Society/Culture Jordan B Peterson

Thing is with Jordie there isn’t a cohesive picture that paints his blog-book in a good light.

It is generally nonsense.

LOL you listened to a 1hr 43min review of a $20 book written by a bloke you will never buy a book from.

Instead, you could have got halfway through the audiobook of The Female Eunuch, or enjoyed an entire interview with Naomi Klein.

Never mind. I once sat through a Bunnings workshop "How to build a pergola in your backyard" even though, at the time, I lived in an apartment on the 6th floor.

Was this you m8??

You're normally a decent poster, but this is trash

I agree with the four words after the comma.

Lol no he isn't.

 

[freshazimiz]

Posters in here seem so easily triggered by what people say. What happened to freedom of speech these days?

 

[Chief]

lol you clowns are unreal

It's just a couple of hipsters reviewing Jordie's work and finding it lacking.

That's nice but not really fruitful in any way. I mean you haven't brought up why, just linked a podcast. Why is their view with listening to? What do they argue? Is there anything there that hasn't already been said? We could play the "you post a negative review then I post a positive one" for days but it's not interesting.

 

[juss]

I enjoy watching him speak, have only caught segments on YouTube, he is certainly excellent at articulating clearly and carefully his view which I think is a hugely underrated skill that many people lack.

 

[EasternTiger]

Stop lying. Tell the truth.

No wonder the lefties hate him.

 

[ChampRevesby]

There is no evidence supporting the existence of a cultural Marxism that exerts any meaningful influence on anything.

This is all very well known and has been studied for decades.

 

[mcnulty]

The West today is characterised by free market dominance and a hyper-commercialised pop culture. Don't thing Marx would approve, though he might be slightly amused that people seem to think he's actually winning.

Reckon he'd also be impressed by the unprecedented level of public spending on welfare in its various forms too? Or see it as a necessary evil for the bourgeoisie to satiate the prols and avoid revolution?

He's have to reconcile the fact his notion of progress towards the inevitably of communism has fallen apart. Then he'd probably agree with the 2nd part of your post.

It was a good plan... Just forgot to account for the fact that hierarchical structures are the natural mode being for humans still.

It's like Sideshow Bob said - "Your guilty conscience makes you vote Democrat, but deep down you want Republicans to lower taxes, punish criminals and rule with an iron fist"*






*Or something like that lol

 

[Snake_Baker]

Peterson has apparently joined the Nazi party.

How did people end up becoming so completely delusional?

Well Marx aside, as far as Peterson and his opinions regarding hierarchy are concerned;
I think he feels many fail to grasp the true depth and extrapolations of hierarchy, period. I also think he has attempted to get the all encompassing nature of hierarchy across to his audience in numerous ways himself, the most well known of course being referencing certain "Lobster" and "God" realities and propositions.
Basically I find myself in agreeance with his position regarding hierarchy as opposed to, for example, the inanely juvenile, lower IQ Humanities "academics" (I use that term very loosely) of more recent times, so fond of arguing that hierarchical structures are just a social construct, invented to allow certain people (such as white men) to have power over others.
What Peterson is trying to demonstrate, is that the very essence of every single element known, exists within some form of a hierarchical structure. From the smallest particles we currently know, existing within hierarchical realities of Quarks, Electrons, Protons, Nucleus, Atom etc to the largest cosmic structures and every animate and inanimate object between. All exist within some form of hierarchical construct, that which has the ability to effect it's existence through varying levels of importance. Hierarchy is everywhere, affecting everything and is inarguable in that sense. It is a reality the likes of which so many current-day low level "academics" fail to even conceptualise.
Peterson takes that reality and extrapolates it as far as we humans seem capable, at least for now, into a belief that, knowing hierarchy exists everywhere in everything, if we follow that chain all the way to the top, we must eventually stumble on the hierarchical control right at the top of the list. What could such a "thing" be called?..... How about God?

That has to be a criminal threat.

Having a good cry about being bullied online... after his little zombies post rape and death threats to anyone who looks at him sideways.



Straighten your shoulders and clean your room Jordy.

 

[Gough]

He wasn't damaged by the mob going after him, he was busted in the first place.

The existence of this man has really upset you. Daddy issues?

 

[ShanDog]

Jesus.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Lol, men aren't supposed to cry!!!! What a girl.

 

[Snake_Baker]

He got shunted in to a sideshow that was not of his own doing.

Of course, the left/right welded on types would never know the difference, because nothing exists outside of the bubble..

 

[blackcat]

primary motive, a request from Chief who I will respond to as #cherf for the purposes of this thread.

So Peterson runs highly choreographed and scripted YouTube content channel.

Two episodes he had tears talking about a serious close friend who took his life by suicide (which would be emotional content, bear with me)... but one of the YouTube content pieces e opens letter from an envelope on his selfie webcam, then proceeds to tear up. nb. i was not buying it. He had to prerecord or record and publish. I believe the content and words of the letter, were already read, if JP did not outright fabricate this concoction. So it was not a letter but a trope.

I marked down in my private repository both these web log episodes from the Jussie Smollet alliterationz[sic] school of scripted storytelling.

Problem w very smart guys, add intelligence to manipulative mien, and you can run riot. More to the fools who fall for this smart sucker. And I have been able to put a fencing sabre thru most of these IDW individuals, just triangulating their speeches and interviews too, and gauge contradictions and hypocrisy, matt taibbi too. Douglas Murray the last to disappoint me with what I suspect was a confected anecdote for exposition or to explicate a principle***

How was that cherf ?

I'm waiting for him to put out the begging bowl for his wife's cancer treatment.
