Are there any credible critics of Peterson and Maps of Meaning?

THREAD 2: MODS ARE SALTY COMMIES BOOGALOO

Last two threads produced these as the top contenders:

1. A roastie who gives a terrible youtube review of 12 Rules for Life.

2. A baby faced socialist who voted Hillary and thinks The View is serious forum for political discussion.

3. A PhD. Philosophy holder who doesn't know that morality is an emergent faculty of the play circuit in mammals.

Be sure to get in before the thread is deleted by angry jannies.

Clean your rooms.

But i posted a critique and you ignored it obviously knowing that you couldn't offer a sufficient critique of the critique. I will not expend any more effort (other than this pity post) in your vain attempts to make a name for yourself. You are at the bottom of tripfags, and you will remain there with this poor showing. Go clean your brain and then you might make a shitpost worthy of your predecessors.

Doesn't Peterson have a host of immune issues which means his body reacts especially violently to additives and preservatives in food?

Doesn't he say to clean your bedroom. That doesn't look like his bedroom. His bedroom is probably immaculate. You have to balance the dragon of chaos with order. This includes when it comes to your own residence.

OMG you think there is a commi revolution happening and Peterson an' Pals are preventing it rather than a geopolitical move by Corporate America to capture emerging "brown markets" by throwing Europeans and the EU under the bus with persistant race baiting so they can use the continent as a place to dump their new found consumers.
Thats cute.

The insidiousness of Jordan Peterson is that he simultaneously reduces timeless wisdom to self-help jargon and common sense advice while also affirming the righteousness and desirability of modernity. All of the problems that Peterson tackles are themselves just various manifestations of modernity itself, but nothing he talks or writes delves into this larger problem itself or how to deal with it. To the contrary, he takes religious texts that contain profound wisdom and teachings passed down through the ages and uses them as corporate bug-man self-help advice for kids who weren't raised properly. Peterson low-key pushes a mythos that western society in modernity is fundamentally just and a good thing and that aside from some irrational, stupid and greedy people that you have to deal with that everything is okay in principle.

This couldn't be more wrong. Since the emergence of civilization most of the them were united by religious traditions teaching metaphysical knowledge. All the problems of the western mentality and society stem from the loss of this. Christ, the Neoplatonists and to some extent the Hermetics and certain Greek mystery cults all had it too but the Church eventually became an encrusted coffin of doctrine with no accompanying realizations to be had hence why it failed to prevent modernity from arising in the west. Without being connected to any higher understanding in any significant amount among it's intellectual elite, western society has ever since the renaissance has in free fall accompanied by materialism, nihilism, scientism and various other forms of spiritual and cultural degeneration. Peterson affirms all this as good by buying into the faulty idea of the linear progression of civilization and humanity and by shilling it to his unaware fans.

Did you ever figure out why Peterson never seriously delves into eastern thought aside from a few boomer references to Buddhism and Confucius? It's because it totally destroys his worldview and offers completely different solutions to the ideas he address. Why did one of the largest and most impressive bodies of spiritual literature ever emerge out of society with a caste system? Because they are the right way to base a society. Most of the societal problems he address wouldn't even arise in a traditional eastern civilization pre-modernity but just reflect the state of the modern west. It's bad enough that he does all of this already but then he takes one of the few sources of timeless wisdom that are tradition in the west and reduces it to a source of bland common-sense life advice instead of a window to transcendental truths where all problems are resolved.

We haven't lost metaphysical thinking it's just been increasingly supplanted by rational science

he's pretending he has Nietzsche's digestive system and it's real dumb.

Here:

From what I remember he doesn't critique him quickly, he slowly goes through a bit of it.

Anyways, it's still probably the best review on youtube, even though it's incomplete.

I just enjoy riling up people who criticize works and authors they've never read and know nothing about.

It's a small hobby honestly.
