JP checked himself into rehab for anti anxiety meds, so whatever that means for a person giving life advice

He has been going into lion's dens

clonazepam, which is a benzo

lol

Touring and debating must be tiresome, and he is in a way very neurotic. He has a track record for not being at ease

so I empathise

like i said earier, he brought it on himself by going that route, and i think he's a bit of a showman and charlatan so it's hard fo rme to sympathize with that

I won't even get into the whole "whose pain is worse" thing as a vet, etc

Maybe he shouldn't have taken the meds

tough it out like a person with strong character as he preaches

take the meds if they help, but especially if you are going to try and sell self help books

I firmly believe that learning to cope is important

especialyl considering the TOPIC of his talks and etc

Then there was his situation in court where he got thrown out as an 'expert' witness

you cannot naively live with everything handed to you on a silver plate because you complain. Own up

that shit was hilarious

learning to cope is important, more important is learning and RESPECTING your limitatinos

Amen. We cannot simply redefine

I might identify as a sexy man, but if I do not own the factors that make me so and if I do not behave in a way that builds myself into it, I will not be perceived as such

and it's me who is to blame

you cannot prescribe what others do unto yourself

it's out of your circle of control

thats' from the court case

so i mean, how may passes does a guy like that get

So he used a lackluster method for personality assessment?=

that is a bit reckless

that's from a murder trial i believe

he was thrown out as an expert witness

yup, murder trial

so imagine if he had conned his way to get his testimony admitted, somebody could have gone to jail or whatever

Best to just take his input it and draw your own conclusions, but that's not enough if you're an expert, I assume

to even insert yourself into a situation like that just shows what kind of person he is

What did he have to gain?

same shit he gained by getting invovled in c16

how much did his patreon make a month at one point?

70k a month?

Lots, like that

@Auspexel Like sh0t said before, ignore his commentary on philosophy and focus on his psychology. That's his expertise since he studies the field of course, I suggest picking up maps of meaning, that book is decent.

Me and Peterson differ greatly, I'm a collectivist whilst he is an individualist, so there isn't anything that I particularly like about him. His understanding of postmodern philosophy and marxism is very bad, as was shown in his debate with Zizek and highlighted in the reddit thread as well.

that debate with zizek was horrible, from both of them

It was bad.
