When hip hop first arrived the general consensus among white people was that it wasn’t music. In a classical music shop, where I bought my first records of artists like Schoenberg and Carter, the owner took that stance. I was around 16 and argued (indisputably I might add) that the music was the expression of art through sound. His retort was my definition was too broad. I often heard, to my amazement, comments like hip hop (or rap) wasn’t music it was “just sounds”. I’m just as dumbfounded by the stupid **** I hear people say today.
Actually, the position that astonishes me far, far more than that is that there may be an afterlife. Through neuroscience we understand that consciousness is completely chemical and we literally watch the brain die and it’s completely indisputable that it doesn’t go anywhere or do anything. Yet people believe you go somewhere. It’s like, “The ****ing corpse is right there!” Still they believe there’s some kind of ethereal self that sneaks off. It’s hard not to be condescending because the first thing that person must do is accept that he’s retarded.

I like Peterson, but I agree with Frownland in that he pontificates about simple things in a completely uselessly complex way. Plus he seems a bit greedy at times. I appreciate his foot in the ground stance on what he believes in, but for a total free speech advocate he pussies out way too much.

Peterson fills this weird mold of intellectual without being a thinker. Or maybe he's too much of a thinker and gets caught up in his own bull**** too much, it's hard to tell the difference between the two because neither are flattering.

Isn’t that a fairly unnatural gesture?
