There is very little wisdom in what
@Zero Day Defense wrote, but I see some ambition I definitely applaud.
His writing is
inherently sophomoric. He, of course, meant to say "to accept as inherent". Adverbs, my dear wanna-be linguist, are used to add some flavor to verbs. I see some feeble attempt to obscure lack of deep meaning by overusing all the important sounding words he once memorized, and to stay on topic Jordan Peterson is much more skillful in this ignoble craft than his ardent defender.
Here are some other of his mistakes that suggest he is first generation who went to college, there were few good books in his household, and he tries hard to rise above his humble beginnings (again, no shame in that):
"I thought I asked you to consider that you're importing by yourself an attitude absent from what I actually convey"
Here our dear friend is using two words without full understanding of their meaning. This kind of understanding comes from reading many books, living life, and talking to many different people. Don't despair,
@Zero Fucks Given' you're getting there, some day...
The problem with "convey" here is that how message is understood does not depend on the communicator alone. Exactly the same message can be understood differently by different people. Therefore, one cannot authoritatively state that he conveys certain message, but alas, only what
he tries to convey.
Of course "import" also makes him sound like Bertie Wooster. Only the archaic meaning makes some sense in this context, but there are other words that would fit here better. I would rewrite this sentence preserving pretentiousness and the big words in following way:
"I thought I asked you to consider that you are interpolating an attitude absent from what I tried to convey".
But... we are still left with one small problem. Why someone on the internet would ever think that him (rhetorically) asking for anything has any importance whatsoever? I don't want to be cruel to this boy, because I recognize in his musings some deep seated longing for good old times where people were truly educated.
Unfortunately, we live in 21st century and such a washout like JP is considered a grand intellectual. What a shame!
