Political Correctness Gone Mad?

This is an interview between multiple people, mostly attacking Jordan Peterson simply for being an honest, decent Man. Sad. The title made me think I would learn something from Peterson since his lectures and books are so meaningful. I guess I should have read the title and reviews more carefully. You do learn something from Peterson though. Go ahead, google, youtube, podcasts, search the hell out of the guy. You'll find the truth, if you're willing to look.

This book appears to be a transcription of a debate that took place several months ago. The video is on Jordan's YouTube channel. It's called, "Political correctness: a force for good? A Munk Debate."

Dyson made this “debate” all about race, specifically vilifying white people and their inability to have a valuable opinion. Stephen Fry, someone I respect greatly, made the comment at the end that it was a shame that this debate never actually discussed political correctness, as Dyson made it all about race and Goldberg made it about sexism. This discussion had potential but the side who was supposedly in favor of political correctness ruined it by playing the victim and making it all about race and gender. Extremely disappointing.

All his arguments are either appeal to emotion, to religious authority or painting himself as an oppressed victim.He says NOTHING of substance and likes to use complicated words to make himself sound important. Listening tothis guy is a complete waste of time. Buy Jordan Peterson's book instead everyone should read his 12 rules for life.

Brilliant discourse Excellent debating

I loved the conciseness of the different views expressed

I cannot find any info about this title other than the fact that it is for sale. It appears to be some kind of cash grab capitalizing on the growing popularity of the authors mentioned on the cover, without their actual participation. I'm not sure this is legal.

Not a quality dialogue, and Dyson is a race baiting thesaurus. Peterson wasn't addressed well at all. It was a terrible virtue signalling event. Do not purchase this, if you're that interested simply watch the debate, and see that this purchase is not worth it.

Stephen Fry expressed disappointment that political correctness was not being discussed but the others had brought their soapboxes along and were on them from the off.

Not a real debate. Just people shouting at each other ... I think the people defending Political Correctness are more shouty and vacuous, and so if you don't like Political Correctness, as I don't, you can then feel morally superior to them ... but I would rather read a good argument from the pro-PC side. Assuming, that is, that there is one ... and I know there are better ones than are presented here. Steven Frye, as usual, is a voice of polite rationality, but doesn't quite engage with all of the arguments. Jordan Peterson is ... well, like the late Christopher Hitchens, you either love him or you hate him, but you can find his arguments for free on YouTube. (How wonderful, by the way, it would have been to see a ... debate? ... between Peterson and Hitchens. Too bad no publisher can commission beyond the grave.)

Excellent book. Yes it is a transcript which is available to see for real on Youtube, but so what? I enjoyed reading it. Fascinating, and you may well question, which of the four held the most 'hatred' for their fellow humans. An eye opener in arm chair and professional psychology.

Very interesting to hear this type of thinking from everyone. I myself had to check the dictionary often to try understand the concepts. Its like a different language side by side with normal English for the working man or the working woman point of view. There is a distinct disadvantage of woman versus men as there is Social engineering going on and preferences directed at woman to initiate and be their exclusive advantage, but the man is told nothing about this except to receive the fallout from it with fatal repercussions for the slightest thing. Anyway a very intellectual discussion but I think a practical book especially for men is required. A man has to be on his guard for his own sake because of this one sided view and the world is not as simple as that for the class of working men and working women.

A transcript of the debate between the four people, in a nice small covered book! Great buy and speedy.
