‘A Pseudo-Religious Story’: Jordan Peterson Gets To The Core Of Today’s Environmentalism On Tucker

Jordan B. Peterson, a psychologist and author, provided an overview of the environmentalist movement today that is almost spiritual in nature.

Tucker Carlson invited Jordan Peterson to join his show Friday to explain what Carlson observed to be a discrepancy — namely that environmentalism’s purported goal to save the environment actually does more harm to the environment than good. Peterson confirmed Carlson’s observation with his observation about Sri Lanka becoming a “superpower”. “wasteland” How Germany’s energy is more costly and less reliable. “idiot hypothetically environmentalist policies.” He explained then what he believed to be the reason.

“But there’s something that’s even deeper lying underneath the surface,” Peterson said this, citing converging evidence From different disciplines. “The structure through which we see the world is essentially a narrative—a story.”

Peterson asked the following question: What is this story? And what are its elements? 

“The environmentalists offer us a story to live by and it’s a pseudo-religious story and it essentially elevates the biosphere, the earth — Gaia, the earth goddess — to the status of primary deity and characterizes her as sort of a waif-like innocent victim, easily taken advantage of and fragile. It casts the entire human endeavor on the social front as a raping and pillaging, patriarchal, monster only interested in power. And, it casts the individual as a devouring mouth riding on the back of that giant, essentially.”

“It’s clearly the case that there’s nothing that reduces carbon production more effectively than nuclear power,” Peterson said. “It’s also clearly the case that if we were careful with nuclear power … that we could be providing extremely lost-cost energy to people, especially poor people throughout the world, but we’re not going to do that. In fact, we have an anti-energy policy in place, especially in any places that are ruled essentially by the left.”

Peterson observed that starvation has increased worldwide over the last few years due to environmentalist policies. “hypothetically well-meaning deluded pseudo-religious environmental worshippers of the apocalypse.” He called the situation “appalling,” It’s also a great idea! “likely to get worse before it gets better.”
