At the /lit/ meetup yesterday someone asked who all our favorite philosophers are so I said with a completely stern face: "Peterson". The cacophanous laughter that followed soon after was one of the most disgusting shows of brutistry I have ever witnessed. My tears singed hot on the cheek and I went to bed right after I got home because my room was already clean.

This is verifiable. You can just go to a library and read books of contemporaries or check out papers. The short answer is the 'greats' often had virtually no notoriety outside the literati of their day. Peterson's popularity among non-academics and the literary hoi palloi is probably a bad sign for his posthumous prospects.

I mean even take another "pop" academic like Zizek. 99.998 percent of people haven't got a clue who he is, even though he seems like such a giant in the literature world. Still, I think he's got a better chance of being remembered because he serves a purpose as a current critic of neoliberalism, which I expect will continue to be discussed as an evolution of Marx's theories. Peterson, on the other hand, is a self-help author and he offers basically nothing new. Just a proponent of Jung with politics about 200 years out of date to be interesting.

Women depend on a father figure early in life to act as a role model for what a good potential partner should be like. For whatever reason this balance is very easily disturbed, so women can do things like engage in destructive relationships because no man will ever match up to her idealised view of her father, engage in destructive relationships because she wants to spite her father for not paying enough attention to her, have a bad relationship with her mother because she's jealous of her being married to her father, or make poor life choices because her absent father wasn't there to act as a good role model. Almost all women have daddy issues of one kind or another, or at least have resolved but strong feelings regarding her relationship with her father.

Does this apply to men too? Do most men have "mommy issues?"

[Anonymous No.11758551]

>>11758534
Men have daddy issues too in the sense that they need a role model to figure out how to properly control their aggression and whatnot. As for mommy issues it's true that some of them do, and the mother should be a role model for what a good potential wife should be like, but for various reasons probably inherent in male vs. female neurology it's far less common in men, and usually issues only manifests if they've been actually abandoned by their mothers.

Peterson has commented multiple times on how crazy and surreal it was to be rapidly thrust into the spotlight. He's talked about how how unexpected it was, and how it's changed his life. What this guy is saying just isn't true.

It's easy for undergraduate philosophy students to mock Peterson and feel superior to him because of that. He's still doing a great service even if he is latently empowering fascists.

Those are two mutually exclusive activities. And his great service is advocating for self-care, which every CBT practitioner has been doing for fifty years. Further, it's pretty rich hearing about how important it is to be compassionate toward oneself from a guy who wrote about his desire to kick the shit out of a four year-old, and how he thinks that would've saved the kid from a life a delinquency were he able.

since this guy generalizes Jordan "Radical Buisness Man Thoughts" Peterson so wildly and with seemingly little research (Hitchens to a lesser extent) I'm going to generalize and project upon this guy (and to great unexpected acclaim I might add) with the same smugness this guy echoes
>that 60 yr old divorcee who still upholds his wife's image in public even after losing everything in the divorce who could only keep his dog during which he may or may not have trained her to kiss him on the dick to make up for all the time he wasted not buying Penguin Classics over and over whilst he was younger in another futile attempt to grasp how badly he has been fucked over in a world which is already at least 75% solipsist in an illusory internet vacuum to absolute nobodies except maybe the few who enjoy watching dogs begrudingly kiss old men.
(I know all of this just by watching his body language I swear).
He's right about people trying to re-write their history however and his air of arrogance is almost infectious. He reminds me of the baby boomers who ask 20yr olds out of college with immeasurable debt in >2008 how come they haven't bought a house yet like they did when they waz kidz.
