Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Dr. Peterson discusses his psychology course


...and other topics, but I found the part about his course most interesting. It's easy to see why he is such a popular teacher, but the course does not seem particularly academic. It's more of an inspirational sort of program about how to grow up, face life with strength, and things like that. 


Peterson has an interesting and unusual life history for an academic. Myths appeal to him. I think he is a capital C Christian.


It's easy for me to see how it could be helpful to young people. He is a natural teacher or preacher. He is smart as a whip and a fearsome debater.

Wish you had pointed to where the interesting stuff begins. First five minutes very dull...and host is very much talking about himself and his own show...maybe I'll check it out later when I have more time.

I listened to this on a rainy day a couple of weeks ago. It is long and takes awhile to get going. Really remarkable because the black guy is no one I have ever heard of and Professor Peterson treats him with the respect he treats Mark Steyn.

He treats him as an intelligent person, fully capable of understanding him. (Lefties won't do that.)

Peterson has posted dozens of his lectures on You Tube for the benefit of his students and the general public. You can support this effort through Patreon. His lectures are useful in that they teach self-examination leading to independence, which all creative and innovative people need in order to thrive.
