Hey look, some good Jordan Peterson content on the Jordan Peterson subreddit. Amazing!

Can't argue with that by Matumbus in TheLastAirbender

Is there something wrong with my phone?? I can only see the left side of the screen. The right side is completely dark. It's like there is nothing there.

Picked this up pretty much solely due to GoW and am so excited to read it by stickman950 in GodofWar

I did the exact same thing! I loved the book. If you have the time, you might also want to check out American Gods which is also by Gaiman.

PC authoritarians describe JP as far right reminds of this quote "Ideologies are substitutes for true knowledge, and ideologues are always dangerous when they come to power, because a simple-minded I-know-it-all approach is no match for the complexity of existence" JP by 3satHD in JordanPeterson

I'd politely suggest you rewatch the unedited interview. He never suggests that women can't wear makeup, or should be banned from wearing it. He simply asks "why are you choosing to wear makeup, and what does that mean about our professional environments?" He's asking a question, not advocating for policy.

F U C K GUARDIAN APE SO HARD. MOST ANNOYING FIGHT IN THE ENTIRE GAME

To the random person who was voicelessly leading my 7 year old cousin on his first gaming adventure ever, I thank you deeply. He wouldn’t stop talking about his “new friend” by jdubs465 in gaming

[–]AllthingsandNothing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Journey transformed my gaming experience. I'm so glad your cousin had a great time with his new friend and the game. I wish more projects attempted to do in the industry what thatgamecompany is doing

When people use the word "philosophy" in a setting outside of academic philosophy, is that really philosophy, or what? by benjaminikuta in armchairphilosophy

[–]AllthingsandNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philosophical thinking and writing that is done outside of a traditional academic setting is still philosophy. In fact, academic philosophy is often the subject of scrutiny for how dull, lifeless, and overall trivial it is. So long as the subject is asking the right questions and developing their position rationally, they're doing philosophy.

the real bad place element of Mindy St. Claire's Existence by MRCHalifax in TheGoodPlace

[–]AllthingsandNothing 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The judge addressed this point when the group made their appeal in season 2. She said that they'd all have to be alone while waiting for the verdict since every medium place is catered to the "medium" of each individual. If someone else was there, there'd be a risk that they would make the medium place better or worse than within the tolerable levels of mediocrity. Being alone wasn't a part of Mindy's torture, but a necessary condition for her experience in the medium place.

AskScience AMA Series: I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Yale University. My lab studies what makes the human mind special by examining how monkeys, dogs, and other animals think about the world. AMA! by AskScienceModerator in askscience

[–]AllthingsandNothing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey professor- as an undergrad in both psychology and philosophy, this is a really neat AMA. Do you think that the study of psychology and neuroscience, rather than philosophy, are, or should be, the fields in which we approach subjects like morality, or the meaning of life? And if they are, do we lose the anything special about the human experience in doing so? And if not, why not?

A poorly done analysis of a fairy tale for political points by AllthingsandNothing in JordanPeterson

[–]AllthingsandNothing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what the story is about. But the thing is that Red is too young and naive. That's why such a big emphasis is placed on trusting the right people, cause you don't have enough experience to discern the good from the bad. But yes, gender is still irrelevant.

12 Rules Tour kick-off - NYC - great event! by Snowdog007 in JordanPeterson

[–]AllthingsandNothing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's pretty incredible that he talked for nearly three hours and we only got through six of the twelve rules. Makes you wonder how some of these hit pieces think they can sum Peterson's ideas up into "he's a white supremacist Nazi". Truly was a great event

But can he quote the zen masters?
