    "Revolutions come at a cost. Sometimes they're necessary. How do you
    decide when? That's what free speech is for. That's how you negotiate
    that. Should we stick with what we're doing or should we do something

    Free speech is the process by which the negotiation of the future takes

    That's very nice jordan, but it does not take into account the
    influence of influencers or the ambitions of the ambitious. Free
    speech is not really free. Thought is not without biases. The pr
    guys, the perception managers hide in the wings and chuckle as we
    speak.

    So your prescription is by no means a panacea. Are there any
    panaceas? It is marginally possible, but resist the temptation to
    think you have one.

    Are you going to continue? There is no doubt. And you will want to

    It's not necessarily libertarian, whatever you mean by that.

    Free speech is widely recognized as a fundamental human right. It is
    enshrined in Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of
    Human Rights, which protects the freedom to hold opinions and to seek, receive, and impart ideas without government interference.

    speech is not really free. Thought is not without biases. The pr
    guys, the perception managers hide in the wings and chuckle as we

    actually the real problem is that

    a) social media platforms are largely censored and therefor not free speech

    b) paid speech is also not truly free speech. when you pay someone to
    spread speech you are binding them by contract to say speech or else
    suffer the retribution of breaking the contract

    neither of these are problems with actual free speech, but are rather
    problems of a facade of free speech

    if/when people embrace actual free speech more genuinely across all of society, only then may we still it's true power manifest


    So your prescription is by no means a panacea. Are there any
    panaceas? It is marginally possible, but resist the temptation to

    speech is not really free.-a Thought is not without biases.-a The pr

    actually the real problem is that

    a) social media platforms are largely censored and therefor not free speech

    b) paid speech is also not truly free speech. when you pay someone to
    spread speech you are binding them by contract to say speech or else
    suffer the retribution of breaking the contract

    neither of these are problems with actual free speech, but are rather problems of a facade of free speech

    if/when people embrace actual free speech more genuinely across all of society, only then may we still it's true power manifest
    What about the muzzie Koran shut the fuck up? Yesterday, you were

    The real problem is that you don't believe free speech is a human right

    Why are they forgivable? Because those are not issues that must not

    you know his crying was really a turn off,
    <
    More than Dick Nixon, Gerald Ford, H.W. Bush, George Bush, Bill
    Clinton, or Barack Obama?

    but he has said some decent things.. i dont remember though.

    Peterson self-identifies as a classical liberal and traditionalist.

    He argues that the requirement to use rCLmade up wordsrCY as pronouns
    is equivalent to rCLcompelled speech.rCY He has also criticized the
    notion of the patriarchy, identity politics, white privilege, and
    the gender pay gap. As a result, he has been a polarizing figure.

    Polarization caused by those issues can be forgiven. Other things he
    has said are less forgivable, if true.


    any guy who is a major public figure who cries, is a HUGE turn
    off. those guys i dont know other than they were presidents.

    It is a turn off to see evidence that a pres is human?

    i dont have any pronouns in my work signature, because i am a
    normal person.

    they can be human in private, cant they? i dont poop in public.



    Give the guy a break. When this happened, he was under tremendous stress because of his health/depression, and he was triggered. He didnrCOt plan it
    but I think he should have been aware that it could happen and not done the interview.

    speech is not really free.-a Thought is not without biases.-a The pr

    actually the real problem is that

    a) social media platforms are largely censored and therefor not free
    speech

    b) paid speech is also not truly free speech. when you pay someone to
    spread speech you are binding them by contract to say speech or else
    suffer the retribution of breaking the contract

    neither of these are problems with actual free speech, but are rather
    problems of a facade of free speech

    if/when people embrace actual free speech more genuinely across all
    of society, only then may we still it's true power manifest
    What about the muzzie Koran shut the fuck up? Yesterday, you were
    cheering the muzzies. Now, you're advocating for "free speech"? For

    The real problem is that you don't believe free speech is a human right

    i'm not really sure where ur coming up with that

    based on natural law. Otherwise, you have thought-police. Did Orwell
    call it, or what?

    i'm a deontologist and see that we have a moral duty to not only allow
    free speech, but actually listen to it. and we have that duty regardless
    of whether we are in a public or private operation.

    Shut the fuck up because muzzies!

    i view ethics thru the lens of the duty and obligations of moral agents, instead of the "rights" they have

    Messiah complexes tend to backfire.

    I've already got popcorn for our local lad.

    Popcorn for yourself? Nah, julian you might as well go ahead and eat
    it. You aren't that cool.
    .
    So, it's all about Julian - not about Wilson or Nick.

    It kind of looks like Wilson got his free speech hijacked, snipped,
    altered and manipulated into a personal opinion on who is the coolest,
    and a vote sent over to a messiah board. Good work!

    any guy who is a major public figure who cries, is a HUGE turn
    off. those guys i dont know other than they were presidents.

    It is a turn off to see evidence that a pres is human?

    i dont have any pronouns in my work signature, because i am a
    normal person.

    they can be human in private, cant they? i dont poop in public.

    President Obama cried in public on TV. I wonder what triggered him?


    Mysteries. Funny how that happens. I doubt he knew what it was.

    Obama wept openly during a 2016 White House address on gun control while discussing the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where
    20 young children were killed.

    Jojo thinkscrying is turn off, apparently, if he even saw it. YMMV.

    Deliberately spewing out all over is a definite turn off. Showing unplanned
    emotion and tearing up in public is a human and authentic thing that can sometimes happen when you feel deeply about something. And should never be
    put down! On the contrary..

    So he knew why he was crying.

    Jordan Peterson has his detractors, but maybe he has expereinced tragedy
    and loss: He is highly sensitive to stories of personal suffering. In
    several instances, discussions about his own health crises, the passing
    of his family members, or his late father have moved him to tears.

    it's just weird. You'd think others would start crying too. I tear up
    just watching America's Got Talent. YMMV.
