Missing a Highway Exit

Sometimes, the desired change is just not possible or available as an option.

It's like missing a highway exit.

Or like being on the wrong train.

Your desired destination is just not on the menu.

What's the next stop?

The Value of being Capable of Doing the Unthinkable

Is Peterson Admiring the Ability to Commit Genocide?

 "You attract the world because of what you are capable of doing."

Interesting things to say. 

"Capable of doing."

Does Peterson see a special value in a state that is still, in this day and age, capable of committing genocide? 

He often criticizes liberals for what he perceives as weakness caused by “postmodern neo-Marxism” and argues that it undermines traditional values and hierarchies that he believes are essential for a stable society to effectively respond to evolutionary challenges successfully. 

So, is he actually promoting genocide to "get rid of the weak and eradicate victimhood"?

Isn't this an extension of the eugenics?

But even to his point, Palestinians, by their very mere survival despite the collusion and persistent efforts to ethnically cleanse them, deny their existence, change the names of their country, towns and villages, etc., despite all of these efforts by the world's most powerful, ruthless and resource-rich empires throughout the past 100 years, Palestinians prove that they are anything but weak.

In this war alone, Israel has carpet-bombed the Palestinians with intensity that had never before been seen - even in World War II ...

Using more ammunition than what was used in some of the biggest battles of history, those where the warfront stretched over continents ...

Israel used more bombs to destroy a 365 sq. km area, receiving endless supplies and hundreds of billions in funding from governments and private donations, while facing an enemy that has been under siege for 20 years, or 76 years - depending how you look at things. 

Yet, Israel has failed to achieve any of its stated goals.

But Peterson thinks, hopes or at least preaches - that a Shining City on a Hill will ultimately manage to "finish the job" and that "the fate of the world depends on the people of Israel" ... "this tiny people in no man's land" . He actually said "no man's land"!

For a while I thought he was just using reason. But then he said "You show the world what the "holy city" should look like" and teared up. He choked on his tears. This is not coming from philosophy, logical reasoning or Darwinian social evolution. This is coming from something much more emotionally poweful. It is faith. And when faith and genocide intersect we must suspect messianic beliefs.

Now I am starting to realize how these messianic beliefs actually mess up your reasoning and kill your humanity. One becomes just an extension to the virus or meme which is trying to propagate Armageddon.
