Vox day youtube12/31/2023 ![]() Even after knowing about his involvement with the Trilateral Commission, his judgement of the Brett Kavanaugh situation, and reading this book, part of me still likes some of JBP’s messages. Vox acknowledges that people like myself, Owen Benjamin, and others feel “bewildered” or “tricked” at how we could be taken in by this guy. It’s somewhat equivalent to a grumpy dad saying to a group of rowdy kids, “I wasn’t going to come downstairs and break this up, but y’all wouldn’t stop so now I’m here.” This part is highly skippable and mostly receipts. This analysis is followed by a very long list of quotes pulled from YouTube comments, an analysis of like/dislike ratios, and a transcript of the Voxiversity video on JBP (let’s be real: the transcript doesn’t do the video justice-the comedic timing of the editing is superb). That is bending evidence into a pre-formed conclusion. It’s quite another thing to cite the complete opposite conclusion from what the authors wrote in a study. It’s one thing to make small errors or fail to understand statistics well (quite common among university faculty). There are a few parts of this book that are going to stick with me for quite some time, and Vox’s analysis of JBP handles citations and evidence is going to be one of those things. ![]() Then, we have an introduction to how Vox got involved, in typical Vox style. Milo’s writing style is always a little abrasive, but it’s good to get a third angle on things. First we have an introduction from Milo Yiannopoulos, who has been personally lied about by Jordan “don’t say things that aren’t true” Peterson. I particularly liked how the book was structured at the beginning-a mix of social proof, evidence, and reasoning. First, a look at Jordanetics: A Journey into the Mind of Humanity’s Greatest Thinker. What I did not expect was the stake to the heart.īut more on that in a bit. The takedown would go a little bit too far (it’s a bit much for me to fathom going that hard at someone with an admitted mental illness, but then again I’m a girl and I don’t go hard at anyone), would probably make a few wisecracks about the all-meat diet, and would pull apart JPB’s books in a way that people couldn’t ignore. ![]() When I opened Vox Day’s Jordanetics last week, I was expecting something similar to what Vox has posted in his blog and uploaded in his YouTube livestreams: a fairly straightforward takedown of Jordan B Peterson and his views. This is less of a review and more of a reaction.
