Jordan Peterson is enlightening at a truly scary level making disagreement with him more than a little risky. However, his own thoughts provide insight here. Trying to understand civil adversaries is, as he promotes, a better approach than even mild confrontation. But I learned from him that the “meek” inheriting the earth is a misnomer. Those with the knowledge, skill, and fortitude to keep their swords sheathed until absolutely necessary will inherit. Sheathed does not mean unarmed.
Unfortunately, the barbarians are through the gate, slashing our friends and family, and destroying our home. Quasi academic settings may afford a civil landscape to discuss heady matters, but at barrooms, ball games, and family fish fries the barbarians wreak havoc with anyone foolish enough to openly disagree with them. The barbarians are almost always wrong but they’re never in doubt or quiet about it.
Still, I’m going to take his advice try to listen longer before mentally hanging up when the sophistry begins.
