Jordan Peterson Interviews Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy | EP 341 - YouTube
First time I've heard of this candidate, but at least there's one more option for those of you interested in voting.
On a side note, this is why I love Starting Strength:
Peterson, around minute 47:00, starts talking about the vision put forth by this new alliance he's trying to create (ARC), and particularly the vision of family, and he talks about it in the same way we refer to the Model in SS.
The main critique of an ideal family, is that it marginalizes anyone who doesn't belong in it.
But this is wrong, because an ideal, just like a model, is a point of reference, not a rigid exclusionary requirement. There ARE going to be deviations from the model. Way more deviations than there are perfect represantations of it. But it doesn't mean that the model is not the ideal way of doing something and that it can't exist. The SS model doesn't exclude anybody who can't perfectly replicate it, or very few people would be doing it successfully.
The reason why the radical post-modernists have created their alternative group identity vision is to destroy the type of ideal that gives people meaning, a sense of actual belonging in a, like Peterson calls it, subsidiary hierarchy, where everyone recognizes themselves not by their own individual feeling of identity or a generalized group identity, but by their roles in the hierarchy, as opposed to a top-down power structure or a complete directionless collectivism.
Just like SS, all this stuff requires a lot of analysis and expertise, but it's actually quite simple when you get to the core of it, and it's pretty counter-intuitive for most people.
I'm starting to realize how an incremental adaptive nature and the analysis necessary to create a Model, actually apply to almost anything in life, and how random things are without it.
