notice zizek doesn't really go after him on any specific claims just strawmans some generalities which I think is just being a general provocateur not aimed at peterson so much as his followers
its more like a pro wrestling match
to extend the analogy, you cay say they agree on:
participating in the orginzation
getting paid
the general script
what sides are what
who the general audience is
and how to talk to them
what level they're on intellectually
etc
etc
to me its almost like zizek is asking rather politely, all things considered, peterson for clarification (on behalf of perhaps an as yet unconvinced segment), but while trying to save face so he's not like a student raising his hand. in other words, its sort of a game to save face, but it seems they agree inasmuch as its more or less a big game
so you'll see the camps fight it out somewhere I'm sure for zizek throwing the gauntlet but its more like a proxy intellectual request playing itself out across social lines
I do wanna see them debate on YouTube or something like pro wrestling. I'm such a rube
yeah that would be fun, I get the feeling they'd be friends behind the scenes

Sexual harassment: how the genders and generations see the issue differently
this is in the context of the super rich
moreover trump fucking over the office of the presidency and therefore the entire country on the theory he wants more money
that there's nothing bad about having money
that reminds me of the guy that said winning the lottery was the worst thing that ever happened to him before he committed suicide
if your point is that under some circumstances more money at the end of your life is a worthy pursuit, I don't disagree. I'm saying Trump, along with many people, are the archetype of the guy trying to get the drowning man a glass of water. this plays out a lot in american culture where money is considered this unmitigated substitute for everything such that pursuit of it makes it inherently worthy, which is just wrong. and old people stuck in that mode are just sad as is the culture, because they never realized what the point of it all was. when such a figure rises to the highest office it predictably negatively influences the entire body, but you can't place the blame on the man alone because its symptomatic of a culture that elected him
Giving people a free ride destroys their initiative.
he couldnt handle it coming from poverty. Trump's family is not that case.
I used to give my son $1/week allowance, but if he didn't keep his room clean, he got nothing.
When he was about eight, he set up a pop stand during a football game. I loaned him money to buy the pop and ice from Krogers, and he sold cans of pop for $1 each.
That day, after paying me back for the ice and pop, he cleared $120. He said to me, "Dad, I'm never cleaning my room again."
*EDIT*
He did that for several years, but then his revenue started to fall off, and he asked me why? I told him he wasn't cute any more. He then went out and hired two younger kids from the neighborhood to run the stand in his stead. He still arranged everything.
they have dreams and goals in life, and so do their kids, and money goes a long way in realizing your dreams
a father working long hours to provide for his kids is showing that his kids matter to him--too bad so few are able to appreciate the hard work that many men and women do for their families
Nothing wrong with a father working long hours, but hey, Trump's worth 4bn The reality is for most families, to meet consumer expectations, requires 2 wages.
Anyway what went wrong was women seeking 'liberation' to enter the workforce, which reduced overall wages so now two adult incomes pretty much goes as far as one used to. But, your profile says social work as occupation, so I guess you see more marital problems which keeps your materialistic outlook going
Regardless it's a big subject probably, and my foods ready.

Yes, that's right. "Sugar does not appear to affect behavior in children," said Dr. Mark Wolraich, chief of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center, who researched sugar's effect on children in the 1990s.
Instead, parent's expectations of so-called "sugar highs" appear to color the way they view their children's behavior, Wolraich said. It's easy to see why parents make the link: Sugar is often the main attraction at birthday parties, on Halloween and other occasions when children are likely to bounce off the walls. But all that energy is due to kids being excited, not from the sugar in their systems, he said.
If parents believe that sugar affects their children's behavior, "their ideas are reinforced by seeing it in those circumstances," Wolraich told Live Science.

Moreover, the researchers also videotaped the interactions between the boys and their moms. The tapes revealed that the mothers who believed their sons had sugar stayed closer to their sons and were more likely to criticize, look at and talk to their sons than the mothers who were not told their sons had been given sugar.
"The placebo effect can be very powerful," Wolraich, who was not involved with the study, said to explain the results.
"affect behavior" is so vague did they define it? it affects my own behavior, the issue is more whether the "affect" is blown out of proportion to reality on the basis of inflated expectation. which is probably true. the way some people talk its like sugar is meth. its not that it doesn't "affect behavior" its enough to say it "affects behavior less than most people think" which is probably true. almost everyone knows the sugar rush thing is kind of a myth, although they may nevertheless buy into it when it comes to managing their kids because they're simply erroring on the side of caution, not that they really believe cookies will induce madness. also giving kids candy has just as many psychological effects as biological. in other words, half the excitement of sugar is in the getting not the actual biological processes. this is scientific autism meets those little every day domestic absurdities
today we had a one off class that kept everyone an hour later than usual with a 30 minute gap toward the end of the day and we all went out and bought candy, and it was great. take that science. nothing like a bunch of depressed future lawyers genuinely enjoying some relief from the world in the form of sugary snax. it was actually really heartwarming
yeah totes, its probably obvious now I didn't read the actual article

this is purely for humor's sake because i haven't even read the article
these statics have really gotten out of control
This is not news though, unless their excuse is that time isn't real so it doesn't matter anyways. (Also, time is real. Time has an interesting phenomenology and it's pretty trippy and useful to take apart assumptions about time since time is this tyrant in our language and society, but even if you think it isn't what people think it is that doesn't change the fact that it exists.)
