Nothing wrong with Jordan. You are trying too hard to fit in with the /lit/ pseud clique. Fuck off.

Stay contrarian, faggot.

Dr. Sadler rules. His YouTube channel is so wonderful and is underappreciated considering the attention Dr. Peterson.

>>9821693
>advertising, authenticity on youtube, and unsolicited reviews
How much are Plato, Aristotle and Epictetus making out of Sadler's interview?

>>9821542
He literally is getting Jordan Peterson on.

>>9821701
No, anon, you are the contrarian.

>>9822229
>implying undying fame is not the sole aim of any decent philosopher

>>9822347
Why do you guys give that big of a fuck about him?

You know better than I that he's going to recommend books by Nietzsche, Jung and Dostoyevsky, or something along the line from the usual suspects, all of them authors who are not entirely foreign to /lit/ and the frequent recommendations thereof.

What's the fuss even all about?

>>9822364
He reminds us of ourselves. We hate him.

WHEN MEMES COLLIDE

>>9821411
Greg is super easy to flatter, so he's a bit naive navigating these things. And he's a pretty good guy who would do a good amount of work/appearances for free just to get philosophy out there. I know this cause I've met him and I may have been the one that tipped him off when Cliff mentioned him once.

It's a good video though cause Cliff's complete ineptitude at podcast conversation made the whole thing like an extended Sadler vlog.

>>9822373
We need a podcast between Sadler and Peterson.

He's a charlatan when talking about anything outside of his field and gets paid who knows how many thousands a month now for it.

>>9822364
once he realized a lot of his fans sympathize with MGTOW he pack peddled. Really shows where his interests are and It's not honesty or integrity.

>>9827144
Jung is his field
>>9827170
>where his interests are
getting paid to educate people into living slightly less shitty lives, an objective for which he doesn't perceive MGTOW to be a viable solution?
>peddled

Still didn't answer the question:
>Why do you guys give that big of a fuck about him?
Why do you concern yourself with him? Why?

Reminder most of these people are paid to impress you, nothing more. Some are paid far more than others mind you.

>>9828146
Buckley, Chomsky, Hitchens, Degrasse Tyson, Dawkins, Zizek, Bloom, Self, and Land are credible intellectuals though. Especially Bloom.

>>9828163
Why don't you get information first hand rather than from some garbage collector?

>>9828183
Because it's interesting to read others' opinions, because I can acknowledge some people are smarter and better educated than me, because I understand someone whose job it is to know a field and who has access to the best resources available could say more on that field that I could.

>>9828146

I don't feel that the great comic George Carlin belongs on such a list, the man was a master of the humor craft, and beige is a top lad, likewise William F Buckley is the definition of an intellectual, there wasn't any facade to him, now on the other hand, his contemporary gore vidal certainly could take his place on this list

>>9828217
>because I can acknowledge some people are smarter and better educated than me

How spooky.

>>9828146
Leave Sadler alone man he just wants to make videos about Hegel and give free talks

>>9828271
intelligence is not a spook

>>9828523
Maybe not but that poster obviously has respect for other men, and that is very spooky.

I love Vidal, but it's true that fame was his #1 goal and that he was not a real public intellectual, all posturing. he's no different than Capote, both were ladder climbing queens.
