I tried listening to his lectures on YouTube. There's a lot of anecdotes and pop history that don't mesh well, none too impressed.

Have you actually read it? I want an honest opinion but I feel like people are pre-judging it before reading because it was written by the new meme guy.

I think it's a great book, and I also think he's way smarter than he appears to be.

>> No.9283112

no.

is it one shill that keeps spamming /lit/....or is there a team?

>>9283098
I was not overly impressed by his little lectures, but Peterson does seem knolwedgeble when he talks about Jung and Nietzsche, and claims to have put an obsessive amount of work in this book concerning those particular authors.

So when >>9283001
said it was complete shit it surprised me. I'll give it a try either way.

Sounds like you guys prefer sophists to people who try to articulate their ideas as clear as possible desu

>> No.9283346

>>9283316
Why do you say that? I did say se seemed knowledgeable on certain topics, it's just that it wasn't as insightful as I thought it would be. Also, I was expecting a pretentious Zizek-like character with a canadian accent, instead I got a normal sounding professor who was a bit corny at times.

>i was expecting zizek
>sounds like you prefer sophists
Seems pretty self-explanatory.

>> No.9283363

>>9283352
It's not like I prefer Zizek, it's just that he's more like what you'd expect from people who meme their way into relevance through e-fame.

If you guys are expecting this to be some Christian romp I don't think you actually understand his views on religion
