David Wood on the Jordan Peterson-Channel4 TV debacle

Normally I would never give this much attention to an event as I and we are doing with the Peterson TV debates.

The reason for doing so in this case, is not about gloating whatsoever.

It is because her approach to this ambush is indicative of a societal problem that is profound and serious and far reaching. For those who saw the Wendy Mesley attack, which was both more dishonest and more effective as character assassination disguised as an ‘interview’, (and was also an Ambush, even more so than the Channel4 one) you may know what I mean.

These TV networks with massive reach are determined to destroy a point of view, and not with facts, science or honesty and not because it is wrong.

But because they don’t like it.

And that makes it worth posting about until the problem goes away.

  1. Many people assume and/or misinterpret.
    I was reading the recommendations of the M-103 finalized report on Islamophobia.
    I fear we will be traveling the same road, most especially with our police officers (recommendation to indoctrinate them in matters of Islam).

  2. While I admire Peterson in many ways, I find his mixture of Darwinian reductionism and German mysticism rather unconvincing. But, I’ve been in a similar place myself before I realized the truth of the Judaeo-Christian god.

    • Mr F Middleton,

      I am about to listen to three perspectives on the subject “Is there a meaning to life?” with Jordan Peterson as one of the speakers.

      In the meantime, I’d enjoy to come back to your fuller explanation of your statement:
      “I realized the truth of the Judaeo-Christian god,”

      Odd, because Saul/St Paul did not recognize the voice of the Christian God. This Jesus-God, had to tell him directy who He Was.

      Acts 9:
      “3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

      5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.

      “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. 6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.””

      Every servant knows his masters voice. G-d is Spirit. Hence, this must be a different God if He had to bypass heart, mind and soul and use sound-waves for Saul.

      Ergo, “I realized the truth of the Judaeo-Christian god,” is perplexing. God in Four Persons blessed Quartet?

      • So my point is, Jesus worshipped Y-W-H. St Paul worshipped Jesus.

        There are those who can see where a man is pointing to, while others can only fixate on his finger.

        This is a matter of adifferent levels of consiousness.

        And there are those who fixate on their prophets’weapons in return for peace if they submit.

        And those who fixate on themseves.

        Ergo, the truth of the Judeo-Christian God is fallacious. It is the Golden Rule reinforced in it’s completeness, that had been lost and forgotten in the efforts and pridefulness in Man.

        “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.””

        The nuckleheads had only followed one of the halfs and then thought it was all about them.

        • Which mean that “Judeo-Christian” is any society that follows the Narrow Way between the two.
          The enlightenment after Christendom.

        • “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a]

          Is to realize we are not G-d. We cannot think for G-d.

          Similarly,

          ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

          Means we are not our neighbor. We cannot think for our neighbor.

          If we did, we would have Islam and Communism.
          Blasphemy snd Political Correctness. Slavery on Earth.

          There is no commandment greater than these.

        • To follow the outcome of the argument.

          “You cannot tell me what Allah says – because Allah will tell me Himself.”

          “You cannot tell me what the people want because the free market will tell me itself.”

          Do you have a problem with that?

          Kafir!

          Capitalist!

          (And you are tortured and murdered -because you subsidized their lifestyles so they could breed more than you).

  3. I think people got too hung-up on the phrase Judaeo-Christian here. I am a believer in Jesus Christ and therefore, the Trinity.
