It’s almost like... Jordan Peterson is racist

It’s sad that people just label Peterson as a bad person and don’t listen to some of his deeper thoughts.

His only purpose is to force people to question themselves; whatever their beliefs, he wants people to be doubtful of them and think critically about them before they embrace them completely. He is not a political person; he is an academic.

As part of this process, he criticizes the main theme of postmodernism which is essentially to abandon everything that happened in the past because it was all bad. Yet, Peterson points out that not everything that happened in the past was a result of religious or social constructions that can simply be changed because they are outdated. Rather, some of the things that humanity has discovered about itself may be naturally true and to deny some of the truths that were conceived in the past would be to deny our reality and our humanity (denying reality may or may not be a mental illness). For instance, if in the modern day you tell a woman that, on average, men are physically stronger than women it is completely acceptable for her to deny this fact and call it sexist, whereas this was agreed upon in the past. In the past, it also meant that women could do less, however, this interpretation is changing and rightfully so. The interpretation of the facts is what’s changing, not the fact itself. This is what liberals don’t understand and this is what Peterson is trying to point out to them. Their ideas are just another inevitable interpretation of the facts.
