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.

No one listens to this man. He's a meme, like an actual meme.

His books sell, people go to his lectures but nothing he says is changing anything. Nigger music has more effect on society than he does.

while i agree that he made zizek look omniscient by comparison, i dont think zizek is all that dull, it wasn't a fair fight, you could see the blood rush from JBP's face after the first opening statements.

I liked him better as a psychologist, in all honesty.

Lmfao your being legit here? Bruh I never laughed so hard at a /lit/ thread. I fucking love this board.

Name one meaningful thing this nigga contributed to society as a whole. And if you start with "clean your room", Literally thousands of people have said it before him. Booker t Washington said the same shit in his biography

Yes but to deny that his influence is much larger in number of people affected is to ignore reality

[Anonymous No.13202770]

>>13202764
I've never met a single person affected by him irl. Most people who know him don't even know his philosophy.

The majority of people who look to JBP do it because they already agree with him. Influential implies change, which JBP has not so far been capable of producing.

[Anonymous No.13202798]

I think we can ALL agree that, love him or hate him, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is currently not /lit/. If he is, Tony Robbins is /lit/, basically any self-help guru public speaker who shat out some ghostwritten crap to make money is /lit/, and no one wants that here.

Depends what you mean by 'change', because a lot is changing for a lot of people. He talks on occasion about how so often he's approached by people and told that he's had a very positive impact on their life and that things are better. I think, like everything else he says, like as I try to do s best I can, he's speaking the truth.

In terms of change in philosophy, well I still need to read Maps of Meaning to see what impact that's had. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if a statue of him is erected in the future. There will be tears all over the world when he sadly passes, which will hopefully be MANY decades from now. God will be pleased with him, I think. I've no doubt that many more people are returning to Christianity or otherwise checking it out to get their own interpretation of it. I believe the more people turning to God, the better. Ideally even Muslims would open their eyes to their own religion's evil and adopt the real truth of Christianity.

This kind of talk about ANYONE, let alone an intellectual, shows a vast divorce from reality. I have only ever found myself to be deeply delusional any time I assume anyone knows a figure I personally take to be immensely influential, culturally important, etc. Guranteed no one in your immediate circle of relatives and friends, separate from those you bonded with on the basis of knowing JBP, know who JBP is.
