Learned about this before i knew about peterson, because my mother spend a year in rehab over this.

I think if all you pursue is raw hedonism you end up lacking proper achievement and satisfaction

the zeitgiest rises again

Psychologists there explained the stuff peterson talked about before when it comes to neurotic behavior etc

Yeah thats true catallaxis

Im aware most women do not identify with them

The black pill is that no matter who wins the culture war, the next generation of awful authoritarian moralists will arise again and the cycle will repeat.

thats certainly true

today the awful moralists are the left

perhaps 10-20 years ago it was the right

about 10 years ago u had them on the streets during the obama election

I don't think it's a black pill

but nobody takes them serious not even people on the right

they gotten over that period

the left is still in the period of pandering to them

You have a baseline purpose in the west: fucking up annoying moralizing busybodies

i was 10 years old 10 years ago so,

as sargon of akkad would put it

man ive been subbed to sargon since 2013 its been a wild ride with him

we used to have people saying that if you didnt support the PATRIOT Act and the War on Terror you hated freedom and were "unAmerican"

hes been a doomsayer regarding the left before everyone else

oh yeah the bush years

now we have people saying if you like Capitalism you're a Fascist

like i said, its not that long ago

and things can move quickly

and dont mistake it for the "middle" either

i wonder if obama will be known for overseeing the rise is rabid leftism

it got so fucking bad between 2009-2017

either side of us is not "Fascism" and "Socialism", they're rival groups fighting for access to the same recruiting pool

eh yeah i suppose i kinda started to wake up to the bullshit around 2012

Obama was Bush 2.0 tbh

i was like 15 and i was already ready to fight the leftists

continued and expanded surveillance, continued and expanded the destabilization of the middle east, continued to dump money into social programs that didnt work and made the issues worse

and his supporters had excuses for why critics were doubleplus ungood

hehe

today my favorite commentator tho is peterson, i feel that he tackles the ideas at the very fundamental level, whereas most others tackle the surface level issues

Peterson is focused on personal growth as an outlet of wider social change

im so glad sargon showed me jordan peterson for the first time, it was magical

it was 2016 or something

I certainly gained stuff from peterson but most of what he talks about i already knew from the time i spent with a pscyhologist years before

contrary to what the media says
