I heard peterson was gonna see stephen king's it but he kept telling the ticket office he wanted to see "him" and they didn't understand what film he was looking for

what the fuck

I know this is an epic meme, but what is the point of gendering anyone or anything? It always seems like a fallacious thing to do: assigning gender qualities to things. All German philosophy, with its gendered words, is fucked

>>10221617
If you don't understand the massive biological(mental, physical, resulting social) differences you are still a little child.

There is a massive difference between fucking someone and being fucked by someone.

If you don't believe in God you don't know anything. You have no insight or wisdom. Your opinion on everything is worthless. You are not a source of moral authority or instruction. If I find out someone is an atheist I immediately and completely write off everything they have ever said or ever could say. Belief in God is square one for knowledge. If you don't even have that you have nothing to offer anyone. You don't know how to live.

>>10221628
Gender and biological sex are two different things you inbred troglodyte.

Peterson is all about advocating a "satisfying existence" for the average and above average man. Not average in terms of intelligence, but in terms of aims.

There's people out there who will get nothing of value for themselves out of his advice, because their path is a crooked path. Very creative people cannot handle that sort of gig and they indeed have to become the dragon.

At least Joseph Campbell was aware of this. But Peterson's all about the right hand path.

Wow you have completly exploded any categories anyone has ever tried to set for you. You are truly a free spirit, strong and independent. So quirky and wonderful. Thank you for sharing your light with us, the light that is you.

I'm glad some people like this exist. It reminds me irrationalism is still current.

oh, the faggotry on this site.
the only reason humanity ever into deities and morals/ethics, especially moral absolutism, was to ensure the average majority would comply and not kill each other. most basic strategy to get people to do your bidding, make 'em think you're on their side, empower their side, and let 'em run beneath you while you "manage" from the top. cull as necessary, reap rewards until death, do it all again the next life.

Peterson doesn't believe in God either.

Watch out my dude, soon the people here will get fed up with the deist-contra-contrarians and shit like this will be conjured up as falseflags. Mark my oldfag words, the cycle keeps turning.

He did write some horror stories, they're found in his diaries. I remember one in particular where two kids (a boy and a girl) get tricked into entering a strange man's apartment and only the boy escapes

>>10222372
"No."

You're right, but you don't make a good argument for why

>>10221617
Fuck you
FUCK YOU

>>10222390
whoa so he genderswapped hansel and gretel, impressive

>>10221617
It's just a grammatical oddity. There are no qualities assigned to words in regard to how they are gendered. Stop being a brainlet

>>10222401
It's quite different, but I cant find it right now. It was one of the later diaries for sure, post-WW1

>>10222392
I'm not here to argue but to be entertained.

>>10221967
Darger had probably never seen a vagina

>>10222404
Yes there are qualities assigned to words but the system is too convoluted to be consistent, not race do they have anything to do with human male and female gender stereotypes.

>>10222421
Are you german? I am, and I absolutely and totally assure you that you overrate that particular feature of the german language (like most foreigners do)

>>10221683
So? lol go back to your shit 9-5 and masturbate to hentai you fucking nerd.

>>10221432
this is a beaverton article

>>10222423
No I don't overrate it. I just said that it exists.

>>10222604
It makes literally no difference for philosophy that a term has grammatical gender

>>10221425
In English, the masculine (man, him, he, his, etc) is also a neutered gender when talking about genderless objects and concepts. It's just a convention of the language that doesn't imply anything, despite what a subset of butthurt feminists might tell you.

>>10222610
subconsciously it might

>>10222383
Stop posting.

>>10222622
Semantic priming. Philosophy, philosophia, sophia, "supposing truth be a woman"

>>10222828
Yes, but in the case of "philosophy" it's buried under several layers.

>>10222622
The concept of grammatical genders masculine feminine and neuter do not equate social gender. The term which references grammar predates the terms you are thinking of.

I don't know why the left-liberals chose transsexualism as their hill to die on.

post Clinton (Bill) liberals and conservatives couldnt find a substantive issue they disagreed on.

>>10224196
things like genders or race suddenly become irrelevant when you alter your own genes on the fly, the left will win simply because queer friendly folk are better prepared for transhumanism while conservatives become the next Amish in regards to body modification, disembodied consciousness, and neural linking

>>10221432
It is female. It laid eggs and shit.

>>10221420
>that is absolutely nothing to you
That would only tell me your position; voluntary opposition to it.

>>10221871
You only believe that because the "people" in power aim at destroying the current situation for one reason or another. Rootless, ahistorical people are easier to manipulate with markets. Feminism is mostly due to women spending 80-85% of first world capital; consumerism. There is also an element of labor capital with around half the population not working. We shall ignore the revolution glorification myth in the west for now.
Women being closer to the average on Bell curve makes them far more vulnerable to statistical analysis and structures founded on it. Atheism makes sure the schooling and media are your only guides in this world, so you want what is profitable to want. Atheism prevents grouping up on large scale. Ideologies proved simpler than any religion, and far more limited without the rich multi-generational tradition that religion and ethnic identities have in most places in the world (aside from North America, really).

We can't discuss anything with its real names, because one of us gets syntax error. Religion is language of thought. There is a Christian root to our thinking, but industrial evolution has shattered modernity from life.

>tfw there are so many Peterson shilling threads that I forgot which one I posted in and I want to check if my post got Yous but literally can't find my post because there are so many Peterson threads and I'm not even sure whether or not the thread it was in was deleted or not.

DUDE WEED LMAO

>>10224819
Supposedly the vape had no weed. But he also joked about it having weed before he said it had no weed. *x-files music plays*

Peterson has >6000 patrons, last I saw before it went private, he was making something like $50,000 a month from it

that's well over HALF A MILLION A YEAR

Peterson is (((cucked)))

Right I understand the arrogance that can come from being part of the niche of Creative individuals but I am 20 in Uni and want to try my hand at the creative path as I feel openness is my dominant trait. How do I go about setting an aim/goal when my aspirations lack the structure of a typical career plan? Seriously looking for advice here /lit/ as I'm 20 and feel this I am in my shining years of opportunity.

I skipped through the podcast. At some point it seemed like he was just shilling his online self help courses or something, did i misunderstand?

I want to see a crime miniseries starring the man in your picture

>>10225905
Getting sent to some sort of tolerance camp is not an irrational fear in Canada

>>10228119
Create. Just make shit. Try everything and anything. Don't judge yourself too hard for your failures. Just go hogwild and spray your creative hose all over life. Life's a bitch. Stay in school and try to get a decent job. Don't plan on making money off your art. Do it for love. For passion. If you truly love. And are truly creative. You will make money but not in the ways you originally expected.

-t.artist

>>10228616
it's an irrational fear if you can avoid that fate by just sucking up and using pronouns instead of being a flamboyant pussy about it

>>10221617
Think about it this way, it could be "fucked" that english doesn't have gendered words.

>>10227139
desu I lost some respect for Peterson when his research funding was denied and he asked for fans to help pay for it.
nigger you're making a gorillion from your patreon alone, fund it yourself. iirc they only needed to raise like 10k. baka

>>10228876
In his defense, he didn't. Rebel Media set that entire thing up

>>10221683
YEP AND THIS IS WHY EINSTEIN WAS IDIOT!!!!! HE WAS STUPID ATHIEST AND SO HE WAS STUPID IDIOT!!!!! LOL STUPID GRAVITY THEORY U KNOW NOTHING U IDIIOT
