dont bother, its just right wing antisjw gamers who want someone to tell them they are special because theyre men and unhappy with being unsuccesful losers, and other shit they already want to hear like feminists are the devil

you can see what this guy's shtick is by how he flip flopped from calling MRA and theredpill people losers to changing his tune and literally saying im sorry to unironical misoginists who say that basically all women "want to ride the cock carousel then settle" -as if they are some special being that dont want to have as many sexual partners as possible in their daily lives- and rambling about some bullshit about how today women in the US/Canada have an advantage in the courts in divorce, as if one somehow makes the other not valid, he's a cuck who found out he can play with the balls of losers who have trouble with women for their money

also if you want to see why he says nothing of substance in regards to freedom of speech, go look at his interactions with canadian law makers -you know about the law that started his fame, that is literally just an extension of protected classes to stuff like gender identity, that does absolutely nothing of the things he pretends online in his videos it does, and the canadian lawmakers called him out explicitly while he just rambled as if he was doing one another of his youtube videos and not as if someone just refuted every premise he tried to push

It's obviously for easy money. Jordan Peterson saw that the anti-SJW crowd was becoming then next hot trend so he took advantage of that to whine in public about gender pronouns. He managed to frame the situation as an educated man being oppressed by the system, when in reality all that happened was that the University of Toronto sent a strongly worded letter that probably meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. He never got fired from his job, no one committed an act of violence or terror against him, and his "issue" ultimately amounted to nothing more than an oversensitive college student complaining about something in class and him saying no. It was the most first word form of "oppression" there was. Yet the anti-SJW crowd on the internet latched on to this as if he was a martyr, a hero standing for the little man against the evil SJW menace, which is evidently the most important issue of our time. They view him as an authority figure, a trophy to wave around and say "see? We're not dumb, this guy believes in the same things we do, and he's a professor!" when in reality they're all just being marketed to. On top of that, they, too, get to feel "smart" and "cultured" by being associated with him, without doing any actual academic legwork. To his credit, it paid off well. Not only does he still have his job as a professor, but he also makes 65k a month on Patreon, solely by uploading videos of himself talking in front of a camera.

His strategy is to whine about the nebulous, evil force of "postmodernism" and "cultural marxism", without directly attacking or citing any relevant literature like an actual academic. He never directly cites or addresses any of the works of Derrida, Foucault, Lyotard, or any by the "Frankfurt school", like Adorno, Marcuse, and Horkheimer. He just says "postmodernism is bad, bro" and "cultural marxism is bad, bro" without actually substantiating his claims by seriously addressing any of the relevant literature. Anyone can blame all of their problems on a vague, oppressive force but to actually fix anything or come up with a practical solution you need to understand it and define it concretely.

Jordan Peterson just happened to check off all of the boxes for internet culture at the time.
>I want someone smart to validate that SJWs are dumb

This is where you (and most others) are wrong. What Peterson is doing is true sophistry, it's art. Saying everybody could do this is factually wrong. He has a mix of high credentials, rhetoric and immunity to peer pressure that made him who he is today. In fact, nobody else is doing it, because they can't. He's raking in mad $ with philosophy. Let that sink in before you guys insult him further. It's the equivalent of "Lol Trump is so stupid, Hillary was too intelligent to win".

I was thinking about this the other day. How did Peterson become so good at sophistry? I think it has something to do with his work as a psychologist, perhaps he studied psychology of the masses or something like that. We should look into his academic publications (not maps of meaning) and find out. I'd do this myself but I don't know where to look.

Literally just bullshitting some psychological platitudes on top of the Peter Pan story. If you find this deep, you're a dumbass. The reason JP is criticized so much is not even because people think he's wrong but that he's shallow. His "advice" is so commonsensical and obvious that it's laughable how deep people try to make it.

He believes their whole premise is untendable. Won't even be able to directly criticise someone like Derrida, when his whole philosophy centers around the relativistic nature of interperation. Peterson's arguments would be claimed to be white man's assertions of power and an unability to feel what it's like to be part of an "opressed class". Rightfully believed seen within a postmodernist framework. But it takes the right away to make the argument that he doesn't engage Derrida, or anyone else in his camp.

Not making an argument here but asking a legitimate question, as I'm only minimally exposed to the Greeks. If one orients himself unquestionably towards one ideal, that is, to tell the truth completely in each moment, THOUGH recognises that truth will manifest differently in each moment and call forth different things to say in each moment because of the inherent contradictions and limitations of language: does that make you a sophist?

Peterson believes truth emerges from a biological evolutionary scale as a pragmatist reality. Not based solely on argument. He doesn't seem like a sophist to me.

Getting payed to philosophize makes you a sophist in the original sense. Nobody can tell whether one truly believes in what one says. What is clear is that nobody needs 30k/month to make a few videos telling "the truth". If he at least used that money to do something philosophy-related people probably wouldn't be calling him a sophist.
It's a different argument than the one which says that Peterson is himself a postmodernist, which is what you were talking about with the mutable definition fo truth.

A pseudo intellectual psychology professor and youtube celebrity was teaching a class on postmodernism,

”Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Carl Jung and accept that he was the most highly-evolved human the world has ever known, even greater than Homer!”

At this moment, a brave, well read, pro-canon /lit/idf champion who had posted 1500 threads on plebs and understood the necessity of dialectics and fully grasped all intricacies of the Frankfurter Schüle stood up and held up a rock.

”How do you explain this, pinhead?”

The arrogant professor smirked quite and smugly replied “Scientifically its a lump of atoms you stupid regressive”

”Wrong. all science is a construct based on axiomatic logic, if Nietzsche was as you say right about our culture… then all logic should be thoroughly criticized right now”

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of The Gulag Archipelago. He stormed out of the room crying those pseud crocodile tears. The same tears pseuds cry for the “truth” (wich today is so formed by discursive powerstructures that it is meaningless) when they greedily try to claw wealth from their foolish wagecuck audience. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, Jordan B(*tch) Peterson, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a sophist celebrity professor. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had fought against male suicide!

The students applauded and all started with the Greeks that day and accepted Bloom as their lord and saviour. A falcon named “Patrician” flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The Dialektik der Aufklärung was read several times, and Pynchon himself showed up and enacted literary goofs and pranks across the country.

The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died trying to comprehend Moby Dick and was deleted of the internet for all eternity.

Fucking Pleb.

Philosophers get invited and give lectures all the time around America/Europe and they certainly don't get paid as much because what they say (what anyone says) is simply not that valuable. With that much money he could be the one hosting events and inviting other people, if not outright open a philosophical salon of his own.

whining about SJWs makes a lot of $$$, anon
i like how his audience doesn't realize he's effectively the anti-SJW version Anita Sarkeesian
>make uninformed videos about a subject you know nothing about
>pretend to be oppressed when you aren't
>make sympathy bucks
to his credit tho at least he relied on a patreon instead of a kickstarter

He's trying to make a free online university with legitimate qualifications apparently. It would be pretty ironic if the guy who constantly goes on about not being deceitful and to aim for the highest good ended up spending all the money on a mansion and cars.

because /lit/, by way of being connected to 4chan, is composed of different factions. there are some here who come to talk about literature, and there are some who bleed over from /pol/ and constantly ask about shit like "meme trilogies" and "which of muh high school reading list is /lit/ approved?" if you find his ideas insightful in any way, well,

he's the most placid, mediocre thinker that 4chan has flocked to and his popularity should probably be the biggest motivator of any sane person to want to shoot themselves

Once you've listened to a couple of his lessons he becomes a broken record really fast. Like, 50%+ of each lecture is recycled content, and I'm not talking about his lectures from different years, even his interviews and podcasts are just the same thing over and over.
What triggers /lit/ the most is his open misuse of the term "postmodern" though, and the fact that he never addresses any specific author/work. One could be excused to think he never even read them.
I guess whatever he teaches is still better than most trash that gets passed for humanities in Canada.
