I think Jung is a charlatan and Peterson's advice (clean your room, be honest, stop doing bad things, etc) is only useful for people who are such massive fuckups that this idea that you should behave well and do things to further your long term goals is life changing. They couldn't figure it out on their own they needed some psychoanalyst to explain it to them with bullshit allusions to fairy tails. Like it takes a -200 person and potentially brings them to 0, whereas the rest of us started at 0 and are working up. He also feeds this anti-idpol online movement thing that I am pretty sure is sustaining idpol, since it's a victim justice ideology everyone would get over it if people stopped paying attention to them and getting outraged at every one of their stupid little demands of society.
Having some guy on the internet argue with them literally keeps their movement alive. Peterson produced thousands of those guys just as their numbers would have naturally dropped off through boredom with the conflict.

I feel like these threads are engineered to make me lose my mind/make me paranoid. Every thread that's about some topic people are already somewhat opposed to like JBP twists in a small detail that makes you want to disagree based purely on the way the thread is presented.

>but that shouldn't discount his overall message
And extremely important part of his message is batshit insane though. He does quite literally believe that there is a grand alliance of figures on the left (who he tends to avoid defining) want to subvert traditional western values (which he also tends to avoid defining) in order to intentionally create a Mao style communist state. One of the big problems comes from this leftist alliance. He never really names people who in are in on it. Only strains of thought. He doesn't seem to mind the fact that Derrida and Foucault don't want a Mao style state. He can't find any postmodern philosophers who do so it's just same vague postmodern thing which is part of it. Postmodernism cannot be reconciled with Marxism (a major element he cites in being part of this alliance) and both tend to be quite hostile towards each other. I saw in an interview when this was pointed out to him he said I know they don't agree, it just shows how crazy they are that they are working together. All he ever really seems to do is point at a particular example that pops up in the news along the lines of feminists want more females studied in classics or something rather. Regardless of how anyone feels about any of these incidences he never tries to see if the person or people involved in this incident are actually involved in some great leftist alliance. He just assumes they are. He never cites any thinkers who are explicit in doing what he says they are doing or even of the existence of any such alliance. He just infers that they exist.

So his boogeyman is vague enough that he always has wiggle room in interviews claims he doesn't like and can be repurposed to attack pretty much anyone he doesn't like on the left.
I find his talk of undermining western values odd though. Postmodernism is a western set of ideas, that grew out of a reaction to western ideas and which look in many ways similar to ideas that have existed in the west going all the way back past Socrates. But somehow Christianity is more European? Does he just mean conservative social values? He sounds like when a Republican talks about Family Values. It's a mostly meaningless phrase. It suggests somethings but it's ill defined and when some vague group is attacking some vague thing it's pretty easy to twist things to look how you want it.

I know Peterson from his work on alcoholism and addiction, back in the 90s, when he was at Harvard. In a decade he performed 120 research projects and studies, as well as over 100 scholarly papers on the subjects. A brilliant researcher. Then it all went to shit.
The official line is that he had a nervous breakdown an took indefinite sabbatical, others say he had a stroke. Either way, he's not the same man that he was then.
He went from doing cutting edge research at a prestigious university, to teaching an entry level psych 101 level class, and commenting on current event issues that piss him off, like a senile old man.
I'm partial to the stroke theory. Look at his youtube rants, where he breaks out in tears and starts blubbering inappropriately, or his recent interviews, where he couldn't hold his own in the conversation. Classic stroke symptoms of Pseudo bulbar affect.
No matter really, since whatever happened, the world lost a brilliant researcher. Now he's nothing more than a pop culture figure.

Peterson's alright. I can guarantee that the average 4chan "intellectual" would turn on absolutely anybody who achieved the level of notoriety that he has, the way he has. A shame, because I've personally witnessed the good he's doing and I don't think even the most devastating critic could take that away from him. Why is "wash your penis" a bad message for a generation of impotent retards who've obviously never been told to wash their penises? Why belittle that? The hateboner is ridiculous.

Not a conscious alliance like the League of Evil, you moron. It's just an influential pack of lazy cowards who've had critical theory bullshit human-centipede'd to them through the social and educational grapevine. They are basically trees grown crooked at this point and that stupidity colors their every action.
>Postmodernism cannot be reconciled with Marxism
That's how I know you're being deliberately ignorant, which is irritating because you obviously feel like this is something worth talking about. Peterson understands that Postmodernism and Marxism shouldn't mix. Obviously that's that case. His point is that they still almost always do, because they place that they're both coming from is typically 100% insincere, not grounded in reality, and they don't care about inconsistencies. Saying that Marxism and Postmodernism don't mix because they conflict is like saying that a Christian can't be a murderer because murder is a sin, all while living in a hypothetical universe where virtually all Christians are serial killers.

No it used mean "keeping the party line". So it was applied to the Nazis in the 30s. Then, because the Marxists wanted everyone to have only good thoughts, it got applied to Soviets and Maoists.
It's not until about the 1980s that it comes to be considered actually a good thing by the left.

Anon this is a cycle, first it's contrarian love, then exposure love, then as it starts getting more and more exposure contrarians start appearing, then the ones who took the core teachings of the person, thought, event being broadcasted leave and move on with their lives while the contrarians remain, repeat over and over.

This happens everywhere, on the internet and irl, mcluhan wrote about this, constant exposure to something will lead to exhaustion regardless of it's content and or merit, it's a basic pattern of behaviour you can see in 4chan or reddit and in populations as well, you either see the pattern or you let yourself be affected by the collective, I believe bernays wrote about this as well, this is why it is important to make sure you have agency and aren't letting the internet and the personalities that inhabit it gatekeep your acceptable thoughts, most people have surface level opinions about almost everything, today it's more common to see it, you watch a youtube video, maybe read a text, and your whole mind is convinced you know what it's true and that the others are the ones who are wrong.

A word of advice, take a 2 week vacation from all technology this summer, lock everything away and go spend 2 weeks camping, take careful notice on how your thoughts and thought loops behave during it, you will be surprised at what you uncover, we're all under modernities cloak, it's of good use to remove it periodically.

I have to take some issue with your argument.

Regardless of how much nature or nurture played a role in someone like me being "-200", the fact is that there are thousands of guys like me out there.

I could just be retarded from birth, sure, in that case throw me out like the rest of the invalids, but what percentage of those looked down upon just didn't the same social support structures so many take for granted?

"Cleaning our rooms" sounds like trivial and banal advice to people who never had a problem with that, but to dysfunctional people still desperately trying improve their lives but being overwhelmed by all the "common sense" or "self-help" crud that never helped before, basic advice like this is actually more valuable than just "lol just b urself".

If you can't understand that, be grateful.

I don't agree with everything Peterson says, but I can't deny that he gets some of the fundamentals right, and even if you don't need it, which is the basis of your criticism, others do.

I think about echochambers as being, so to speak, the congealed dead weight of the collective reflective process. If you don't have enough time, processing power and energy for active discernment, the public dialogue sort of throws you around left and right as you pick up information in a fragmentary manner, and once you get tired of that you find a group that gives you at least the illusion of a stable identity.

He is a mental terrorist who willfully speak about things that he has no fucking idea about and create misunderstandings in whatever he talks about.

Some fucking time he would tweet a paper and use it as an evidence of something that the paper either doesn't say so or sometimes the complete opposite.

Why is God the primary axiom? Why not cheese?

because cheese is a specific, positive entity while god is the concept of a absolute transcendental meta-existence

I have no idea who the fuck you are hanging around with, maybe you are older, but I am a 21 year old in college and am surrounded by people that desperately should take the advice of Peterson. All these faggots do is further their dopamine addictions and worry about what others think of them. There is a serious lack of discipline and lack of drive. Someone preaching self responsibility is deeply needed. I am no slouch to begin with. I am going to graduate with honors, have a very well paying job locked and loaded at a company with a CEO who loves me and is allowing me to stay rent free at his home, and am in better physical shape than anyone I know. Funny enough the person that turned me on to Peterson was the CEO of the company I will be working for. So write him off if you want but the reasons you put forth are untrue.

can confirm, the single most common reason people drop out of college is that they're unable to function in an environment where they have to take even moderate responsibility for themselves.

Cheese is basically meat though. I mean, you don't have to kill anything, but biochemically it is very similar.

>He does quite literally believe that there is a grand alliance of figures on the left (who he tends to avoid defining) want to subvert traditional western values (which he also tends to avoid defining) in order to intentionally create a Mao style communist state
that would be quite the "long march through the institutions"
