It sounds like you need to read him. Or better yet, read Nietzsche, since Jung learned a good deal from him. The Jungian interpretation of the psyche is quite different from the Freudian.

The "mystics" and "sages" have always known the fluid nature of things. Read the Tao Te Ching, it's basically the introduction to mystical thought. "Do you believe in God?" is a loaded question. Jung was closer to being a mystic than a scientist, and treated psychological effectors as symbols, otherwise he would not have laid out ideas like the archetypes or the anima / animus.

The latter is an idiot. The Jung/Nietzsche "thing" stems from Jung's known reading of Nietzsche, and while Jung didn't have half the mind that Nietzsche did, he did to some extent inherit Nietzsche's understanding of truth, which is far more akin to a Greek sage than an Enlightenment thinker. If you don't know what that means then I suggest you read some more.

This is all ignoring the fact that your idea of proof at all is anonymous comments on the internet the majority of which are either malicious or humorous or both.

If nothing else Peterson is shown to be a worthwhile figure in today's time because people have forgotten how to reason and argue and debate. He takes that seriously, and confronts all this fallacious noise that is now so dominant, at the very least he's a force for good in that respect.

>not saying this from your experience
Wrong. I've been studying philosophy for about 10 years now, stemming from my father's interest in it who had an entire library, some Jung in it. Peterson's had absolutely fuck all to do with my interests, and I don't take him to be anything more than a pop psychologist, though he is a *bit* more with it than some others and I personally attribute his depression to that (suffering can be a catalyst for deeper thinking). All you have to do is look up "Jung on Nietzsche" and you will find some sources where Jung directly engages with Nietzsche.

>If you haven't read Jung beyond some quotes, how do you know?
I have, and I've also read Nietzsche more extensively than him. Not only Jung but almost no other philosopher (Jung is not a philosopher) reaches Nietzsche's caliber. But I have nothing to prove to you as you've given me no reason to respect you any higher than a troll.

>Not touching that pile of shit.
Good, you wouldn't know where to start with it since you have no clue what I'm really talking about. I'm just shooting the breeze here, it's an anonymous image board. I am using caricatures of thought for the sake of brief discussion. But it is fairly accurate. For we know how acquainted Nietzsche was to the mentality of the sage:

>At the bottom of Christianity there are several subtleties that belong to the Orient. In the first place, it knows that it is of very little consequence whether a thing be true or not, so long as it is believed to be true. Truth and faith: here we have two wholly distinct worlds of ideas, almost two diametrically opposite worlds—the road to the one and the road to the other lie miles apart. To understand that fact thoroughly—this is almost enough, in the Orient, to make one a sage. The Brahmins knew it, Plato knew it, every student of the esoteric knows it.

>Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same House of Being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.

Again what is the connection here? What does not be something mean?
You say its sjw's. He says these Sjw's pretend to have an identity. What does this mean? It can't mean they're children because they are on a career path. Do their careers not count just because Jordan Peterson doesn't like them?

I actually broke-down and listened to a podcast of him for the first time, because I thought perhaps my views of him were false and I should give him a chance. It only confirmed my views; he really his a sham with very little understanding of postmodernism (even ironically formulating views that could be considered postmodernist) or any form of organized ideology, let alone the very laws in which he is criticizing. Some of his points are reasonable, but only to the extent that the average joe had reasonable points. Saying that anything that advances a conception of gender beyond the 1920s is some sinister agenda by "post-modernist neo-marxists" is unsubstantiated and downright silly for anyone but mouth breathers. He even gets the position of his SJW boogeymen wrong constantly, like when he says it is illegal to say gender is impacted by biology; modern theory says biology and sex have a lot of impact in gender, but societal considerations also constructed it, which I think is fairly reasonable compared to Peterson's vague definition of truth and hackneyed understanding of biology. I think everyone but the slim few agree with him that it can be taken too far, but when he tries to formulate why or where the line should be drawn he reveals his absolute ignorance on every topic he touches.
He strikes me as a dull, slightly narcissistic normie on whom basement dwellers have latched onto mistaking him for some profound thinker.

>Nietzsche says himself that he builds off Hume and thinks the Greeks were a misstep
This does not negate what I said and meant, it just means you didn't understand what I meant. But you've irritated me enough to have to respond again.

I liken Nietzsche to a Greek sage over an Enlightenment thinker due to his treatment of truth — he is not exactly a sage either, hence why I said "more akin to." But his grappling with matters of truth, his will to power, world as mirror and eternal recurrence rely on his insight from being exposed to and living on the precipice of Dionysian madness, and which place him distinctly away from the Enlightenment thinkers (even if he expands on Hume, preferring him over Kant, and refers to him at times).

Am I saying he was a complete madman who didn't properly read anything? No, but I am saying he SOLVED the problems of truth that the Enlightenment thinkers were struggling with. He went beyond them.

>Will to truth is a making firm, a making true and durable, an abolition of the false character of things, a reinterpretation of it into beings. "Truth" is therefore not something there, that might be found or discovered— but something that must be created and that gives a name to a process, or rather to a will to overcome that has in itself no end— introducing truth, as a processus in infinitum, an active determining— not a becoming conscious of something that is in itself firm and determined. It is a word for the "will to power."

>Qualities are insurmountable barriers for us; we cannot help feeling that mere quantitative differences are something fundamentally distinct from quantity, namely that they are qualities which can no longer be reduced to one another. But everything for which the word "knowledge" makes any sense refers to the domain of reckoning, weighing, measuring, to the domain of quantity; while, on the other hand, all our sensations of value (i.e., simply our sensations) adhere precisely to qualities, i.e., to our perspective "truths" which belong to us alone and can by no means be "known"! It is obvious that every creature different from us senses different qualities and consequently lives in a different world from that in which we live. Qualities are an idiosyncrasy peculiar to man; to demand that our human interpretations and values should be universal and perhaps constitutive values is one of the hereditary madnesses of human pride.

Do you know what he meant by "God"? Saying that doesn't mean Peterson's understanding of God is different, or not inspired by Jung.

I don't see what Peterson said as a word game. It's more like he just wasn't good at articulating himself there. I would know, because I've answered similarly to the question in the past. It's a kind of pussyfooting around the question, but with good intention, because he is attempting to expose and adhere to the unlimited interpretations that all symbols have. The error is in thinking we can actually adhere to such.

1. Postmodernism, or the strain of which Peterson argues against, seeks to de-individualise any person that comes in contact with it through an idealogical bias of either progress for the sake of it, or undermining current institutions in a very reckless manner, in other words, it creates a hive-mind out of people and cultish brooding groups who have an elitist arrogance.
2. We humans aren't perfect and shouldn't be treated in a manner that will force us towards it prematurely, something neo-marxists do often Is that they critique the current society, but go far and wide so as to say what their utopian society looks like and how we can achieve it. Hell even early Marx said any localised event at any kind of revolution would end up in a disaster (The German Idealogy, First chapter). The neo-marxists type (note, not a single person, but a hive-mind collective) are ideologically biased. Peterson is a postmodernist himself, but he isn't reckless and actually values the struggle people went through to set up current institutions, slow and steady, a meta modernist.

>1. Postmodernism, or the strain of which Peterson argues against
I have never seen him fully define what he considers postmodernism, and his understanding of post-modernists is laughable (see his grasp of Foucault). If he truly is concerned with ideological bias, then he is a hypocrite in define an ideology that is dependent on its opposition. It is an irony neither him or his fanboys can see. He should accurately read post-modernist literature and see how many authors are overtly value the individual. The institutions that he sees are being destroyed are under no threat whatsoever, and serving them ironically de-values the individual much more than his boogeymen.
2. This is a facet of ideology, not one ideology. It is always Utopian in nature, identifying some element that is a cause of the trauma of society and once excised, there will be a harmonious society. Peterson's ideology is "neo-marxists" and "post-modernists". Again, keep in mind that this is one element that post-modernists saw and sought against.

Because he has an overarching ideology and cult of personality that not only taints a fair introduction to both fields, but leads his follows to a fairly closed exploration. It would be much more productive to read materials first-hand, or find another non biased source.
>Peterson remains so prominent
Again, I say he is only prominent within his circle of followers on reddit and a certain board on this website, and I do not mean those sincerely. It is no insult, it is the truth.
at the end of the day I do not care if someone likes peterson or not, but if they stick to their own forums for discussion, instead of trying to meme him and having a million of shitty threads about him outside of their circles, that would be ideal. If people treat him as an introductory figure, there should be no discussion of him on a board for post-introductory literature, and there certainty shouldn't be people treating him as a true philosopher. It is shameful.

1. Same hogwash argument, also he said he doesn't have a problem with Foucault, primarily Derrida, and the irony you speak of is only present to those who don't know what they're talking about when it comes to Peterson and his take on Pomo. He is a consequentialist for he doesn't like illegitimate and reckless speculations derived from post modernist literature. I already said it's a hive mind and Peterson is strongly against it. He opposes it for what it produced, a plethora of irresponsible and immature adults. Watch his videos more in order to understand where he is coming from.

This is exactly what I am talking about. He identifies a problem, a trauma in society that once solved will lead to a successful or idealized society. Think of the post-modernist as the Communist of the mccarthy era. It is a part of his ideology. If you truly believe human beings did not act this way prior to the postmodern you should read The Clouds.

Nietzsche brought the subject-object dilemma to its end conclusion after having discarded the thing-in-itself. The end result was affirmation of all things — a sentiment not unlike the Vedas which Nietzsche regarded as a precursor of sorts. Nietzsche distances himself from the Enlightenment quite fervently in the preface and part 1 of BGE, and if you had read Will to Power you would see very clearly in what direction that took him and how he does not share the Enlightenment's notion of truth.

>You keep changing your footing and conclusions
I never changed them. You can't follow.

>You're babbling incorrectly about Nietzsche instead of enlightening /lit/ about Jung
I've read Nietzsche more so I'm inclined to discuss him more, and until you explain how Nietzsche's notion of truth resembles the Enlightenment thinkers' then your statement is hollow. I don't rescind my original statement though. Whether Peterson has actually grasped the material and is just putting on a show is debatable, but whether he has read a lot of it is not. And there is more than enough about Jung to derive the conclusion that God is a psychological experience.
