism is marxism is pseudoscience, postmodernism is sophism, and feminism simply false, and that these three movements, by making false statements and impossible promises are leading people into sadness and our civilization in decline.

    I study the abrahamic > marxist > Postmodern technique of argument (false promises, pilpul (justificationary sophism) and critique (reputation destruction) as the institutionalization of the female anti social personality expression as a persuasive technique. All these are guments use the same technique. They are all false. And they all cause the damage Peterson Claims.

    So the none of the details matter – they are but different decorations on the underlying lie.

    The term Neo Marxism refers to the transition of the means of UNDERMINING (reputation destruction) from the Marxist economic to the postmodern cultural complaint. Egro, yes Abrahamists > Marxists > Postmodernists > Feminist.

    Same technique, same goal, while changing only the critique.

    NO. MORAL LITERATURE IS FOR DIM PEOPLE

    I mean, the general argument that smart people study science, economics, and law and not-very-smart people study moral literature or what we call ‘continental philosophy’, and even-less-smart people study narrative literature, is simply true. There is a reason marx is only taught as fantasy moral literature, and not science, economics or law. It’s because it’s very hard to read any of this when it’s contrary to the evidence, and reducible to nothing more than a revolt against Darwin Menger Spencer and Nietzsche.
