Can’t watch. Love Jordan Peterson. Despise Piers Morgan.
I’ll wait for the comments.
I think it’s “good training” on how to respond to leftists.
It’s my only way to rationalise watching anything from 98% of the MSM
The English accents always remind me of cars that won’t start in winter.
“Love the idea of covid vaccine passports for everywhere: flights, restaurants, clubs, football, gyms, shops etc.
It’s time covid-denying, anti-vaxxer loonies had their bullshit bluff called & bar themselves from going anywhere that responsible citizens go.”
Piers Morgan
Interesting chat.
As Benjamin Franklin so elegantly put it:
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ”
See also Mark Twain:
“No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.”
I can’t take JP’s weepies.
Makes me acutely uncomfortable and embarrassed. Saw the teary pic and passed on viewing the clip.
Too bad you didn’t listen to this interview … wherein Piers (what a stupid name) eschews “gotcha” questions … and Jordan explained that he doesn’t feel comfortable getting emotional on camera as he did … but explains that his health struggles sometimes trigger emotional responses that he can’t control … and that the topic is SO important to him that he literally weeps for what our culture is doing to young men.
I honestly don’t understand the Jordan-haters. I suspect most of them are FAILED psychologists or psychiatrists… like the one who took my son off his meds that caused his downward spiral ending in suicide. I argued to no avail … because my son was an adult … and has complete autonomy (despite his utter financial dependence upon his parents). I suspect those types are jealous and/or vehemently disagree with his beliefs.
Nah, they’re just idiots. On the other hand, nice jacket JP! Make it yourself?
Yes, he definitely shows signs of PTSD after all his ordeals and I can hardly blame him.
Kenji:
Sorry to hear about your son. That is horrific. I know someone whose son died the same way just before he turned 24.
Re “FAILED psychologists or psychiatrists”: many of our public school teachers are practicing psychology without a license. They can tell, based on many minutes of training, just by looking at a child if they are in the body of the wrong gender. Why isn’t the college of psychiatric professionals going after them?
Someone sent me that piers/Peterson clip yesterday and someone else sent me this one with Dr. Richard Lindzen:
So sorry Kenji. I know what it’s like to lose a child – mine is not dead, yet, but she has shuffled me and her father out of her life. And it has been painful beyond imagining. And Piers Morgan is a turd.
Piers is obviously a fan. I didn’t see any “gotchas”.
Peterson sometimes talks like a jazz improvisation, endless variations on ideas. Out of this hour I liked most his practical definition and prescription of prayer, which works whether one is formally religious or not, for those who view their own lives as a never-ending struggle for personal internal improvement.
Wow Kenji! How sad.
My sincere sympathy.
Piers Morgan is a complete and utter dick.
Kenji, my prayers are with you.
I would say this interview shows “Jordan is back”.
Yes, still a bit emotional at times, but all through the interview he was very sharp and to the point.
(And PM did a good job of interviewing him.)
Great interview. Morgan does a good job. As for Peterson? He now knows how Bob Dylan must feel. It’s all a bit too much. But isn’t it all? I think I need a t-shirt with that on it.

Jordan’s a popular guy.
Words fail, Kenji. Very sad to hear of this.
