I absolutely cannot picture him telling a joke.

"Two men walk into a bar. And the bar, the bar represents chaos, because there is little social cohesion due to the consumption of alcohol breaking down the natural social contract that we all follow. And yet there is also great order, as we see the biggest and strongest men easily taking the most resources in the form of the destructive females. Furthermore-"

Jordan Peterson sexually assaulted so many of his student women that he was barred by the college from having office hours with his door closed.

He just lectured at the women about modesty and the necessity of preserving heterosexuality or something, iirc.

Jordan Peterson emerges from a small tube that was accelerated through your window via a T-shirt cannon, "Sorry," he says as he emerges from the tube amongst the shattered remains of your window, "but this was the only way I could circumvent the sexual assault restrictions imposed upon me to tell you that you will die if you let the Jews score better than you on the SATs."

I got hold of a copy of 12 Rules and read the Clean Your Room chapter and the only thing it taught me was that Jordan Peterson has never had a good time in his life. Specifically, he asserts that happiness doesn't actually exist, but it's sorta satisfying to impose structure on your life. He doesn't bother arguing the former, considering it obvious that misery is a universal human condition, and loosely ties the latter to a bunch of random bible quotes in which some kings rise and fall based on how much control they exert over their subjects. It's a big meandering mess that has clearly never seen an editor. It made me very curious about the "Be Precise in Your Speech" chapter, but by the third paragraph that had yet to make a point, I knew I had read enough.

I know armchair analysis is frowned upon, but the man very obviously has a crippling case of anhedonia and decided to become a spokesnazi because exerting power over others (women in particular) is the only thing that makes him feel human.

Armchair analysis is actually totally fine imho. There's a certain arrogance and hypocrisy in precluding anyone except other "academics" from critiquing your material if your entire M.O is to reach a vast public audience.

While I disagree with laypeople arguing against, say, epidemiologists; this is a man whos engaging the public to spread his very personalized ideas about his preferred models for social order. Everyone gets a say in that, especially if the guy seems a little off. You shouldnt need to possess an esoteric PhD to say, "Yeah there's something fundamentally wrong with this dude and I don't like his ideas." Thats just the worst kind of gatekeeping.

people like jorp or trump are living nigerian prince scams, the grift is so obvious and the personal flaws so present that the only people who can sincerely become fans of these broken baby men are themselves broken baby men. like you have to have severe interpersonal, emotional, or intellectual deficiencies in the first place to not immediately spot jorp as a con artist. but there's always plenty of fools running around out there looking for a more famous fool to tell them how to act

I remember reading about Jordan Peterson’s experimental treatment months ago and thinking “how does this guy with a PhD have less common sense than i do?”

I’ve been through severe klonopin withdrawal in the past year and I can honestly say that while it was terrible, I doubt that having been put into a coma would have improved the situation.

If you like J.P. you are definitely un-hip. If you subscribe to ideas like "dominance hierarchies" you are not only un-cool, but also a stupid misanthropic piece of poo poo.

JP supporters all sound EXACTLY like the PUAs of the early 2000s, has anyone noticed that? Its all the boys who got picked last putting on striped shirts and lecturing you about "game" like its some big secret.

I read the entire thread and I was pretty mesmerized (as one is as mesmerized by a car crash, holy poo poo piss) and its pretty irrefutable that if the man isn't a total racist, homophobe (and he is), etc that he's a complete nutcase.

Looking at the people who are his fans... I'd say they have a butt load of problems and are looking for a scapegoat.

With that said I think it's telling there's some people who have fallen through the cracks in our lovely society and need this dumbass. Remove the need for the dumbass and we'll all be better off.

It’s fascinating that it’s a guy like Jorp who’s espousing all this midcentury dominance grandpa masculinity, given that he’s a hugely uncharismatic dork who would absolutely have been beaten up every day and had sand kicked in his face if he were a kid in the 50s instead of in the 70s. I don’t see how he can be a credible voice on masculinity given how big of a failure he is at it.

Three genuine questions for you:

-I assume "don't clean your rooms" and "do drugs" are meant to be slams on us, and also that you feel we are being unfairly derisive towards Jordan B. Peterson. Yet he has never actually cleaned his own room and has been on medical leave for like a year due to his drug addiction. Are not cleaning your room and spending your days getting high a thing reasons for which one should be mocked or are they not?

-What exactly is a "low pleasure" and what contrasts it? Should one strive for high pleasure instead, or is pleasure in any form a false opiate?

-Would you care to elaborate on this "dominance hierarchy" of yours? Where do you place compared to the average goon? Where does someone like Jordan Peterson place, and has his recent misadventure affected his ranking?
