Thoughts on Dr.Jordan Peterson as of late?

Garbage.



But I'm a SJW beta-cuck commulist so fuck me right ?

 

Good use more philosophy with his political stuff imo (his twitter is embarrassing sometimes). His psychology is spot on, however. Especially the old lectures, before he was famous

 

There's a good critique at psychologytoday entitled jordan petersons flimsy philosophy life

 

Personally i think he is great

 

From reading his latest book and listening to a few podcasts I think he's a good self-help guru with interesting things to say about Jung and the Bible (like a Western-focused Alan Watts).

When it comes to politics I'm ambivalent. I roll my eyes at the constant references to 'postmodern neo-Marxism' in the same way as when someone mentions 'cisheteropatriarchy' all the time. He is more knowledgeable than most people on a range of subjects but he's best when he sticks to his area of expertise.

I also think he is sincere when he says he wants to save people from the far-right, yet he seems to use a carrot on those tempted by the alt-right while using a stick on the SJWs.

 

i find him alluring from a psychology point of view, but the other stuff re policitcs, doesnt work or fit him

 

I enjoy his talks, just bought his book too. Anyone that puts the Frankfurt school Neo Marxist filth in their place is a good person IMO. They have infected our Universities for too long, it's going to come to an end. libertarian/conservatism is the new punk rock.

 

You guys love playing the victim card, right ?

No sane human being would buy that "Frankfurt school Neo Marxist" rubbish.
It's a conspiracy. Nothing more. Nothing less.

And obviously it seems you can't think for yourself.

Converatism being the new punk rock is almost exactly what Paul Joseph Watson said, the soy pill salesmen that doesn't like to do his research right.

Overdosing on red pills seems like a great idea, sign me up. Hope there's no soy in them though.

 

I only know him that he mentioned in an article on the rise of a new form of new atheism.

 

I never voted for Merkel and never will.
Glad you already know so much about me.

 

I think Peterson is a culturally conservative member of a new trend in politics which is basically liberalism with a backbone, individualism vs left and right identity politics, and evolutionary biology vs social construction. I don't think his politics and economics are that different from what we have today but obviously he thinks our culture is rotten.

 

On the whole Marxist Frankfurt school conspiracy thing

There is currently friction between the hard sciences and the soft sciences going on, which is incredibly dangerous. Freedom of speech in science is kind of the canary in the coal mine. It being threatened is a symptom of increasing polarisation in everyday politics, which is also very dangerous.

Both sides have science they like and science they don't like. Basically liking anything that supports their world view and hating anything that goes against it. If shutting down scientific study as being 'dangerous' for potentially having results that don't conform with your world view becomes the norm on the left it will also inevitably become the norm on the right as well.

This is a huge deal! Politics is becoming increasingly polarised and reducing this polarisation is important. When polarisation becomes too extreme bad things happen.

Preventing free scientific study will only increase polarisation further

 

Watched the whole of that Peter Coffin video. Got triggered.

His view on biology was so bad. His views so inspired by the soft sciences.

Its so scary and evidence of the conflict between the soft and the hard sciences.

There is no way this argument is going to end well

At this point they are effectively speaking in different languages so its just going to deteriorate into power games

 

When he talks about God and the Bible he sounds a bit like Rob Bell with even more vagueness. Sure is no evangelical!
