The people who wrote the grievance studies papers wrote really good articles about postmodernism

2018-12-05 15:21:56 UTC  

That it’s little more than sophistry and hollow words?

2018-12-05 15:22:38 UTC  
2018-12-05 15:22:55 UTC  

Yep.

2018-12-05 15:23:18 UTC  

Postmodernism is cancer upon the West and intellectualism as a whole.

2018-12-05 15:23:43 UTC  

How so?

2018-12-05 15:24:12 UTC  

There are objective truths.

2018-12-05 15:24:28 UTC  

Past events show a clear line of cause and effect.

2018-12-05 15:24:41 UTC  

There are natural laws that must be obeyed.

2018-12-05 15:25:06 UTC  

It's the idea proposing objectivity and the concept of truth is a lie

2018-12-05 15:25:23 UTC  

It's so flexible that it's basically bulletproof

2018-12-05 15:25:24 UTC  

Postmodernists deny those facts and embrace a world of pure subjectivity.

2018-12-05 15:26:10 UTC  

For example "There are no natural sex differences, there are only docile bodies"

2018-12-05 15:27:33 UTC  

Objective facts include that the solar system is heliocentric, the Earth is round, murder is wrong, rape is wrong, cannibalism is wrong, eating dogs is wrong, etc.

2018-12-05 15:28:39 UTC  

No amount of cultural relativism or sociology will ever convince me that eating dogs is morally right or civilized.

2018-12-05 15:30:05 UTC  

You can’t change my mind on this.

2018-12-05 15:36:18 UTC  

wait until you are starving

2018-12-05 15:38:34 UTC  

I’d sooner eat my toes and ring fingers than eat my dog.

2018-12-05 15:44:41 UTC  

The amount of obsession both for and against Jordan Peterson is bizarre

2018-12-05 15:44:56 UTC  

I find the against more bizarre than the for

2018-12-05 15:46:07 UTC  

Lol. I was just about to say "He generally explains when he's giving an opinion vs facts. Whats so controversial about giving facts?"

I must have had a stroke

2018-12-05 15:47:00 UTC  

We exist in an era where basic search for meaning and self improvement is downplayed in favour of forming attachment to your flaws

2018-12-05 15:47:22 UTC  

It's basically the only era where Peterson could be as relevant as he is

2018-12-05 15:47:57 UTC  

Yeah right? I mean why on Earth would I have thought "it's not controversial". I live in a time where people are so narcissistic they pretend to be empathetic

2018-12-05 15:48:20 UTC  

By talking about "muh oppression" that they more than likely don't actually experience

2018-12-05 15:48:58 UTC  

I'm no intellectual though.

2018-12-05 15:49:07 UTC  

I'm just some normie

2018-12-05 15:49:30 UTC  

You can tell when people are actually empathetic because they will approach the issues of someone they don't agree with from an outside perspective, even if at the end of the day they don't agree with that process

2018-12-05 15:49:48 UTC  

There's a Saudi in the church for the bush service

2018-12-05 15:50:27 UTC  

Wow. Michelle and Barrak just shake hands with Trump?

2018-12-05 15:50:34 UTC  

Twitter is full of apathy

2018-12-05 15:50:41 UTC  

Oh probably

2018-12-05 15:50:45 UTC  

It’s a funeral.

2018-12-05 15:50:54 UTC  

There's still a level of decorum

2018-12-05 15:51:04 UTC  

Still though. I half expected it to be stupidly partisan even there

2018-12-05 15:51:19 UTC  

I'm just surprised the decorum is there still

2018-12-05 15:51:27 UTC  

That's nice at least

2018-12-05 15:51:31 UTC  

Death is different than politics

2018-12-05 15:51:48 UTC  

Also, I watched the video about Bush’s dog last night, and I’m confused by that one report that didn’t understand that dogs are capable of mourning.

2018-12-05 15:51:52 UTC  

I think Trump hates political decorum, but when it comes to personal issues he'll play by the rules

2018-12-05 15:52:05 UTC  

Cannot believe jimmy Carter is still alive
