The War on Competence

Sir, you-you can't expect us to not take precautions. 

You could be carrying some kind of alien pathogen.

Superman : 

Been here for 33 years, Doctor. 

Haven't infected anyone yet.

General Swanwick : 

That we know of. 

We have legitimate security concerns. 

Now, you revealed your identity to Miss Lane over there. 

Why won't you do the same with us?

Superman :

Let's put our cards on the table here, General.

[Superman effortlessly snaps the links between his cuffs and approaches General Swanwick] 

You're scared of me because you can't control me. 

You don't, and you never will. 

But that doesn't mean I'm Your Enemy.

Jordan Peterson on the #Metoo Moment

Well, some of it is, that there is a concerted effort on the part of the radical, post-modern Left to erase the distinction between categories of criminal behaviour.

The Postmodernists don't like categories, you see -

If you go WAY down into the structure of The Current Culture Wars, what you see is that at The Very Base of it -

There's Two Things that the Postmodern NeoMarxists are full-scale assaulting :

One is Categorisation, because They believe that 

The Only Function of Categorisation is Power.

The other is,

There's a War on Competence -

Because, if you admit that there are hierarchical structures that are predicated upon Competence, 

then you have to grapple with the issue of Competence, 

and you have to grapple with the issue of Valid Hierarchy.

If All Hierarchy is Power

and

All Power is Corrupt

and

All Corrupt Power is Tyranny

then, you can't admit to Competence.

But the downside is, there's a terrible price to be paid for that, because 

Every Value System Produces a Hierarchy.

So if you dispense with the hierarchy, 

You dispense with The Value Systems.
