The Queen’s University Talk: The Rising Tide of Compelled Speech

Jordan Peterson’s lecture from last week (in spite of barbarians at the gate)

“In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion- and even nation-centred cultures, partly to decrease the danger of group conflict. But we are increasingly falling prey to the desperation of meaninglessness, and that is no improvement at all.” - Jordan Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

Identity Politics & The Marxist Lie of White Privilege - Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, speaking at Sovereign Nations Conference “against destructive philosophies of open borders and manipulation by George Soros”.

Peterson at end of video: Conservatives are better able to separate from those associated with them (saying no to nazis and white supremacists). Classical liberals need to do the same thing but they’re not very good at it.

Liberal primer: how to identify the people from whom they should be rapidly dissociated and this is the terminology: EQUALITY, DIVERSITY, INCLUSIVITY, EQUITY, (equality of outcome) and in that term equality of outcome is nested all the horrors of Marxism

If you try to be good, you might be good and, sometimes, happy. If you strive to be happy, you are unlikely to be good and you will rarely be happy, either. - JBP

“Life is suffering. Love is the desire to see unnecessary suffering ameliorated. And the truth is the handmaiden of love, and the dialogue is the pathway to truth. And humility is recognition of personal insufficiency, and the willingness to learn. And to learn is to die voluntarily and be born again, in great ways and small.”

Jordan Peterson - ‏ 12 Rules for Life 

Stand up straight with your shoulders back

Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping

Make friends with people who want the best for you

Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today

Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them

Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world

Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient)

Tell the truth – or, at least, don’t lie

Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don’t

Be precise in your speech

Do not bother children when they are skateboarding

Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street

“The more responsibility you take on, the more meaning your life has.”

— Jordan Peterson

“You know how you feel when you hide? You know, you feel like a pathetic scared rabbit - and that’s what y'are! So, you’ve gotta be more than a pathetic scared rabbit, and you do that by facing the chaos that exists in your own life and turning it into order.”

— Jordan Peterson

“Face the demands of life voluntarily. Respond to a challenge, instead of bracing for catastrophe.”

— Jordan Peterson

“The risks that accrue to you for speaking the truth are so much more minimal than the risks that accrue to you from deceiving yourself and other people that they’re not even in the same universe…speak the truth!”

— Jordan Peterson

“The antidote to suffering is meaning…if meaning is pursued properly, then people do not get corrupted by their suffering, and that actually diminishes the net total of suffering.”

— Jordan Peterson
