He hasn't even begun.

>if his efforts were put towards more philosophy/psychology videos and books we'd have some really great works by now
Kek. There's nothing particularly outstanding about Peterson aside from the fact that he's more publicly known than thousands of other academics.

>it's another r/the_donald thread
gotta contain all the 12 year olds somehow I guess

>>9550736

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fuck off leftie.

>Le everyone who disagrees with me is a 12 year old edgy The_Donald pleb.

>>9551193

he isnt wrong, youtube watching pseuds need to leave this board, it belongs on /his/ or /pol/

>>9550736
I feel like Jordan knows what it's like to be a wimpy loser male and a large part of his interest in the "dominance heirarchy," relationships between men and women, and female sexual selection is inspired by that.

Some of his most contentious stuff is the explanation of hypergamy and sexual selection. It attracts MGTOW types. It angers feminists when you say that life is just as shitty for men. His entire philosphy is extremely depressing desu

>>9551217
Kek, does he really talk about hypergamy

Man is a walking meme

>>9550850
>>9551198
Just searched /r/the_donald for posts about Jordan Peterson; there's only one with >100 comments. Back to /r/socialism with you.

>>9551193
>behaves exactly like a 12 year old poltardian
>hurr durr false generalizations & strawmen

>>9551217
I always find it funny that all these male-empowerment speakers who constantly talk about dominance or some variation of it are wimpy, not to say it doesn't make sense.

>>9551217
He actually detests the MGTOW types: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uTMPwFlf9I

His stuff on sexual selection and reproduction is pretty basic biology though. I learned that stuff in first year biological anthropology.

>>9551307
Look I don't really know the lingo because I'm not a reddit user. Maybe you'll find that site more accomodating?

>>9551312
>Wife, two kids, successful tenured professor, nearly 40 grand a month on Patreon
>Wimpy

He's at the top of the dominance hierarchy my dudes

>>9551322
Yeah he's making money off the insecurity of his wimpy former-selves. As for having a wife and kids I don't see how that means shit. Plus he always looks like he's going to cry.

>a run-off-the-mill professor goes online and presents his own ideas in watered down layman's terms spiced up with namedropping of famous thinkers
>supplies analysis of modern relatable pop-culture phenomenons with points resonating with the troubled youth
>inadvertently creates a full-blown personality cult among those with limited educational opportunities and mental faculties
Peterson is a living artwork.

>>9551340
He's the postmodern self-help guru.

>>9551322
>having a family and making money is the top of dominance hierarchy
That's some sad life outlook you have my man.

>>9551322
This desu. He has a hot daughter, so his wife is probably decent looking. His audience is a bunch of pic relateds who think that everyone who isn't a 7 ft tall, black, billionaire who plays in the NBA is doomed to die a virgin, and Peterson is baiting the fuck out of them.

>>9551331

You seem like the type of guy that will get into a really conservative marriage and end up raising someone elses kids.

>>9551346
you forgot the successful professor part. i used to think he was a bit of a hack myself but the guy is pretty well regarded in his field. he's got a decent number of citations.

>>9551364
All this stuff about Peterson being a wimp and this comment in particular reeks of projection.

are you guys sorting yourselves out?
this week was a mess for me, the only thing I did was cleaning my room

>>9551347

>>9551322
True, but you get the feeling that he thinks himself to be extremely lucky for it, and understands what it's like not to "be at the top of the hierarchy"

>>9551314
I know it;s most probably true, but that doesn't make it any less depressing.

>>9551355

I though 4chan was supposed to be full of self-aware people as opposed to reddit?

>>9550736

he's a Jungian. nothing he says can ever be of value until he drops that mystical bullshit.

>>9551370
What's more likely is that you have that genuine fear so you have to claim i'm projecting because it hit a nerve.

>>9551381
>Depressing
Irrelevant. It's biological reality.

>>9551387
Clean your room.

>>9551365
Yeah. In his field. The dude is a complete hack when it comes to philosophy. It's a classic case of "stay in your lane".

>>9551397
I will transcend biological reality

nah

>>9551347
She's a qt. Very /lit/ looking gal

>>9551404
>qt

>>9551400
Not really; the work he's done in his field blends pretty well with his philosophy. He's pretty bad when it comes to politics though

Just fuck off back to t_d. This is an 18+ site.

>>9551432
Is the fear so overwhelming that you've run out of words and have to post a picture to respond?

>literally half the thread is edgy greentext and spicy maymays pictures
Summer didn't even start, yet couldn't be over too soon.

There's literally nothing wrong with Peterson and he's genuinely a good guy.

I mean, listen to this video and ask yourself if you're just listening to another retarded ''''''''''public intellectual''''''''''''''''.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QctT0Oc_uQQ

>>9551455
>grow up and be useful guys
SHIT

>it's another /lit/ hates on anyone slightly famous

great

>>9551471
But your picture has words in it because you were too inept to come up with a response beyond your lifeline of "YOU'RE PROJECTING LOL"

>>9551474
Well he's right. But there has to be a good reason to do it.

>>9551489
My response was the one your comment deserved.

>>9551473
LMAO if anything postmodernism would be saying she's attractive get your definitions right and your eyes checked dyke-lover.

>>9551455
The mere fact that this is yet another "doing x is the new counterculture" situation warrants me never even batting an eye in this guy's direction.
How much of a fucking cuck do you have to be to listen to hours upon hours of some canadian autist rambling about Jung to justify your realization that despite years of being edgy on the internet you're still nothing but another milquetoast WASP?

>>9551387
>mystical
>not a good thing
CLEAN

>>9551455
>guys you can be edgy and """"counter-culture"""" by growing up and being useful
>intellectual
Holy shit are all his videos this custom tailored to autistic teenagers?

>>9550736

No one is doing more to ruin philosophy today than this imbecile.

>>9551499
>rambling about Jung
He mainly rambles about Nietzsche and Piaget desu

>>9551475
>it's another /pol/tard who has never been on /lit/ defends his internet male authority figure

>>9551504
Yes. He's basically a walking, talking Quentin meme.

>CLEAN YOUR FUCKING ROOM, OR WHAT, DO YOU WANT TO LIVE LIKE A NIGGER OR SOMETHING?
Peterson went a little over the line in that video, no wonder he took it down

>>9551495
That wasn't your response, it's just canned bullshit the rhetorically retarded use when they have nothing.

>>9551493
If you need someone to tell you that perhaps the window is the next door you should take.

>>9551518
>rhetorically retarded
I don't like engaging in rhetoric. You may, and you may be proud of rhetorical abilities, but I avoid it when I can.

>>9551455
>acting mature and being useful is good
>a lecture

>>9551508
How can someone read Nietzsche and end up promoting christianism as "welp the best option we have guise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" I will never know, but this alone should show you how much of a hack this cunt is.

>>9551217
It wouldn't be depressing if women knew how to be humble with their priceless gift of reproduction. Instead they flaunt it and selfishly exploit it for whatever gain.

Sad state of modern culture.

>>9551455
>take on responsibility
>bare your burdens
It's no wonder why lefties hate this guy. But seriously though this guy is harmless.

>>9551455
>grow up an make something of yourself
Is praising Peterson literally "I grew up without a father"?

>>9551533
>just because you read Nietzsche you should agree with him on everything
nice slave morality

>>9551530
I'm convinced at this point you're either autistic or a semi-retarded person.

>>9551533
He doesn't so much promote Christianity but the meta-story that it (and all religions for that matter) attempts to articulate. Nietzsche would have like that idea.

>>9551545
Nice attempt but you gotta try a little bit harder, Peterson isn't even the best attempt at social christianity out there.

>>9551539
>But seriously though this guy is harmless.

Apparently not. This thread is completely asspained about him. It's actually quite funny that he evokes such strong emotions among internet keyboard warriors.

It makes me think he's onto something and people are in denial.

>>9551550
>you're dumb
Dude. Seriously. Just look at what you're writing. Just stop.

>>9551544
I grew up with a father but he didn't teach me any of the things fathers are supposed to teach, also he used to be a violent retard, I literally had to punch him once so he would leave my sister alone
I realized some of the stuff Peterson says the hard way, I think it is a good thing that someone is doing what he does so kids don't have to screw their lifes in order to learn this basic stuff
Where can I read something about the effects of not having a male figure in your former years

>>9551410
>>9551438
>>9551440
>Attacking the appearance of a man's 55 year old wife
So this is the power of the left

>>9551554

>For the notion that Marxism is itself a kind of religion is one of the principal arguments of the anti-Communist arsenal; the idea, no doubt, is that it is shamefaced religion, a religion which does not wish to know its own name. Yet it has always seemed to me a peculiar reproach, one which cuts both ways: an assimilation of Marxism to religion in particular would seem to reduce the religions to the status of purely secular ideologies. The revealing analogy, in other words, is at this point not so much that of Marxism with religion, as that of religions with Marxism.

>>9551560
You're not just dumb, there's something clearly off with the way your brain functions.

Why do threads about JP attract so many retards?

If I was a bit paranoid I'd say they're organized by JP himself, because "there's no bad publicity" and all.
Surely we don't have literal SJWs browsing this board, right?

>>9551594
We do. There is a disproportionate number of trannies and Marxists on lit.

>>9551580
Can you reply without greentext, images, claiming projection or kys? It's like behind all of the generic 4chan responses is a person that's not entirely there.

>>9551583
I don't want to. I want to have 10 extra literature related threads on a literature board instead of filtering autistic /pol/ teenagers from broken families discussing the major philosophical genius of a middling psychology professor expressing highly novel ideas of cleaning their habitat and growing the fuck up.

>>9551610
I can indeed, yes. Can you address the rhetorical knot you've tied yourself in?

>>9551591
He's wrong she's objectively ugly.
