He's basically all of the worst aspects of Zizek and Peterson.

>It is driven by a priest’s desire to excommunicate and condemn,
wasn't this always a key feature of leftist politics?

What is your opinion on twitter "intellectuals" that go on vague 30-post sprees trying to share their "wisdom" with their enlightened twitter flock?

it was fun to see Peterson cucked by le autistic godless man desu, not that i was able to hear to more than 5 minutes of that podcast, but just the concept of being pushed around for 2 hours for your poorly thought conception of truth kind of amuses me

Peterson is not that smart and all his arguments amount to grandstanding, so if you deny the grandstanding bits everything else just deflates very fast

Most of his critics have the issue that they try to grandstand back at him with "tolerance" or some poorly thought liberal memes, which is a mistake and you can't defeat him in that field after the guy basically spent 30 years grandstanding at 20yo retarded kids

why tho?

think about it. rogan/harris/peterson are all have some kind of overlapping signal. New Atheism &c peaked a decade ago after 9/11. radical islam was making everybody nervous, so guys like Maher/Hitchens/Harris/Dawkins/Dennett et al basically just said, well, the problem is religion in general.

since then the winds have shifted somewhat. and then there's all things Trump on top of it. because clearly, yes, religious weirdness remains a thing but the situation is now more complicated in the age of the ctrl-left, which in turn spawns trump hats and in return the trump hats spawn more hysteria on the other side.

harris is right to identify the death spiral. he thinks a lot more about islam than rogan or peterson do (and maybe even land). harris is the guy who identifies the death-vortex between red team/blue team/islam team. maher has commented on it as well. liberalism in 2017 isn't the same as it was in 2004.

i know, the whole idea of the Four Horsemen/the Brights/&c is silly. dawkins is a smug bastard but he was who he was back then. dennett is still a legit philosopher & hitchens was cool. everybody misses him. i do, anyways.

but there's definitely some kind of interesting bro-vibe going on w/rogan/harris/j-pete. the harris/j-pete interviews were weird, but they hashed it all out in the second one. and again, land tweets rogan videos, he tweets peterson videos also. between harris and land there isn't much overlap, but they both would know *something* was deeply rotten in the state of denmark w/r/t liberalism...and i guess you have bill maher out there somewhere as well.

just interesting stuff. achieving Max Irony somewhere in the past couple of years or in the last decade spawned the redpill and now interesting peeps all over are echolocating for pattern recognition.

so okay. Four Horsemen is a wicked fuckface meme. but the 'stoner right' is interesting af. that's all.

>what are the correlations between him and Nick?
As pic related suggests Land thinks Peterson is pretty keen. No idea on whether or not Peterson knows that Land exists. Presumably they would both have similar perspectives on how turning the world into a playground for capitalism works out in the end for human beings.

To me they're the two of the most interesting living thinkers on the planet.

Now that /lit/'s resident philosopher Nick Land has officially endorsed Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, is it time to drop the Marx and Wittgenstein threads and discuss some REAL intellectuals?
