Jordan Peterson said in one of his latest books that you enter adulthood when you stop adding sugar to your tea. In one of his most recent conferences, he was caught on mic asking for tea with three spoons of sugar.

I never added sugar to my tea, not even when i was a kid. I think he trying to say that once you confront life without any side help (your parents, friends, goverment etc), you enter adulthood.

It has nothing to do with him making people feel inadequate. Why do you default to such an uncharitable interpretation?

Not only that. He claimed in a lecture that he was an “existentialist”, and that meant for him (regardless of what it really means) that people who don’t “practice what they preach” don’t really believe in what they are saying and are therefore untrustworthy. He failed his own test and ousted himself as untrustworthy. Of course to some of us who were paying attention he had already ousted himself as an astroturfed shill In many different occasions.

I can't believe this board puts me in the position of defending some boomer neolib but honestly, these criticisms are libelous.
The whole "set yourself right before you try to fix the world" is an accurate prescription for mass revolutionary politics. Obviously the world is corrupt and in need of fixing, but take the example of white nationalists Matt Heimbach and Richard Spencer, whose political strategy was guided by blind emotion and narcissism, and so their careers ended in flames, ruining the lives of many people who put their faith in them. The point is not "accept slavery" it is that you must pursue psychological wholeness before you can even tell what slavery is, as can be seen in Heimbach's disavowal of grug-tier trucker politics, and or in your radfem future cat lady's foregrounding her fear of men and motherhood.

That being said, society's maintenance requires a certain number of people be willing to sacrifice in the name of the group, as in war, and their psychology is often manipulated to get that to happen.

And as for C16, what was he wrong about? "This bill is written to allow arbitrary totalitarian interpretation of hate speech laws" seems cut and dry. Whether or not anyone is actually facing jail time currently is besides the point.
