Because he's an eccentric who's pretty bad at communicating his more cerebral ideas.
He understands literal truth to exist, but simple "truth" is always defaulted to figurative truth or Darwinian truth.
Honestly it's probably his worst trait
I've noticed the same with Hoffstadter, and maybe Plato? They communicate by way of circumnavigation, I think out of an expectation that their audience won't or can't 'get' their point straight out.
how do you determine the truth of harder problems?
how should someone live?
the problem with your definition of truth is it does not work for all persons
Who's definition? Peterson's?
whiic's
Peterson admits his ideas only work in a Judeo-Christian framework
yes as are most western persons
I don't think "how should someone live" have a truth to it.
well is there a wrong way to live?
There are better and worse argumented opinions on it.
I disagree, I think there's an objectivity to the way people should be
But I don't think "how to live" has a truth statement to it like 1+1=2 or e=mc^2
I mean, people who live in the Western way are objectively doing better than Somalians
Objectively?
I think Somalians disagree.
Hence it's subjective.
then why do they all want to come here
Maybe they come to spread their superior life style?
I do not think somalians are happy, or prosperous
Even in their ignorance
You don't have to be happy and prosperous to think you live proper lives according to God.
again there are some people (in somalia) that believe US (western) is better some who think western is worse
I think something is very rotten in the hearts of somalians, which is why theyhave a deep propensity towards violent nihilism
West is decadent land of shaytan.
you are treating people as monoliths
Some Mudslime might argue for examel.
Most Muslims prefer Saudi Arabia over USA.
How is USA **objectively** better than Saudi Arabia?
larger
Objectively includes also Islamic perspective.
you are robbing people of their agency.
the right way of living ones "life" is different for each person
Is larger objectively better?
Judeo-Christian teachings try to set people on a path of prosperity and inner happiness, divorced from physical materialism and with a strong moral compass (read: anti-nihilism). Which is why the Petersonian idea of reality works in Judeo-Christian cultures.
Larger is objectively larger
That which 'is real' *must* 'benefit you'
To reduce it
Greater country by mass
@Hexidecimark Well, I asked "How is USA objectively better than Saudi Arabia?", not about largeness.
