It’s almost as if ideas aren’t generated in a vacuum, and are in fact heavily influenced by world views.
I’m willing to play on the rules of “don’t like the package, forget the message” like you’re suggesting with the Macleans opinion piece.
I’m also willing to play on the rules of “forget the package, and value the ideas” like you’re suggesting with JP/MC.
Having separate rules is odd though. Are we dismissing the macleans article as drivel and thus dismissing Peterson and Christiansen as drivel? Or does the package not actually matter, just the key takeaways, thus forcing people on both sides to validate the other?
Admittedly bias makes it easier to pick and choose, but I’m willing to put mine aside if others are for the sake of conversation.
