The guy's on meds. Nothing against ppl who take what they need to take but still

Ayn Rand would be proud of him lol

Bruh, he's a snake-oil salesman, forget the meds

Especially all that carnivore diet shit

"Scurvy? What's that?"
t. 21st century

For all of his faults, his series on the psychological significance of biblical allegory was well done.

I’d argue peterstein’s egoist takes read like proto-marxists like Stirner. MFer influenced Karl himself

but Stirner at least has a point with his social constructs stuff
JBP just wants money

or maybe JBP actually has a philosophical point to make, who knows. I'm too modernist for that shit.

JBP had a point back in 2015 w his takes on the gender shit lol

He hasn’t had a point since then tho

He cared just long enough until he realized the money-making opportunity

And then WHAM BAM, THANK YA MA'AM he went for it

12 rules for life is kinda basically a self-help book

which, yknow, sure, but i dont know why some people hype it so much. maybe i just dont get it

because they give the guy money

and once you give a guy money, you've got an investment in making sure he _stays_ being right

that and JBP has that whole "defender of western civilization" myth going on around him... somehow

yeah i dont get that. thats not what he even talks about mostly

This might be a worthwhile read about the man: https://aerbook.com/maker/productcard-4283759-1875.html

I enjoyed *12 Rules for Life* for what it was.

*Jordanetics* is on my list. 👀

“Humanity’s Greatest Thinker”

Cultish

Would be so much worse if it weren’t just to sell books

Talked to a coworker yesterday in fact about JBP. He brought it up in regards to Russian lit re: Solzhenitsyn. I spun my opinion to him to appear Carlson-esque (-ish? -ian?), always my goalpost if I am not among explicit pro-whites, or far left (where I can easily LARP Bernie bro). Said I think JBP is popular because of a combination of increasingly absent/inept fathers, and absurd rabid leftism that prompts all sort of reaction. I suggested that he read *all* of Solzhenitsyn's books.

I did not mention "200 years," but if he discovers it, neat. "The Gulag Archipelago" is certainly enough to make an intelligent man wary of any flavor of Bolshevism.

First woman of color president? https://youtu.be/rbH0RU4GcVo

She's got a 1/1024th% chance of being President.

@Matthias We could use a photo collage like that post you made in <#497878998949429249> .

Yup

And good album

I always figured that Jordan Peterson was popular because he is something of a father figure in the lives of quite a few young men who grew up in single parent households.

When you look at the advice he gives, it's literally the same advice my father gave me. I mean, he literally tells people to clean their rooms. Yet he charges people for it, the guy's a huckster.

This

😑

it’s OK @micbwilli, the Reaction takes many forms

Being dadless is expensive

Just got banned off twitter in a thread by that guy.

Jordan is selling you 1950s America under the delusion it isn't the seed of current year

His underlying preposition is the same as athiestic protestantism: every individual is equally likely to be moral
