    It really irritates me that people downvoted you for sharing information. People have mixed feels about Jordan Peterson. There are things about him I personally dislike (he rambles… a lot) and some of his views are outright wrong but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t helped people, or that he doesn’t make good points

    People are so black and white in their thinking. The rigidity frustrates me. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to share. I appreciate it

    Edit: I watched both the video suggested and the Veritasium video. The latter was significantly more informative and interesting. Peterson did that thing that he does where he rambled a lot, though the paper folding story is interesting

      It’s annoying that I have to apparently research every person in every bit of media before I watch it. Some people get so worked up by this and ignore a lot of actually important info as a result.

      I just assume anyone whining and downvoting is one of the 16%.

        I agree. Simply watching a single video that someone controversial posted should not make a person guilty by association!

        Lemmings (and redditors) often seem to be all or nothing and I find that disappointing
