He didn't know he was going to get rich doing this. All of this began last October. Did you see what he looked like in his New Year's message?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnEFt20qe0o

That was around the time when he was getting gang banged by the faculty at U of T as well. With no idea whether or not he would be teaching the following year, let alone making what he now makes.

He wasn't in it to get rich, and when his job was threatened he got more angry, not less so. The fact that he's having success now is a good thing. Rebel kicked in funds for his grad students, the Patreon is there to help him help other people as a psychologist, and now he wants to do other stuff - reform humanities education, talk to Muslim scholars, whatever else...

He's a good man. He earned that buck the hard way.

Or perhaps degrading himself thusly is Peterson's safety catch on the blind repel down to the abyss of sucking cock for money. We all have last resorts. I think this probably Peterson's. He's a reasonably smart guy who is acting dubiously senseless. I say it's for the money.

much more admirable than getting tenure from an institution with money in the stock market while indoctrinating your students with hypocritical Marxist bullshit

[Anonymous No.9593357]

He does it for status/attention.
He always but always keeps repeating how he tought at Harvard, which in reality was 1 or 2 semesters of guest lecturing, than he fucked off.

He craves attention and status. Without delving into his personal politics and beliefs, this attentionwhoring gets me the most.

I have no problem with publishing my thesis as a book and then call it off tbqh. publish or perish mentality only produces shit works.

Wew, you can find some real gems in the threads about /pol/'s heroes.

What's with that face. That hmmm aaaah yes this semi blinking looks like i make me a thinken face. Fucking fake gravitas cunt face. Is it something he consciously does for his fans who start threads on r/JordanPeterson about having dreams with him in them?

His symbolist neo-mysticism is inherently reactionary and in fact calls for a positive reassessment of pre-enlightenment beliefs and values. That is right-wing af.

What's wrong with that. Society should provide monetary incentives to encourage people to oppose them.

What's funny is that he makes money they same way American Psychiatry / Jungianism do: by pretending to be your daddy. Anyone with a healthy appreciation of Freud or Nietzsche or Marx can see why it's wrong, but works by being exactly what our infantile generation has been demanding.

This smells like another G&M bait thread, so I'll sketch it out lemmata for you.

Peterson is a Protestant and a Jungian (aka modernist). This is a french Catholic-socialist board. We neither care nor approve of this man, his work and his followers.

Peterson is NOT /lit/ approved. Start with the Greeks or fuck off.
