Dr Jordan Peterson - asking the right questions

Posted on 4:32 AM by Unknown
Here's a good find. There's a Canadian professor called Dr Jordan Peterson who appears on a Toronto TV station. Dr Peterson has worked as a Harvard professor and now teaches at the University of Toronto.

What I like about his videos is that he asks the right questions, which is something rare now amongst Western intellectuals. I'll post a few of his videos in coming weeks, but the first one is about the gender neutralisers in Sweden:



After summarising the efforts by Swedish liberals to abolish gender distinctions he responds by asking questions like:
  • What if gender roles...represent ideals to aspire to?
  • What if it's too much to ask each child to be a good girl and a good boy at the same time?
  • What if such virtues cannot initially be developed without specialisation?

They're the kind of questions that deserve to be raised but are not often heard.
