/lit/ - Literature

So I just watched a few of his lectures, and Peterson just regurgitates shit in packaged prose with little to no insight. How can people actually call this guy the great intellectual of our time?

This man had the gall to preach self-help, self-improvement, supposedly a way to pick yourself up instead of disintegrating completely.

But, he disintegrated completely. Everything that he wrote and advised is suspect now - clearly, it doesn't work. Perhaps it was just a big cope, a product of a sick mind, faulty and dangerous. The best thing for psychologically struggling people would be to stay away from his teachings as far as possible. Who knows how much harm he has caused?

Suddenly, he had all this authority. And he used it all in order to make as much money as possible. Why did this man need a patreon? Wasn't he making enough from his job, online services, youtube and merchandise? No, he needed to write a new book, and tour the world like a rock band. He rambled on endless topics to impressionable crowds, promoting himself and selling tickets, high on drugs.

And now, in truly Biblical fashion, the Lord has struck him down. RIP

Hmmm...

Have you read his books? Would you consider them to be intelligent?

I think we can ALL agree that, love him or hate him, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is currently the most influential person not only on this board, but on Western society.
