5 minutes of talking and all he really says is there are extremes on both sides. Oh wow, man that's insightful.

Either you’re really not a smart person, or you didn’t listen to what was said.

He drew the line to say we have to be able to use words so that we can talk about the issues themselves. If we ban words from being said then we're not going to make progress on the issues.

Of course it's not super deep, but we don't really have been with for those types of conversations of people are screaming at each other. It's clarity and geometry of the playing field for building rules for coexistence.

The reason that's needed is that people are trying to change the moral sphere.  People who are used to the old ways should be given a chance to understand the change IMO

Ultimately they will lose out to what the majority wants, but it's better for social cohesion to try to unify even if the effort is doomed.

It hinges on a strawman that there are those who are trying to ban words when the opposite is occurring; the debate is around expanding the definitions of certain terms.

He says that - 'language changes all the time' - in his defense of NOT changing the definition or at least having a definition that matches the old meaning.

I've watched this three or four times now and TBH it's not all that clear what his point is beyond "we should be able to use the words men and women" and, like, ok? That's it? Also, who are the Taliban-defending leftists or the people who think they shouldn't put boy or girl on birth certificates or are destroying people's lives for using the term "woman?"

I don't think this is a great clip, but it's pretty funny how much stronger a communicator he is than Peterson.

Like I say - I disagree with him on major items but his game is good enough.  I have no respect for Peterson outside of self-help, which I don't need from him anyway.
