What? Are you retarded? Are you having a stroke?

Beterson made some good points. Everything after that was him harvesting the seeds he sew. The guy played his hand more intelligently than most people could ever dream of doing. Philosophically, he possesses understanding. In terms of originality of substance, his organization of ideas is about his only strong point. His application is exactly reminiscent of the people he’s extracted them from. He’s good at stringing words together and people like to listen. His book sold well and as a result he had the means to do projects that increased his fame. His debate with Zizek showed the world that neither men are truly pioneering anything relating to philosophy. They’re merely standing on the shoulders of the greats and whistling at eachother. Peterson makes strong points, and he makes them well and effectively. If you’re unable to get off your ass and immediately implement them, he doesn’t give a shit about you and actively criticizes or feels downright sorry for you.

He is a fraud if you think he’s trying to be a great spiritual leader. He’s a fraud if you think he’s trying to re invent psychologicy or philosophically. He is an excellent motivational speaker, and an above average author. Clean your room and proceed towards your goals.

reasons people dislike this guy:
1. trying to help loser guys. there's something inherently disgusting about someone trying to help people who've showed themselves to be genetically unfit. people are okay with charity cases because the implication there is that we allow these people to smoothly disappear into the mist. telling deselected men to assert themselves is an attack on society's judgement
2. overton window. political entropy decides that every category and restriction is eventually up for grabs and someone who puts down his foot is implicitly saying that there's a limit to what you can be. people who haven't thought about this deeply will respond with hate because it's like someone for the first time ever telling them that the sky isn't the limit. btw the sky's obviously the limit but the limit is resources (which might become virtually endless) and the sky might be hell
3. omg he's totally not a true intellectual like uh dawkins, hawking and pinker. you're lying to yourself if you start to seethe when jbp opens his mouth but it barely registers when hucksters like dawkins, pinker and hawking are pontificating about societal dynamics

once again, I refer to points one and two. these are the reasons for your madness

the stuff he says about psychology isn't exactly groundbreaking and his "pontifications" about politics is as good and well-argued as any anodyne being peddled right now by the most well-regarded popular thinkers. he's not even popular, he's seen as a curious object for retarded men to latch on to. people like pinker are actually melting the nervous system of society and much more effectively than peterson. you're a white blood cell attacking a guy who we haven't been completely immunized to while missing the cancer.

his "actual" understanding of nietzsche or postmodernism is unimportant, the interesting part is his perfect understanding of how we're in a watershed moment that will probably end with a lot of death. his project is ultimately not a philosophical one, it's a political one. these terms (marxists or postmodernists) are buzzwords; they're meant to clue you in to the fact that he sees the decay of the west. they're meant to soothe disgruntled men looking for a violent option; daddy sees you and you need to clean your room, bucko

Absolutely.
He got famous by criticizing the C-16 bill, claiming it would bring about some sort of Maoist dystopia, when all it did was place trans people in the same class as other racial or sexual minorities in terms of being protected against discrimination.

He's got some credentials in psychology, and I won't be arguing those; but his takes on philosophy are cringe-worthy.
Like saying post modernists (whatever the hell he means by that) are marxists in disguise. That Marx completely ignores Nature in his system (when it's the object of all labour).
His dogmatic belief in/annoying catch phrase "clean up your room before you try to change the world", which is just empirically wrong on top of being self-evidently retarded and propaganda for the blind maintenance of the status quo.

I'm sure I could come up with more if I went back and rewatched some of his lectures and debates. But I don't feel like torturing myself today.

“Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.”

it's not about the issue itself, it's about the boundless charge into the epistemological abyss. men aren't women and the more you push it, the more dysfunction you'll have and the more destruction you'll have when the bottom falls out. it's about preventing the west from adopting more death memes

>Like saying post modernists (whatever the hell he means by that) are marxists in disguise.

once again, it's not a philosophical mission, it's a political one. death memes are okay for dysfunctional 140+ IQ academics, it's not okay to broadcast it as gospel to normies and make them ineffective, sad and stupid unless you have intentions of ruling in hell

>blind maintenance of the status quo.

Yes.
He is a post modernist despite all his protestations.
He uses dense and verbose dialogue to say incredibly complex things that actually say nothing at all or something very simple.
His whole agenda is attacking social progressive movements and environmentalism.

The man is a Koch crony.

He got his big break at Rebel Media.
Rebel Media was founded by Ezra Levant, in college he was a Koch Foundation Summer Fellow and attended Institute for Humane Studies and Liberty Fund events. He did his internship at the Charles G. Koch Foundation and worked at the Fraser Institute their main think tank in Canada. Rebel has received funding from the Middle East Forum, which the Kochs fund. And has produced anti-Muslim attack ads with MEF featuring far-right personalities.
Peterson has spoken at the Manhattan Institute and Heritage Foundation, both Koch funded.
On his twitter he has recommended IHS and HumanProgress which is a project of the Cato Institute which the Kochs founded and fund.
And he attends TPUSA events, which the Kochs fund through 4 different groups.

Peterson has helped more people than most of us could ever possibly dream of. Has any here who is criticising him ever honestly tried self authoring? It's life changing. If you are already so great that you don't need it, great for you, but a lot of us were challenged not to settle for the lives we were living, and it raised us up. All the squabbling over his points of view don't matter at all to a person like me.

I quit doing cocaine
confronted my abusive alcoholic father
repaired relationships with a sister who I hadn't spoken to in 15 years
Read my first book in 10 years
Quit all drugs
Quit being an edgy atheist
As a consequence I'm a better husband, father, employee, neighbour, and citizen.

I've been to see him many times. Everyone at the events is there to thank him for his impact on their lives. The conversation rarely ever shifted to his policy viewpoints or Sam Harris debates or if he's a crypto jew or whatever. I've never met a finer man.

I hope everyone who is reading this will take the time to try to self authoring. Get a stolen version if you have to. It helped me think deeply about my life. Please try it guys.

I'm Canadian too which is why you framing Rebel Media as something outside of Canada stuck out to me. I never said it was his big break you are mixing up your (You)'s. the first time I saw Peterson was his youtube video he posted outlining the letter he received from U of T. either way, it's pretty obvious by his shilling of Koch organizations and his relation to other Koch funded individuals that it's quite likely he's a Koch shill.

Well-adjusted guys just know the beta terminology from a chance few encounters online. They don't rail on men they perceive to be lower than them on the literature board of 4chan. Take it from me.

And yet they insist that Sniffman's verbose musings, chaotic ramblings on China, Trump and SJWs and the occasional purposeless mentioning of philosophers made him a victor?

Calling me a drone is both an ad hominem and a strawman since not only you're attributing to me the imaginary notion that I'm someone deeply protective of Peterson's method when in reality I'm barely familiar with his work, but you're also clearly using these laughable peronal attacks as a subterfuge to not answer the very simple and objective questions I imposed to you.

>Now tell me, where in my analysis of peterson am I wrong?
Why are you so defensive? Where exactly have I assumed you're wrong? You may very well be right and Peterson is indeed nothing but a charlatan. However, since you presented no actual evidence of Peterson's shallowness as a thinker and public speaker, I have no reason whatsoever to believe in your claims. Regardless, that doesn't make your positioning towards him any less hypocritical.

Different Anon.
He does present himself as authority.
Ironically, by advocating the idea that you should avoid ideology, he is attracting ideological thinking. He's too abstract, which is characteristic of people who attempt to present themselves as authority.
Sorry, if you write a book called Rules for Life and give talks on helping people how to live, you are attempting to be an authority on that subject. Don't play a sucker here.

>He's too abstract, which is characteristic of people who attempt to present themselves as authority.
Abstract on what subject? There's a major difference in using abstraction to explain jungian theory and to point out fallacies of marxism (which I haven't seen him be abstract about, at least as far as my admittedly shallow knowledge of his work go).
>Sorry, if you write a book called Rules for Life and give talks on helping people how to live, you are attempting to be an authority on that subject.
I think you're taking way too literally something that's supposed to be a marketing tool. I don't think people unfamiliar with Peterson's work would bother checking a book called "12 Somewhat Useful But Subjectively Personal Suggestions for Life". As far as being an "authority" on self-help goes, his long career as a clinical psychologist makes him a better candidate than the huge majority of self-help authors that rely on even more entry-level platitudes than Peterson, if not on esoteric pseudoscience or self-fulfilling prophecies like The Secret.

>Where does he say that?
Watch his videos. It's also one of the rules in his new book.
>Abstract on what subject?
Jungian theory is a different beast altogether.
He wanders off a lot when he talks about things like career and finance for example. It becomes so abstract to the point where you hear that financially successful people work 70 hour work weeks, which is obvious, but he hesitates to go any further when it comes to what else you've got to do for that. It's always just hard work. He never fully admits that sometimes you just fuck someone over to get ahead or deliberately build specific relationships with people to work your way through something. He selects hard work and either discards other things or abstracts them away.

It doesn't. That's where we fails as humans at large. Because you know something, doesn't mean you need to communicate it to the masses. That goes for everyone, including Peterson. Sure, we will keep on doing it, but there's no reason to assume that it is in any way normal. Just like in some jobs, let's say lawyer, you accept that there are shady things you engage in. Talking to the masses is always a shady thing. Let's see it as such.

he's explained he knows it's a contradiction and that no one can actually be a postmodern-neomarxist, but he's never gone on to explain why that makes it worthwhile as a category. his take on people applying the idea of unjust hierarchy to things like race/sex/ect. as a continuation of Marxism ignores the fact that those ideas not only predate Marxism, Marx himself directly criticized this type of thinking.
