"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. It's that he doesn't even know what thinking is. He confuses it with feeling."
–Thomas Sowell
"Look, it is not merely that the individual lacks literacy, or even that he lacks the basic cognitive capacity to structure an argument. It’s far worse than that, man. He does not possess the conceptual framework to even comprehend what thinking actually is. He has completely subordinated the rigorous, painful architecture of logos to the chaotic, undifferentiated realm of mere subjective feeling. And that is an absolute catastrophe."
–Jordan B. Peterson
We’ve got a real crisis with these young people today, especially the young boys. You look at a guy like Johnny. The liberals want you to believe the problem is just that he can't read his books, or that his brain just doesn't work right. But that's a lie.
The real issue—and it’s so sad, folks—is that Johnny doesn't even know what thinking is! He has no idea. He’s completely blind. He takes his raw, angry emotions and he confuses that with logic. He thinks because he feels a certain way, that makes it the truth.
See, he’s been overprotected by his mama. He doesn't have a real father figure in the home to discipline him and teach him how to stand on truth. So he’s trapped in his feelings, acting just like a woman. He gets all offended, he gets all emotional, and he thinks he's being smart.
It’s total beta male behavior. He's completely driven by resentment and the ego. Until he forgives his parents and drops that weak emotional state, he’s never going to understand the truth.
Am I right or am I wrong? It's remarkable."
