RE: Jordan Peterson and Cathy Newman Debate: An Analysis

in #politics7 years ago (edited)

The Channel 4 interview was a fascinating glimpse into the clash between leftist "feelings" and objective "facts".

Each "Gotcha!" question was very calmly answered by Dr. Peterson, who had the grace not to gloat (I know: not his style) as he scored victory after victory. Even his laughter came across as graceful, at least to my ears.

Kudos to Channel 4 for their decision to let this debate be placed online.

What I find especially encouraging (and even surprising) is that Dr. Peterson managed to convince Cathy Newman to admit that her approach was aggressive and that maybe, just maybe, her ideas were mistaken (although she didn't say it in so many words).

Stefan is right to hope that his daughter will not have to grow up bathed in fake (in the sense that they only pretend to care about women) feminist rhetoric.

I hope we can see more such discussions.
