      Oh, absolutely. Apart from the hilarious irony that "be concise in your speech" is one of the points in his own self-help book.
      He is a public speaker. His job is to convey his ideas as accurately as possible to as many people as possible. If he cannot do that, he is either shit as his job or willfully manipulative.

    Me: Hey Jordan, you wanna order a pizza?
    Jordan: Well that's a really broad and open ended question that I can't just give a yes or no answer to. You see it really depends on how you're defining "pizza", are you talking exclusively flat bread pizza? Because by such implicit reductionism you're not factoring Chicago style. Furthermore perhaps we should broaden our horizons of what constitutes a "pizza" instead of oversimplifying such a complicated issue. For instance is tomato sauce a necessary component? Otherwise you could extrapolate cheesy bread as being part of the broader pizza meta analysis. Furthermore we should consider the moral ramifications of Meat Lover's pizza and how it contributes to the bourgeoius class's further exploitation of factory farming...

      This reminds me when I went to an art college I was relatively far removed from high school, so I scored low enough on placement I was admitted, but had to take a mandatory "Critical Thinking Class". Within the first few days my instructor was talking about how proper monsters, like werewolves, are ancient symbols that represent real dangers, like strange men, or STIs, informing us with visual stimuli to stay away from dangerous people or situations. So he went onto say that TV shows like True Blood or Being Human are "dangerous" because they lionize the monster. Identifying us with them by putting the audience into their shoes. One of the most insidious examples being a fight against the urge to engage with literal "bloodlust".
      I asked him if he didn't think making the audience the monster wasn't to acknowledge our human faults and get us to think about our own worst impulses, the dangers of acting on them, and self control. After all there are no real monsters, right, it's just us.
      At first he didn't say anything, said he hadn't thought about it, and he'd have to think about it more, then handed out the assignment.
      He was my "critical thinking teacher" and he hadn't thought about it.

      Funnily enough that's the perfect description of a former mate of mine, who just so happened to be into Peterson.
      Kept saying "I know it sounds dumb when you see a clip of him saying X or Y, but if you see the full context you'll see it actually all makes sense! Just watch his actual videos and you'll get it"
      Of course it never did. Typical conservative dude who thinks people are intelligent and trustworthy based on their clothing, their confidence, and how needlessly academic their language is.
      Peterson is charmingly eccentric on top of that, which is a trope associated with intellectual genius, which obviously leads to these idiots taking him even more seriously.
      The former mate Used to always ramble about his economics classes, constantly using words that he knew I didn't know. I never understood anything and could only ever nod and say "sure, if you say so, I guess it must be true".
      Guess what? When later in life I got into politics, and encountered a bunch of the terminology he used to throw at me, I quickly found out that a lot of the stuff I remember him saying was flat out wrong or even gibberish.
      He'd always claimed that he never got his degree becaus the mathematics was too hard for him. Now it's pretty clear that he just didn't really understand much about economics in the first place, despite that being his big passion which he constantly read about even outside of school. (He was also big into day trading and cryptocurrency. Kept lying that he was making a shitton of money. Years later, he's working a 9 to 5 for some company :) Lmfao)
      That is so supremely sad, I almost feel bad for him, tbh.

    The most impressive thing Peterson has ever done, is the fact that he has to be debunked by so many different disciplines, because he talks about so much stuff he doesn't understand. From Biologist, to the Bar association of Canada, economics, fellow psychologists, philosophers, even supermodels are making fun of him. I'd di e of embrassement if I said even half the amount of things he has that were just so wrong and easily debunkable. Just the line about staying awake for 27 days due to Apple Cider would be too much on it's own. Yet for Peterson he just goes on, it's fascinating how one man can have such an undeserved ego and prefers to be ignorant on every topic he talks about, he is the defintion of Dunning Kruger.

By embedding the simple advice in a greater narrative about life and its meaning, you will have far greater success.

    I find that when when people hyperfixate on “how do you define X,” it’s usually because they don’t want to engage with the substance of what you’re actually talking about. Defining terms is important, but it should be about clarifying the issue and setting the groundwork for how you proceed. Peterson uses “definitions” as a means to obfuscate the issue and make himself sound smarter.

      Not really. As a kid I was raised on the motto: there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. The more insight I got into the world, the more I realized that this is not true. Some questions cannot be answered in a sensible manner, because all they do is reveal the level of ignorance of the actual problem. Since I see it popping up on the side, one of those questions is, for instance, that about the existence of God. Answering that with a simple yes or no just isn't possible. I learned a lot from the guy, and not in terms of self-help, but in terms of questioning my implicit assumptions about reality.

      Given the way you've phrased this it does need some qualification regarding exactly which god and whether you're asking about knowledge or belief, so that it does become something which it might be possible to answer with a simple yes or no. But unless you chose your phrasing to somewhat clumsily illustrate your point, this is trivial and obvious. You could have just cut the entire thing short and said, "There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. Sometimes you have to ask more questions before being able to provide a non-dumb answer." Of course the other point of view is that if you ask a question which you know will require qualification then it is in fact a dumb question and you may be guilty of trying to elicit a dumb answer, which would be dishonest and manipulative.

      Peterson gets absolutely nothing done. If there is a problem, he refuses to provide even speculation on solutions, but fixates on semantics and yes, literally singles out words like "you". Imagine having a superior like this at your workplace. Wouldn't you dread going into his office to report something? Would you always be uncertain of just what the frigid fuck he was going to respond with when you present him a report, or *gasp* your personal feelings on a subject? He's a incompetent leader, speaker and public figure.

    I honestly don't even believe he was a good psychologist. In the debate with Stephen Fry about the cruelty of god and his existence he went like "yeah, you might be right but it makes me uncomfortable so I'm rejecting it". One of the steps in (most forms of) therapy is facing issues that bother you so they can be resolved. You would think that psychologist with so long career would react differently in that situation.

    Well done...Petersons popularity is a complete mystery to me. The man is a master of misunderstanding ideas. His whole schtick is a kind of creepy public self analysis. What an absolute fool he is.

      I can solve the mystery: He tells people what they want to hear, and he has a PhD so when he does such, he's giving their preconceived notions a further veneer of legitimacy.

      Ah you're a man. Let me explain. It took us only a few decades to outnumber men in university entry upon it really opening up to us. There's a nice thick tail end in that male IQ curve he likes so much that you don't see w/women. Plus they're still told that they're little gods, especially the white ones so when they only partially fall upwards instead of instantly becoming John Hamm they get angry and shooty and they want someone to blame so Peterson comes along and tells them that tradition was right. Giving women zero options other than to be forced into marriage and PoC having zero rights would guarantee their rightful place at the top of the pyramid.

      His fanbase tend to be very receptive to emotions and performative deeds. Doesn't really matter what he says, as long as it looks like he's confident saying it and they love somebody who strikes back at whoever they consider as evil and oppressive. So anyone who looks like they are owning the libs, can do nothing wrong in their eyes.
      They are also are suckers for this guru, great leader, be stronger/better/smarter kind of vibe he has made into his trademark.
      They did some polling with guys like Shapiro and Peterson and asked people to rate how well they did in a debate, even when they did very poorly the people who tend to be fans of Peterson still thought Shapiro and Peterson dominated the debate. When asked about rating actual points they made, say a very well worded and concise point made by somebody like Hitchens and your usual word salad by Peterson, the fanbase would almost always rate Peterson much higher than others even if he didn't even make a point to begin with. They always said "I feel that Peterson is the better man."
      Shapiro understands this extremely well, as long as you sound confident and appeal to their emotions, you can sell them the dumbest idea.
      One step further and we're into cults.

      I've read 12 rules, Maps of Meaning and 12 more rules more than once, as well as a lot of his lectures and interviews. I truly admire JBP, even though I disagree with some of his recent stuff.
      As for Tate, I think he's one of the worst things that happened to humanity in a long long time.

    Yeah, Peterson is what we call in the business "domain hoppers", people who think that due to their relative expertize in one field (very specific field) gives them "generalized" knowledge and skills to know how everything else works. Now they do typically know they merely know "the general jist" of things, but it still ends up them just "hopping in", trying to use their domain expertize and mindset in somewhere completely different and then hopping back out when they run out of "similarities" to explore.

    I kinda fell into Jordan Peterson some years ago when I was getting sober. And I'll admit that I did take some positives from him - regarding things like holding yourself accountable and the whole 'clean up your room' message. it didn't take long to start seeing through it all though. The anger, pettiness, narcissism; the way he obfuscates arguments with complicated words and theories that sound good on the surface but contain no real value and considers himself qualified on just about everything when he clearly isn't - all just got too much for me. Long after ditching him, the thing that has always stood out the most is the way he basically put himself into a coma to "recover" from his addiction to benzodiazepines. I just see him as a giant hypocrite now. Successfully beating addiction is about addressing the underlying issues - and this is the hardest part and why so many people end up going back to whatever they were addicted to. The brilliantly self-aware Peterson couldn't do that however, because he would have had to really look at himself and probably hear some home truths that he might not have liked. The man is just an insecure, rich right wing grifter. And I don't believe for a second that he's not still taking pills.

    1:36 two things do keep in mind 12 rules for life is a totally bog standard self help book, there is nothing unique about it and unfortunately even in Pyschology is not considered good by fellow Pyschologists, the reviews from academics on Maps Of Meaning show that and the person who gey him the job at Toronto University said he sat in one of his lectures and was horrified as peterson would wildly speculate and did not provide a good coverage of the topic. This was the views of his students before he became a famous professor.

      It is also seldom mentioned but should be that his origin story and claim to fame was just a lie. U of T never sent out a memo regarding trans students and pronouns. He was never threatened with termination for refusing to abide by it since it didn't exist. He quit U of T once he was getting obscenely wealthy from his online grift of being the official guru, academic, philosopher and wise man of the right wing movement, or as i call it, the "sh*thead movement." He hinted to his following of chronic masturbators that a right wing gov't would lead to legalized rape and even being assigned a mate by the gov't along with "enforced monogamy." If they were to legalize rape I suppose they'd need to lower the age of consent, since most of these alt. right "alpha males" couldn't overpower an 18-year-old woman--they would come home from their conquest nothing but an incel virgin with a black eye.
