Great suffering sometimes produces great art. Do you think that having his wife die of cancer, getting addicted to benzos and being locked up in rehab will make his next book /lit/?

I hope so. I don't even dislike the guy, but now that you put it that way, he really is living a /lit/ life. He needs to be ostracized and he might bring some nice books.

Impressionist painting is not "great art"

suffering is to be regarded seriously

It’s possible, I think the guy forgot his philosophy is about self-understanding and started seeking answers through politics, which is why he started slipping up and saying politically-oriented silly stuff. He’s been through a lot in the past few years and needs something that’s going to force him into self reflection again. Something that forces him to seriously consider and read Marx and approach eastern religions seriously — basically, the stuff he attacks but avoids

This guy if the extra-slim fit cornflower blue windowpane check suit with toffee brown shoes of intellectuals: popular with semi-educated Chad's for about 3 years, but when we look back on this era in twenty years it will be hopelessly dated folly.

If he overcomes his suffering, yes.

Why yes, I read Jordan Peterson in airport lounges. How can you tell?

Nope, IQ is guaranteed to be cut down a lot after that
