—“Peterson and benzos”–
He didn’t take enough long enough. Some people are at high risk of withdrawal side effects. And the more personal crisis at the time combined with that withdrawal the worse it is. So it’s not the benzos per se but the consequences of withdrawal given…

COMPASSION FOR PETERSON
Just to demonstrate a bit of compassion, when I came down with undiagnosed cancer it had a terrible effect on me and I was given the equivalent little benzo pills Peterson was – they effectively anti-pain pills, even if it’s psychological pain.
I went off the cold turkey when I realized what they were doing to me and it was … extremely unpleasant, same symptoms, and all but unbearable. Though I would assume only twenty percent of what Peterson felt. And I have an unhealthy insensitivity to pain in the first place.
So, I have sympathy. But I also recognize while I have an extreme male brain, he doesn’t. He’s actually on the feminine side of the cognitive spectrum. So I suspect that not only the experience but the consequence has been hard on him.
And he’s going off the rails of rationality – and I don’t really know why he’s incognizant of doing so especially when surrounded by family and friends. I don’t know whether it’s the result of changes due to trauma. Of if the trauma merely expressed his inner sensibilities all along.
Cheers

–“How do you determine when a person has passed the threshold.”–
TLDR; “evidence of demonstrated behavior in linguistic expression in uncontrived circumstances.”
I work in a field that is somewhat difficult to understand if you’re unfamiliar with it, but at the foundations of it, the simple version is that the language one uses, especially in expression of demonstrated preference, in ordinary circumstances, provides insight into the working of one’s mind and brain, if one understands a few concepts that are uncommonly understood: sex differences in cognition, the spectrum of explanation (descriptive grammars), and the spectrum of means of lying (deceptive grammars). In order to solve the problem of testimonial truth (truth proper), I had to ‘science’ language and especially lying, which led to sex differences in cognition – and all differences originate in sex differences.
So in economics we explain the difference between “imagined, reported, and demonstrated behavior”. Demonstrated behavior is empirical, everything else is not, and this is why most social science is nonsense other than behavioral economics.
So if we look at human behavior on the terms I’ve described above and we look at the behavior demonstrated by speech, with a rather trivial number of words we can tell a great deal about you (facebook can profile you within about one hundred likes for example), and if we have as little as a few thousand words, we can determine almost everything about your thought processes, your biases, values, knowledge, class, age, and sex that is relevant in relation to others.
With more experience we can, as any psychologist or psychiatrist can, explain your behavior by reducing it to the primary causes of the variation of your behavior from some standard or other. (And we can probably do better than they can.). They are worried about how to fix you. We are only concerned in explaining you.
So there is an intersection here between linguistics (“Grammars”), computational linguistics (usage), behavioral econ, neuroscience, and genetics that provides us this understanding.

@ScottAdamsSays is on a journey like everyone else. Each of us learns at different a rate due to differences in ability and interest. People who learn from interest and evidence rather than assumptions and others’ opinions are both adaptable and own their decisions. Its a tell of higher intelligence. So he is moving as fast as possible for him. And that is because of his particular moral bias, and presumptions of man. It is a hopeful bias. And one of the reasons for his insights into psychology while retaining humor in the human condition. Is he ready to accept that diversity in markets between polities is a good, but within polities is a form of devolutionary hyperconsumption generating conflict and demand for authority to suppress it? Which is exactly what we’ve seen over and over again? I don’t think he is there yet. And to own that understanding requires he come to it. We can only encourage, not shame him into it.

You know, whenever my significant other gets angry or upset and directs it at me (never happens, right?) I stop, listen carefully, often grin or smile, tell her I love her, and often put my arms around her and lift her off her feet. I keep listening, and then tell her I understand. And usually it works. And when she runs away to try to stop me it works even better.
But WHY does this work? 😉
