Interview last night on Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson concludes as only Peterson can conclude, "A direct consequence of anti-industrial policies put in place by hypothetically well-meaning deluded pseudo-religious environmental worshipers of the apocalypse."

    The two most basic laws of Nature concerning the continuity of living things are the survival of the individual and survival of the species. According to the Science Museum in Denver, 99% of all species of life that have ever existed on Earth have gone extinct. Homo Sapiens (us) have been here for around one million years. Dinosaurs roamed the Earth for around one hundred fifty million years before the asteroid finished them off.

    Since we are the first species of life on Earth with the intelligence to consciously alter our environment and thanks to the geniuses who have given us radio, television and the Internet, many of the eight or nine billion of us are acutely aware of the consequences of our actions. Note here how many countries are reporting birth rates below the 2.1 replacement rate needed to sustain population size.

    Given that we have not had extensive contact with intelligent species from other Planets or the Milky Way galaxy, it follows that we have no way to determine whether or if the Human race will go extinct. Comparison to other animal species has no value given that we are unique on Earth. In the absence of firm knowledge, emotions and imagination rule the day. Peterson’s comments reflect the anti-reason mentality of the Left.

    If we cannot universally agree to the definition of the problem, we will most certainly not agree on proposed solutions. Non-agreement on solutions are usually settled by violence.

    That's articulate speech. Which used to be the primary goal of Universities. Truth and articulate speech. Not so anymore.

    Now I know the identity of Gaia! Great shorthand term to use for these nihilists too.

    Excellent point by JP: The leftists bow down to the gods of socialism/communism thinking that they are worshipping and saving Gia.

    My take: The sheep are still willingly headed to the slaughterhouse.

    Yes, please do! If the standard of value is life, amoral is quite accurate. If self-sacrifice and humility are considered virtues, as they are in western culture today, that would be the moral code.

    Thanks, and I would put socialism in the broad category of collectivist sociopolitical systems. I think these scams are more closely aligned with fascism, but either way, they share the moral code of altruism.

    9) Socialism
    Great list, m. These things seem to have taken on a life of their own. Do the scum who stared and pushed them into the public unconsciousness realize just how close they're coming to having their own creations turn on them with unbridled vengeance?

    Yes, and the scams regarded as fact just seem to be piling up. 1) Climate Justice 2) Insurrection 3) Modern Monetary Theory 4) Universal Health Care 5) War on Terror 6) Diversity 7) Public Education 8) White Supremacy

    Peterson put all the fakery and psudo-science into a nice, neat package and tied it with a big green bow. More and more, these outlandish ideas and claims are proof of a dangerous mental illness spreading through the country, the world. Rationality and objectivity have gone from our discourses, leaving a vacuum for this insanity to fill. And it's picking up speed .

    The epistemology may be off, but this is really good. Even better, Epstein is getting a lot more attention on Carlson and other Fox broadcasts.
