"Why do people find Jordan Peterson so convincing?" | A Rebuttal

in #politics7 years ago

Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek recently wrote an article for The Independent titled "Why do people find Jordan Peterson so convincing? Because the left doesn't have its own house in order." Stefan Molyneux breaks down the latest in a long series of mainstream media articles attacking Dr. Jordan Peterson and separates the assertions and insults from the facts and arguments.

I have a theory that these media outposts are just spewing out garbage because Jordan Peterson is a hot topic and articles good or bad get views. The authors of these posts just care about there view count and they can lie to themselves that if they get views it is because of "their viewpoint" and not just the topic itself.

I know the Earth is round because I have watched the Sun progress through the Seasons. I have markers that tell me when the Solstice or Equinox occur. I have on many occasions observed the Space Station traveling from Horizon to Horizon in a Strait Line. It's course does not curve like is shows in the 2D models.
I have been as high as 12,000 feet above sea level on foot. I could see the curve of the Earth. I have been on mountains at night above populated area's and I could see the curve of the Earth.
I have had first hand, face to face, 1:1 conversations with SR-71 Pilots who have told me about their personal experiences. I believe them over you, sorry.
I am all for Freedom of Speech and you can believe what ever foolishness you like. I have no problem with that. But I do have a problem with you going after people who dare to disagree with you. Trying to cause them harm, shutting them down and attempting to limit their Free Speech through downvoting and defamation. I know that Stefan is not the only one you have gone after. You really need to stop your Authoritarian Fascist Bullying of people.
