He uses bits of this:
https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/philosophy/new-years-letter/
"A close reading of 20th century history indicates, as nothing else can,
the horrors that accompany loss of faith in the idea of the individual. It
is only the individual, after all, who suffers. The group does not suffer –
only those who compose it. Thus, the reality of the individual must be
regarded as primary if suffering is to be regarded seriously. Without such
regard, there can be no motivation to reduce suffering and, therefore, no
respite. Instead, the production of individual suffering can and has and
will be again rationalized and justified for its supposed benefits for the
future and the group."
Discussing this is as difficult (and off topic here) as anything Peterson
says or writes. He says all sorts of things that in isolation can seem
reasonable, but it's always in service of one of his cockamamie conclusions
that are ahistorical, wooly-minded and wrong, and yet irresistible to
people of a particular turn of mind. Just this one quote above can appeal
to all of us who regard ourselves as unique individuals, who want to
determine our own path through life. But it is a buttress to a large
argument that is misogynistic, reductive, and deeply silly. "The primary
image for women is not the Divine Individual, because of the heavy burden
they bear for reproduction."
And once again Professor FroggyVoice has suckered me into spending more
time than it is worthy of to deconstruct his idiocy. Damn him and his
tweedy speciousness!
