It came up. Idk anything about the dude who is talking but I can relate to what he is saying if I am understanding his point correctly. It’s good to be nice but you have to know how to shut your emotions off and fight when it comes to protecting yourself, family, etc.Bobcobbagob wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 8:00 pmGoogle “ Jordan Peterson men should be dangerous” it’s a 54 second videoSouthernIslander wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 7:59 pm It’s not playing for me.

That some of the most virtuous are those who study martial arts, because while they are learning to be dangerous, they are learning control most of all and those two married make for a non-violent virtuous person.
