Quantum mechanical aspects of brain functions as underlying consciousness is a growing field of research. It's obviously not the mainstream, but it's not a joke. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-consciousness/
That's about quantum mechanics being a factor in consciousness though. Photon said Peterson believes that consciousness is a factor in quantum mechanics, which sounds like something else.

It's pretty galaxy brain to say Milo got blackballed for being abused as a child rather than you know, saying that adults ####ing kids is totally good and normal.
I don't like Milo and certainly don't agree with what he said, but how was it any different than the typical male reaction that we see when it is discovered that an attractive female teacher had sex with an underage male student?

Did you post this from a time machine in 2004?
Like, South Park made fun of how gross and abusive that stuff was in...2006?

My point is that that attitude still persists and does not generate much outrage. Perhaps in your smug and condescending world South Park is the great arbiter of social issues, but that's not reality.

Reality is that people condone statutory rape I guess? Boys will be boys rape victims.
Only one that shows up on YT is 8 years old, that one?
Could be, I don't know how many are on YouTube, I just remember watching that one because at first I misread the name and thought it was a debate with Dinesh D'souza and I wanted to see what kind of nightmare that would have been.

Also, let's not forget that Peterson, who consistently argues against equality of outcome because of the looming specter Marxism, simultaneously essentially argued that the solution to incels was equality of outcome in sexual partners, which is also completely insane.
and like you thinking Scheer compared gays to a dog, you also completely take everything Peterson says out of context or misconstrue it . everything you said there is wrong.

Rubin trying to pass himself off as a "classical liberal" and centrist voice of reason is particularly laughable when you take a look at who he's getting his paycheques from.
Beyond being a peddler and practitioner of pseudoscience nonsense, Peterson's arguments often fall apart under any kind of intellectual scrutiny. It was interesting seeing Cliff argue that no "left-wing" intellectual heavyweights were willing to debate Peterson, but he got exposed pretty badly when he debated Zizek in Toronto. His ideas are often revealed to be pretty extreme and nonsensical once you get past the word salads he uses to dress them up in, and he has a bad tendency to weigh-in (almost always incorrectly/incoherently) on topics he has virtually no expertise in.

I was just about to post that. At 4:40 he starts talking about how enforced monogamy gives everyone a chance to have a mate and it proceeds into a discussion where Rogan calls him out for essentially advocating for equality of outcome. And that doesn't even begin to get into all of the other nonsense he spews in there (e.g. the false dilemma of a monogamous society vs. a polygamist society, that incel violence is a direct result of a lack of female intimacy, etc.).

In cultures that permit men to take multiple wives, the intra-sexual competition that occurs causes greater levels of crime, violence, poverty and gender inequality than in societies that institutionalize and practice monogamous marriage.

I'm also not sure why Peterson is bringing polygamy me into the discussion. We by and large do live in a monogamous society and I don't know that anyone outside of extremist religious sects who are strongly advocating for a polygamous society. He's either tilting at windmills or he's conflating polygamy with polyamory and promiscuity.

That doesn't refute my point. You can blame dudes for being incels while also believing that the lack of female intimacy is the cause of incel violence. To be fair, he's more directly saying that it's a lack of female companionship/partnership that's driving the violence. Either way, it's a pretty simplistic take.
