>/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but ideally those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

>Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? Jordan Peterson offers a provocative new hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

I mean, I don't place much value on it, but the people who feel the need to make their youtube videos about their lower scores just in case the test is private like the rest of them really make me laugh. It says a lot more about personality and character to do that than it does about your IQ.

>has high IQ
>doesn't know how to read
He whined on and on about that Canadian bill, C-16, and complained that you would get fined or jailed for misgendering or wrong pronoun use. But there isn't a single sentence in that entire bill that even implies that. If he actually read it he would know that.

>>9704669
still hate speech though

>>9704669
Anon, I.. you're the brainlet in this instance.

>>9704678
No, it isn't. The only thing in that bill that says anything about hate speech is "hate propaganda", which has a very specific definition in Canadian law. There is nothing about misgendering in the bill. C-16 is just a modification on the human rights bill to add gender identity. So if you're trans, you can't be discriminated against for employment, for example.

>>9704682
Okay, then name the sentence that says that. Do it, dipshit. You can't.

>>9703886
It is true. Exercise increases blood flow and flushes toxins from your brain.

>mfw manlets are brainlets and exercising at the library does nothing.

>>9704686
isn't it hate propaganda to make a youtube channel with videos dedicated to stopped people from using gender pronouns because it's "marxist/post modernist thought control"?

>>9704669
>peterson didn't read bill c-16

>>9704701
This is just a video of him reading out a letter sent to him. Hilariously, people also thought he was getting fired over that when he never was.

Why don't you just read that damn text yourself? You're on /lit/, a board supposedly dedicated to reading. It's literally less than a page long.

http://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/bill/C-16/royal-assent

There isn't a single mention of misgendering or pronoun use in that bill. There is nothing defining misgendering or pronoun use as hate speech either. Peterson was bullshitting.

>>9703809
Isn't this guy supposed to be a babbling idiot?

>>9704717
watch more than a cumulative 30 seconds of the video, he addresses all of your retarded points

>>9704717
>This enactment amends theCanadian Human Rights Actto add gender identity and gender expression to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination.
What is misgendering someone?

I had really hoped those IQ clickbait ads at the bottom of this site were just signs of the impending internet advertising bubble, but I'll be damned.

>>9704723
No, he doesn't, Peterson shill. He reads a letter, challenges the people who sent him the letter to a debate, and then plays footage of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

>>9704733
Discrimination would be refused from being hired in a government position because you're trans. There is nothing in the bill defining misgendering as discrimination. This is merely you and Peterson hypothesizing that it could possibly, maybe, be interpreted that way without any solid evidence. The notion that the Human Rights Commission would undergo an entire investigation simply because someone called you a boy when you feel like you're a girl is laughable. The government won't magically kick your door down and drag you to court simply because you said "he" instead of "she" once.

>>9704733
That's way too vague to claim it's banning misgendering people

>>9703900

the amount of ignorance in this pot really reveals the amount of people that don't read a shit and just fall for lit memes

>>9704798
>>9704793
The Canadian Government has already used it as reason to shut down spa's that have "Women's only" services that do not allow pre-op trasgenders to take part. Specifically, they shut down a spa (Or a gym? Doesn't matter) that had "Women's only day" and did not include crossdressing men under "women". So while it's not quite at "misgendering" it's a legitimate fear.

That's not true whatsoever. Maybe an enthusiasm for test taking and learning new things decreases but, at 25, I'm definitely smarter than the 17-18 year old me even though that age is when I built my intellectual foundation. A part of it is the idea that the world is so new, it causes you to seek knowledge. I'm sure neuroplasticity decreases when that's no longer the case, but it's been proven that neuoplasticity (and I'm also postulating intelligence, and an ability to learn new things) can be regenerated.

The map is not the territory. Correlation is not causation. As long as you're alive you can push yourself in whatever direction you want.

We know pretty much nothing for sure in science.

>After University of Toronto psychology professor Jordan Peterson complained about what he called, "political correctness," having to use gender-neutral pronouns in class, and Bill C-16, students and professors alike spoke out. U of T students staged a "teach-in and rally" in order to "fight transphobia, intersexism, and nonbinary erasure in post-secondary education" and over 250 faculty members signed a letter associating Peterson's comments with "hate speech." Just last week administrators ordered Peterson to "stop making statements that could be considered discriminatory under provincial human rights legislation."

They tested the Nuremberg Nazis. It's actually a hilarious story because Goering found out Schacht tested higher than he did, and demanded to take the test again. (They didn't let him). Only about half of them scored in the 99th, and iirc Goering though Goebbels was a retard long before that. Hitler wasn't the smartest of the bunch, but he was more affable than most. However, even then, it's unlikely he would be 150 in verbal, since even those that were highly tested amongst the rest, 143 was the highest score (Schacht's score)
Stalin banned IQ as bourgeois mind poison so it's highly unlikely he would score anywhere on the scale.

Not entirely, no. But you are assuming based on limited information. I seek for information with scientific backing, that's what I mean.
>>9706599
I don't want to argue about this since we are on /lit/. But namely it is Jung. Psychology has moved beyond that.
There is more of that kind, such as the interpretations of movies and talk of chaos, dragon etc.

Maybe it is unfair to single him out for it, but I do it because of him being a scientist.

>>9706643
Psychology hasn't "moved beyond that". Experimental psych and psychoanalysis run parallel to each other.

If you read Maps of Meaning, you can see how he goes through multiple levels of analysis tracing how his ideas appear at each level. It's very biologically oriented.
