What does everyone in the modern world need to know?

Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.


Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?

Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life. 12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

Quote from examante :
Every psychologists least favorite psychologist. Any time he ventures outside of basic psychology his far right ideology becomes clear. As a public intellectual he's rather ignorant and dismissive of anyone with who he disagrees. What's worse is he claims to be classically liberal and somewhat progressive but he espouses far right unscientific nonsense
Far right.

Quote from AndyfromFL :
This doesn't support your conclusion. Here, let me summarize what you said to help out:
'There are not just two genders'
'What makes you say that?'
'Evidence'
Some cultures thought there were more than two.'

This might help: when you have to be so vague as to cite the term 'evidence' and not any evidence, your argument is fallacious.

So the existence of third genders in several cultures is not proof that there are more than two genders? Gender is a social construct not a biological feature.

Where is your evidence that there are only two genders? Your culture where only two genders exist?

I replied to someone who made a claim and said that his claim was not true and it was not supported by evidence. That doesn't place the burden of proof on me to make any claim- I'm asserting that his claim is untrue and unproven.

The article you linked to agrees with you, but that doesn't prove the case. You and the person I replied to are committing the same fallacy- you assert in some cases that popular opinion determines truth, but in other instances (like whether the earth is flat) assert that popular opinion doesn't determine truth. The author asserting that gender and sex are different things, rather than synonyms, does not mean that the assertion is true. Innumerable articles of opinion do not affect truth.

Edit- on rereading your challenge, I think I might be of further help. You're asserting that cultures are (at least in part) responsible for determining how many genders there are- yet you wouldn't say that fifty years ago in America there were only two genders, would you?

So where is your evidence to back up your claims that only two genders exist? Feelings? Emotions? Cultural biases?

I'm not sure what evidence I could provide you- I believe the Bible is God's word, and it plainly designates two genders. I'd fall back on saying that the term gender and sex are synonyms, and neither refers to a mystical 'inner identity.'

Edit: got rid of noting that I didn't actually make a claim just to move things along.
