/lit/ - Literature

Reminder to ignore all pseudointellectial rhetoriticians and petit bougeois bugmen who have no taste for aesthetics and read theory instead.

When I read this by him in Maps of Meaning:
"I dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool, that was also a river. In real life, she had been a victim of Alzheimer’s disease, and had regressed, before her death, to a semi-conscious state. In the dream, as well, she had lost her capacity for self-control. Her genital region was exposed, dimly; it had the appearance of a thick mat of hair. She was stroking herself, absent-mindedly. She walked over to me, with a handful of pubic hair, compacted into something resembling a large artist’s paint-brush. She pushed this at my face. I raised my arm, several times, to deflect her hand; finally, unwilling to hurt her, or interfere with her any farther, I let her have her way. She stroked my face with the brush, gently, and said, like a child, “isn’t it soft?” I looked at her ruined face and said, “yes, Grandma, it’s soft."

JP got big, people liked the new big thing. Especially because of the controversy. People began dissecting / looking deeper into new big thing. People analyize new big thing. Groups / movements that didn't like new big thing to begin with begin to solidify their opinions with examples. People who were once enamored with the new big thing become bored of said thing. Begin to poke fun at those still enamored with the new big thing.
New big thing's charisma beings to ween. People all over in the public sphere of influence grow tired of new big thing. New big thing is no longer new, it's old news, it's old and tired. Now it's annoying. Big thing go away. Not welcomed here. We have newer, bigger, things.
New big thing fades into relative obscurity. Becomes kind of a joke. Niche groups of fans still like new big thing, but still actively look for the newer bigger things inspired by new big thing.

Eventually. The newest people don't even know new big thing. New big thing essentially continuously gets rediscovered over and over again.

He seemed solid to me at first but once he was well established he didn't face criticism very well - with his low point being unable to address the Holodomor question. Otheranon pretty squarely expressed my view of his timeline except for failing to illustrate JBP's Achilles heel that was always present, waiting to get pricked.

/Lit/ prefers it when their unnecessarily labyrinthine works of comparative religion and mythology to lead them to strange and esoteric conclusions, not boomer conservatism.

I actually feel deeply bad for Jordan Peterson. Despite his idiosyncratic faults and weaker rationale I always got this vibe that he was, at his core, a deeply caring and kind man. I don't want to imply that his popularity did him more harm than good because I'm sure he's making more money now than ever but I can't imagine the affects going from a basically nobody college professor to champion of several online movements and a influential public figure practically over the span of a year or two must be monstrous.

He seems to be struggling a bit right now. The rehab thing and all. Also his wife's (terminal?) illness. I hope he gets along okay.

I truly think he's actually growing a lot right now and I predict that when he "comes back" so to speak he will be absolutely set in his ways. He might even denounce some of his more controversial vies and moments and be a new man. Most likely with an intense beard.

>>14279963
>I always got this vibe that he was, at his core, a deeply caring and kind man.
Based on what? He wrote Twelve Rules to make money (Maps of Meaning was to stay employed). He did the YouTube set to make money. All of his choices since entering the public eye were to maximize profit.

>>14279784
Unironically source please I need to know

>>14279980
not that anon but he gave away his self-authoring program with a coupon code PEPE because he wanted to help the young men whom society has neglected and abused. zero profit there. in fact he lost money he might have otherwise earned.

>>14279980
I can hardly wait for his attempted comeback. Sympathy points for his dead wife are not going to shroud him. I'll make a meme of him as a Zulu warrior holding a skinshield made out of his wife.

>>14279980
Well of course. However I don't believe that receiving a personal monetary or social gain from your efforts diminish the good quality of your work. His 12 rules for life seemed to really resonate with people. Peterson often became very emotional when he talked about young people approaching him and saying that his messages saved them from suicide, depression, and general indifference towards life. Peterson even cried when talking about male suicide rates (the specific conversation arising because Peterson's influence was a male majority).

I find it really interesting that you seem to think that just because someone publishes a book for profit that it removes any moral or caring nature from the work. Pretty funny considering we're on a literature forum and the overwhelming majority of artists receive monetary or social profit from their work. Is this, in your opinion, wrong?

The problem is not that he receives money for his work, but that this work is garbage, and I suspect he knows it and puts it out there because he knows it's the type of garbage that'll sell. He should have stayed in his lane; that work actually seems to have been of some quality.

The question starts off with some truths, but then veers toward some massive oversimplification that even the book itself doesn't claim. I read it when it first came out when there were only a handful of chapters available. Addressing that while disentangling the added biases the asker put in also adds difficult in any context. Only a moron would have addressed it

>>14279748

I disliked him and his message from the beginning. "Hate" implies that I care enough about a conman as a person to actually feel anything towards him but disgust. I do hate what he has put into the minds of people, though. Useless vitriol.

Correct. JBP is the former.

Jordan Peterson is an anti-white globalist that rejects white identity and dodges the jewish question.

https://youtu.be/WXYuqrO8LLo

He also openly supports this woman and her book in which she endorses pedophelia as an innocent, playful thing. He also had her on his podcast where he again promoted this book: https://youtu.be/Ty3iP8-YooY
All in all: Jordan Peterson acts like a friend of young white men but this is just a clever disguise.

Personally I used to be a big fan of Peterson, but his dismissal of "identity politics" is one of the most toxic poison apples on the modern stage. Political ends are only ever achieved through collective action, and by dismissing group cohesion hes basically saying theres nothing fundamentally wrong with neo-liberal capitalism, you've just got too much smegma to find a healthy niche. When he debated Jizzneck it was laughable, all he could come up with was how well global-capitalism has increased material production. Jizz then told him in a lot of words that man cant live on bread alone, and despite Peterstein being well read in existentialism and religions, was totally dumbfounded by this. It totally revealed that any political message Peterson has is simply a sopophoric, and that you should be happy washing your penis inside your Amazon cage.

Theres also the literally endless hundred stop book tour, where he charges 300usd to touch his feminine suit. Or the fact that his diet advice is unhinged. Or the fact that instead of stopping his endless book tour to be with his dying wife he chomps xanax like they're maltesers. Or the fact that despite touting the Christian ethic he sits by as his daughter obliterates her marriage to fuck a mulatto pickup artist who pimped Romanian teenagers. Does all this dismiss his work? No, but it definitely suggests his meandering rants are just as vapid and blockheaded as he is.

The step that is ''hard for me to grasp'' is the step where apparently, if you are able to monetize your work you are automatically a conman. How does that work?

The fascists, sadly, were the only mass political movement to oppose the material hell were heading towards. Marxists were globalists before it was co. Id say in theory they want people even more obedient to the herd and totally atomized when it comes to personal loyalties. Thankfully based Stalin had the sense to give these fuckers the ice pick.

Hopefully we have a movement that seeks to steer the human race away from running a big train on the earth to fuel our collective lust on easily disposable baubles. It would be pretty funny if we ran out of mineral resources and all we had to show for it was extremely intricate masturbation aids.

im still a fan of the Kermit, despite agreeing with many of the things you said
i was also very disappointed in his debate with the Marxist 4channer reincarnate
>fat. sperg-like sniffling. autistic nose touching. ugly. literaly neckbeard.
one can acknowledge the great benefits capitalism has brought without hand-waiving some astute points of Marxism
he also uses "post-modernist" like someone would use the term "boogeyman" although to be fair, post-modernism is such a difficult term to define

i dont see anything wrong with him making money from his book tour. no ones putting a gun to the your head to pay $300 for a photo (although he appears to take photos free of charge during non-tour incidents)
imagine talking to a crowd of thousands of people who like you. if he took photos for free (after the event) with anyone who wanted to, he would never be able to leave
a healthy compromise may be charging people to take a photo with him during such high-traffic, time-limited events. people who really want to take a photo/have some personal interaction with him still can, while he can reasonably limit it so he can move on with his night.

the times ive heard his diet advice has been couched with the warning: "im not a dietitian, im just saying what ive tried and worked for me"
im not caught up with his whole wife saga, as i dont care about his personal life. but im pretty sure i saw a twitter screenshot where he said he was suspending his tour to take some time to be with his wife.
also his daughter is an adult. theres not much else he can do other than offer her his personal advice. she'll thot if she wants to thot.
reminds me of when Peterson was prodded with the hypergamy question. he acknowledged it, offered vague advice (soft-power monogamy, in the context of a convo about incels), and then quickly moved on without diving deeper into the issue

>"Does all this dismiss his work? No, but it definitely suggests his meandering rants are just as vapid and blockheaded as he is."

Modernism thought it had it all figured out, but it wasn't even close
It caused a crisis of spirit through hard rationality that allowed Marxism and fascism to dominate the empty souls of men and usher in an age of death unlike anything ever experienced before
Postmodernism is the process of questioning what went so wrong, and how, while trying to reconcile the utility of rationality with the social and spiritual needs of men that it left forgotten in the past

Most people here can't look past the basic advice or profit he brings in.

Basic advice is often the most needed. Like you said it resonated with a lot of people, so people obviously needed it.

He suspended his tour to go into rehab. And for his daughter, any well adjusted moral person would disown their child for doing such a thing. If someone does such a thing all you can do is cut then from your life. I came not to bring peace but a sword.
Him chasing an endless wildly profitable speaking tour isn't itself a sign of bad character, it's that he did so while the rest of his life crumbled around him.

He seemed at the start of this to be much more than he is. There is such a dire need for moralistic figures that he was hailed as some sort of prophet for a long time, but it turned out he was just another self help charlatan with dollar signs in his eyes.

>>14282822

Guy's making a buck, who cares? Wouldn't you charge 2k for an autographed rug if you could? I know I would.
How he chooses to make money says nothing about the merits of his work, which I have yet to see you address.

>>14282650
Yeah, really makes you think, doesn't it?

>>14283018
my apologies, my mistake regarding him suspending his tour. although like i said, i dont really care about or pay attention to his personal life.

on one hand i see the way he dealt with his trials and tribulations as a testament that, he too, is only human. from the start, i thought it was important to NOT hail him as some sort of prophet.
on the other hand, if someone as upright as him can make such mistakes (as it seems, without a better understanding of the personal details of his family, such as maybe his wife saying: "ill be fine, i want you to chase your dreams, ill hit you up when it gets really bad"), it casts a morbid shadow on whether someone as low-life as me can really achieve the changes i wish

>>14283018
The problem with Peterson is that people take him for more than he is, and that he's less than he could've been. After the initial tranny pronoun business he became quite a controversial figure because of the implications of what he was saying, but when he was pressed to actually pick a side, or name who "bloody postmodern neomarxists" are he waffled back and forth and sputtered on about "identity politics bad". He went on to use the publicity, and the legion of men looking at him for answers, to cash out by selling tickets, and selfies, and rugs, and books. He was born onto the public stage as one of these free speech martyrs, but fled from his duty for 30 pieces of silver. The Apostles gave their lives to speak the truth, yet Peterson couldn't be asked to risk his ten thousand dollar suits.

The fact that his personal life is in utter shambles is just further proof of his greed and cowardice.

>>14284042
Thoughtful take, I agree.
>people take him for more than he is
I've met people who treat him as a messiah, because he does offer positive messages and solid advice. But they don't treat his ideas critically, and believe all he has to say
>he's less than he could've been
He could've devoted his life to self-help and academic research, as a clinical psychologist.
Instead, as you said, he cashed out by going on speaking tours, and playing up his political beliefs (making a bogeyman out of post-modernism and humanities education, without taking the time to understand what they are).
It shows by his faded relevance and influence, compared to him in the past.

The problem wasn't that he played the politics card, its that he used it as a prop to prop up his speaking tour and stank of pandering. Peterson has been extremely coy when it comes to sharing his own beliefs on any topic that would shrink his fanbase, the God question is the best example of this. I would've liked if he was more brash with takes on politics and culture, not less. But like the rest of the "alt right" he very rapidly toned down his message after the post election smear campaign started to threaten the paychecks of all those right wing beggars

He also says "Jews have the highest IQ" but conveniently doesnt mention how they cheated on the SATs with Kaplan to get into the Ivy League

>you will never rip thicc lines of ket in your hotel-perfect room with JBP

>>14285557
That was my fault then. I should have said he equates speech with the incitement of murder. Yet if you were to tell Peterson that trans people have high suicidality rates and that calling them by non preferred pronouns could exacerbate that (bad logic but comparable) he will give you the "You have no right to dictate my freedom of speech" argument. Why does speech equal violence only when it is about Jewish people? Why does he throw his logic for pronouns out the window with parenthesis? And why do you have to be an insufferable cunt? You knew what I was talking about.

Anon you must really not like Jews to defend trans pronouns

Because I survived the fire.

By the time I discovered his sensationalist ramblings online, I’d already come out of several severe crises in my life. Trials of health, of violence, of abuse, and hardship. I was almost killed by the incompetence of a physician and his surrounding practitioners. I had to rebuild my body and mind. I did years of physical therapy just to be able to walk again and worked on myself to get over the psychological trauma and anger with professional help. These were events that I was able to somehow recover from terrible things, and they provided an opportunity for self-awareness and learning which led to self-improvement and a newfound focus, and a recognition that you only have one shot at a good and meaningful life.
So by the time I found Jordan Peterson, I understood how shallow he is. I could see that he is trying to communicate things to uninjured young men that can only be learned through the violence of exposure to a hostile world, and that he peddles his goods through chewed up bits of philosophy, the filtered and neutered thoughts of greater men, edited together to suit his narrative. His is an excellent rhetorician, but plainly communicates his misunderstanding of philosophy in how he constrains and edits it.

By the time I stumbled across Jordan Peterson, life had already shown me what he has to say, and with greater depth and meaning no less.

Is bringing home the actual test questions to build an answer key for studying compliant with national standards? Or is that only permissible for chosen people?

>>14279817
This guy is just rambling and stuttering like a stupid fuck. Peterson's a psychology teacher and he's smart enough to know when he's about to be baited by a loaded question. What a dumb video.

>And why do you have to be an insufferable cunt? You knew what I was talking about.
No, I did not know. This is why I asked. Cunt.

>>14284785
I think most of 4chan is incapable of learning and appreciating people who have opposing views. Like I might disagree with him Peterson, and do, because of the way he views Jews and his political beliefs. But I think at the same time he is completely rational and only believes that because he is unaware of the danger of Jews and all that. I think he's a respectable, brilliant person that I occasionally disagree with.

>>14285686
Meh. I got into the Ivy League and I'm white. Graduated in 2017. Not Jewish, white. You people are fucking dumb.

>>14285748
No offense anon but I really could give less of a fuck about your life story and anecdotes. The point is did you bring home an answer key generated off individual smuggled test questions? And say, if you did, how would that affect your score compared to others?

people that read your reading list use absurd made up words and jumbled sentence structure. you think it sounds cool (its not) and because its incomprehensible no one can challenge your ideology. therefore you think you are right (youre not).

as wolfgang pauli said: "not only is it not right, its not even wrong."

>>14279751
good point. because of this one passage it must mean everything he ever said is wrong.

I want you to use your big galaxy brain and think real hard about this one.

Good for you dude. The thing about Peterson is that he basically tells men that to be men, you have to confront the unknown. The better men, the good men, are the ones who confront the unknown with the most success. You got thrown into the furnace and made it out. He’s telling men they can start by putting out small fires, and become good at that, then become competent enough for big fires, then be able to withstand infernos. This is the “clean your room” meme. It’s a “little fire”, a small chaos. Nail it. Then your house. Then your job. Then so on and so forth.

He’s got his weirdness, but I still think he’s doing good work.

What I would give to kidnap Marie Kondo and make her life a living hell. I would force her to dress up in elf and leprechaun outfits and subject her to pure awfulness and humiliation. Just terrible degradation and shameful acts. It would be so easy to break her spirit and drive her to seppuku, but I wouldn't let her do it. If I could train a dog to rape on command then I would totally do that as well. A really big dog like a mastiff. She would be so completely and utterly powerless to stop it, not to mention terrified. A big ass dog is even scary and life-threatening to a normal human but to a midget? Might as well be a dragon. I'd keep her in a cell and what's more is that I would actually place the key inside with her but put it in a high place. Not extremely high but just ever so slightly out of reach. It would drive her mad. I would dress her like a baby and force feed her 99 cent store baby food. I'd also pick her up like a child and toss her from one corner to the next. I'd grab her by one leg and swing her as hard and as fast as I could then hurl her to see how far she goes. I'd rent one of those giant inflatable bounce houses and body slam her all day until my arms got tired. I'd hold her down with 1 hand and slowly stick things up her butt just to see her squirm. I would stick her in dryers and turn them on and leave her in there for long periods of time. I'd force her to fight other midgets to the death. Just so many things I'd do.

What few people understand is that he’s taking classic cognitive behavioral therapy techniques and applying them to the masses by tacking on bits of philosophical preposition to what is otherwise a pretty run of the mill psychotherapy technique which has existed since the late 80’s. Its an interesting idea, and I can’t tell if he’s a genius for doing this or a fool.

Whenever he became popular, because he became popular. His psychological advice is sound, and I am surprised that his expression of figurative, esoteric appreciation of sacred scripture isn't more popular among /lit/posters. His politics are a bit simple, but he is not primarily a politician. In fact, I would argue his work as a clinician as painted his individualist political views.
