    Peterson sounds more marxist than Zizek

    Peterson is an academic Puritan whose pearl-clutching over collectivist identity association is as misguided and dogmatic as those postmodernists he so desperately disavows. His worldview is cluttered with the bones of dead gods and false idols. His theological theses are schizophrenic as a result of his unhealthy obsession with psychoanalysis, to the point that he becomes a doctrinaire, and paints Christianity as some pseudocult of the Enlightenment.

    In addition, his "12 Rules" are skin-deep, as if his fascination of authoritarian police states could inspire in him the cures to the profound problems that man endures daily; he no more has an insight in to how people should live their lives than he has into how he should style his beard.

    Peterson has absolutely nothing to offer in the intellectual arena of today. Plus, he's a deceptive subversive, perfectly content to undermine the youth of Western Civilization so long as he can make a quick buck:

  4. Interesting post. Personally, I watch his videos because of the advice he provides for young men such as his advice for people who want to quit porn.

    The other stuff Peterson talks about I either don't agree with or it's just too much to try and understand or doesn't change anything.

    I gather he's a trained psychologist and former lecturer so I can see why he loves talking and knows how he wants to respond to every question thrown at him. I can also see he is some sort of celebrity 'guru' speaker who knows how to generate lots of money just by repeating what he says in as many countries as possible.

    The 12 rules thing is questionable and not exactly groundbreaking.

    But like I say I can take positives from what he says or reminders we all kind of already know on how to become a better man.

    Other than that, just an attention seeking money maker like the rest of them. Hardly any effort goes into what they say because they open their mouth and it's all on autopilot for hours.

  6. Zizek sounds lile he has the largest amount of mucus and spit just sitting in his mouth as he's trying to talk
