So I got invited to a free speech event which includes the infamous Jordan Peterson
- Thread starter mentalfloss
- Start date
Only an idiot would need to be told that. Anyone who went to high school already knows it.
I don't think you understand the concept of morals.
Carry on.
You guys must have failed Trolling 101. Flossy never got any invite. Nobody invites the poor guy out of Mama's basement.
Every time you open your mouth my tiny grain of respect for your intelligence shrinks.
For crying out loud, get an education or STFU about things you know nothing about.
Please see above.
The Industrial Revolution was NOT a "movement".
And the only principle it was based on was greed.
It worked out damned well for us, but to romanticize it is just stupid.
Here, why don't you edumucate yourself instead of the usual blowhard stragedy:
While the Renaissance, with its roots in Christian art and doctrine, created solid foundations for the flourishing of art, architecture, philosophy, science and mathematics, free thought was still restricted. This period of restriction continued until the Enlightenment, a period where, free of the shackles of religious dogma, free thinkers could expand human knowledge at a rate never before seen.

Which has what to do with what ? It was the invention of the printing press which allowed the peasant classes to obtain edumacation .
Idiot.
What you said was Actually our morals were formed by the scientific enlightenment. (my emphasis)The removal of much of the religious restrictions were not a development of morals.
Many of the primary movers of the enlightenment were exceptionally religious, even if at odds with Church dogma. Galileo, Copernicus, Locke, Newton for example, each a deeply religious man.
Indeed, if you are looking for people that wish to restrict freedom according to dogma, just look in your mirror.
You're confusing one aspect of a moral system, a belief in God (which yes, motivated the moral philosophers of many different periods in history) with an actual subset of moral philosophy that resonated widely at that time - deontology, or virtue-based ethics.
The key point is that the revelation about deontology as a system of morality which actually encapsulates things like religion (or a belief in a deity/deities), had its greatest impact during the 18th century, the enlightenment.
Consequentialism became a moral counterpoint with its own subcategories, such as utilitarianism.
Without that period, we would be more narrowly focused on moral behaviour as something that should be granted by a deity or only understood as part of religion.
The scientific enlightenment was a marked change from the past, and it is the reason why our current moral behaviour isn't actually limited to what religion tells us - even though, on a superficial level, someone as dumb as you might think it does.
But that's why you're a dumb blowhard, so what can ya do?

Ouch!
(and this is from the Toronto Sun)
The expected fireworks expected at a panel discussion featuring controversial University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson Saturday was more of a whimper than a bang.
But an anticipated protest at the sold-out forum at Canada Christian College never materialized — perhaps because of the presence of half a dozen police cruisers prowling the area.
In fact, there was not a single placard to be seen.

I guess he's just not intelligent enough to inspire an audience beyond his cult of nutbars.
Which is just as well since everyone else is just a commie anyway. :lol:

Nah, just a flawed concept (like free trade).

Poor John.
'Anti-racist' group says it covered John A. Macdonald statue in red substance
The John A. Macdonald monument in downtown Montreal was covered head-to-toe with what appears to be red paint early Sunday.
Video posted online by a group of self-described “anti-colonial anti-racists” shows a colourful substance being sprayed onto the statue of Canada’s first prime minister at Place du Canada.
In an accompanying statement, the group said Macdonald was responsible for residential schools, measures to destroy Indigenous cultures and traditions, and the open promotion of “so-called ‘Aryan’ Canada.”
“John A. Macdonald was a white supremacist,” the statement read. “Macdonald’s statue belongs in a museum, not as a monument taking up public space in Montreal.”
