I think beterson is a fucking pseud but I'm willing to be proven wrong. Where should I start?

I don't know about Peterson himself, but people who listen to his podcast/lectures and find him inspiring, quote him all the time while posting on 4chan are pseud.

Start here: https://www.amazon.com/Jordan-B.-Peterson/e/B001HMLIKQ

>Maps of meaning seems to be his prize work as he uses the cover picture for almost everything.

Like most things, the self-proclaimed hardcore fan base is the thing that ruins the (potential) message.

Wittgenstein so you can clarify your thoughts and recognize bullshit when you see it. PI and remarks on frazer are good for a jungian adventure.

His shtick certainly has a lot to do with performance and his conclusions are ultimately relatively tame, in most cases, but he's certainly not a pseud. I think one look at his academic record should prove that.

>>10177085
Cuz instead of working within the sphere of legitimate academia he uses his position as a public "intellectual" to discuss things he clearly knows jack shit about.

No hate on wittgenstein but why tf would I read him for fun?

I don't see anything wrong with that in principle. All you're saying here is that you're disagreeing with him.

I don't think you understand what a "pseud" is. He's just your run-of-the-mill public intellectual, who like many other public intellectual loves to delve into areas he's not necessarily very proficient in. His cult of personality is mostly what distinguishes him from the others.

Sorting yourself isn't bad advice, but I take it as that each has their own sense of sorting. That is, instead of a universal sorted there many personal conceptions. I think his Bible series is interesting as a lit analysis from a Jungian perception, but I don't know how 'valid' it is. I've watched his lectures from 2015 and 2014, but haven't read his book.
