Jordan Peterson discussion thread - Therapeutic moralistic Jungian/surrogate dad for pepes

[spurger king]

For those of you who don't know who Jordan Peterson is, he's a psychology professor/clinical psychologist from Canada. He has a pretty big Youtube presence, and published a top-selling self-help book a while ago. He also is public enemy number one for troons and irrelevant academics, since he is a public intellectual that people actually give a shit about. I don't personally consider him a lolcow, but he is definitely an idiosyncratic internet personality with a bunch of patreon paypigs so I figured a lot of you would already know about him. Anyway what are your thoughts on this dude?

I binge watched a lot of his videos once with an open mind, I didn't like. It felt like cheap self-help.

But the political sperg around him is stupid, he almost never touch these topics.

wash your penis and clean your room.

I like his style. I could write a laundry list of points on which I think he's incorrect, but I like his style.

I also admire his ability to stay calm and civil in the face of hysterical mobs. It's not easy to be the only person in a crowd who keeps their head; agitation is contagious.

He's basically the conservative equivalent of Slavoj Zizek or Deepak Chopra; providing a bunch of commentary that is either blatantly obvious or completely meaningless, and delivering it in a way that is borderline or completely incomprehensible so morons will mistake it for being profound and mind-blowing, and he can rebut critics by claiming they simply didn't understand his points. The most annoying thing about him to me is that last point; he often makes statements that are intentionally controversial and inflammatory, then when he's challenged on them he will redefine terms (including terms like "truth," "god," etc, that have commonly understood and accepted definitions that he knows people will interpret his words by) to make them completely innocuous and frame his statements in ways that no reasonable person could actually disagree with (so he tries to act like the critics are just morons who didn't understand him). It's surprisingly avoidant for someone who is generally considered a culture warrior.

I actually agree with him on a number of topics, and he manages to make a lot of his opponents froth at the mouth and look infinitely worse than him, but I hate his approach.

I once made a post about Stephen doing that debate on Jordan's side and one of my mutuals started freaking out because Stephen paired up with that "gross Jordan Peterson."
The people who hate him make me cringe more than any weird thing Jordan has said.

What this

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

I dunno. He's alright I guess. Never quite understood why he inspires such polarizing feelings.

I don't ever wash my penis and he can't do a damn thing to make me.
