Actually read the damn thing to completion---and if you like hard mode, to sufficient comprehension of his arguments and how his stream of consciousness is put together.

The memes and posts won't be stopping anytime soon thanks to how Western culture has found itself in; you may as well learn to attack/defend/criticise him coherently unless you find joy in being a brainlet memester.

Do so, and that will pull yourself ahead from these crabs-in-the-bucket that can't disconnect themselves from the Entertainment Matrix.

Living life well has always been the ultimate insult.

You can expect platitudes and an expectation that you should behave like lobsters, because apparently you should follow nature when it fits your ideology. except when it does not fit your ideology then you're supposed to fight nature.

NOT HIS POINT AT ALL
He’s never once made a naturalistic argument and said it is moral to act by your nature. He just said that we have built-in ways of doing things and those ways may sometimes be the most beneficial/efficient/stable way to act, depending on your idea of benefit, and he has laid out his idea of benefit pretty thoroughly.

/lit/ has me convinced that hating this guy was the smart thing to do for months but I’m finally starting to realize that 85% of the arguments against him are painfully thin. I thought it was a meme but a lot of the backlash against him is coming from angry self-identifying Marxists who feel certain some smart person out there somewhere has already beaten all arguments against Marxism

It's largely the same material as all his YouTube stuff. So, if you've followed him very closely you have sort of already read the book. Still, it's good you bought it, the sales are helping liberals hear his message and how stupid they are.

There are plenty of legitimate arguments against Marx, but Peterson doesn't even engage with Marx's theses. J.P. just retreats to lazy, Nietzchean meta-arguments and calls it a day, without tackling Marx on Marx's own terms.

i remember reading that ryan holiday book on viral/guerilla marketing, and there was this part about how pissing off feminists is the best way to sell a product because they give it free advertising and then dudes will buy it just to not feel like cucks, in fact he would spam out fliers to feminists groups on colleges telling them to protest whatever he was selling lol well we can see peterson has used his blue print and cashed in bigtime, the rest of ryan holidays crap sucks ass, but that first book had some insights

1. Stand up straight with your shoulders back
2. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping
3. Make friends with people who want the best for you
4. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who someone else is today
5. Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them
6. Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world
7. Do what is meaningful (not what is expedient)
8. Tell the truth - or at least don't lie
9. Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't
10. Do not vaccinate your children
11. Do not bother children when they are skateboarding
12. Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street
