Freud's good but Jung is better.

Wagwan my slime. Damn this shit is actually bussin bussin no damn cap. Like ahlie senpai all the waste commie tings breeze. Bare manz repping JBP, cuz he be reppin the 6ix. I was cheezed but then I read this BOK, and now I'm mossin. Wagwan to all my JBP yutes out there, those cuzos boolin. Those marxists aint lit, those sussy bakas be wilin', mans be looking like poggers, that just aint it, they aint it, no lie?

Why do both sides hate him?

What doesn't he understand about Neo-Marxism/Postmodernism?

When asked about western civilization:
>If you ask ten different people what "Western Civilization" is you'll get ten different answers. I think that once the west moved away from having an economy of social relations, and started worshiping abstractions like the nation state, everything went to shit. The jewels of western civilization, liberty, free thought, cosmopolitanism, etc. were all birthed by the kind of liberal freethinkers that were fostered by a strongly individualistic aristocracy and strong religious institutions providing a moral structure people could transgress against.
>Once these liberal aristocrats actually put their theories put into action, through the creation of nation states, universities, volk culture, and so on, these theoretical apparatuses quickly absorbed or destroyed everything outside it and created a base and monolithic culture of thought and feeling that we see today.
>They might get held up as the founders, but there is no way that modern culture today could produce another Rousseau, Casanova, Tocqueville, Goethe, or Bonaparte. Gone are the days of aristocratic adventurers and solitary genius, now we live in the times of highly specialized university careerists and machine technical capitalism.
>Can you imagine Rousseau trying to publish today? He would be yet another weirdo with a blog and radical political views. Publishers and intelligentsia wouldn't touch him, if for no other reason than that he lacks formal qualifications. Likewise he would be shut out of the job market, for lack of qualifications and weird opinions. It's likely that most people would do everything they could to distance themselves from his ideas, which are 'weird', 'creepy', or simply un-American. Rather than finding refuge in a monastic order as an errant youth, he would be pushed through a bureaucratic group home or foster care. Probably his brilliance would leave him just another fentynal user dying on the side of the road.
Does JP have a point here or is he just being a blue-pilled boomer? Was Western Civilization a mistake?

why don't you just better yourself anon

>i am an atheist, so i am not as sure as other atheists what exactly is going on, and i'm also not as convinced by it that it isn't a coincidence, and i think it's a mistake to focus on that part of his argument.
>For me the issue of God's existence is something i can understand from an objective point of view, but i'm not an objective scientist. For me the issue is not that scientific evidence supports God, i'm just not sure that that's enough to persuade me, and i don't see any other way to get there. If you can convince me of the existence of God with science, or logic or other evidence, I'm all for that, and i'll take it.
>But my issue is not just with religion, but with science and philosophy as a whole.
What in the fuck did he mean by this?

>Nick Land is the only legitimate modern philosopher
Even more legitimate than the profound JBP?

Anon, this is based though.

>"Up yours, Daddy-O—that was his philosophy"

>Based Thomist: Mr Hume, you say this because you believe 'ahem' "that all true propositions concern either matters of fact or relations of ideas"..... but tell me! is that statement itself a matter of fact or a relation of ideas?

>Hume: ......NANII?!?!?!!

I posted the original Peterson thread: I thought /lit/ would be a little sad about what happened to him, because it sounded like his life right now is pretty terrible, with his wife almost dying and him in rehab. I didn't expect all the hate from it. sorry guys.

Turns out Peterson is currently in rehab, following withdrawal symptoms of antidepressants. It sounds like he was suicidal for a bit.

I know /lit/ doesn't like him, but it makes me sad.

I can't believe he commited suicide after debating Zizek

How do we stop the truth denying, anti-science, obscurantist postmodern neomarxist s from destroying the West and poisoning our youth in academia? They are the type of retards that assert that gender is a social construct, that there is no human nature, that there is no such thing as progress and morality. How can someone be so stupid to spout such nonsense?

Is there a human nature? Do humans exist in hierarchies and is it in our nature? Is capitalism indeed the best econonic system we got and are we at the end of history? Discuss.
