We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
Naturally I have instructed Jordon Peterson to read Joseph Campbell on archetypes, but I think in this quote Joseph was being edgy .
ReplyDeleteHistory is old fake news. A true myth is something else entire.
