Until?
Is thay why he's now insisting on donations?
He doesnt insist on donations.
Check his Twitter account
He's a con man
Laughing all the way to the cheques his followers give him
He's not asking for donations, he's advertising his book.
Not surprised since its to help people
aswell as trying to sell tickets to lectures to help people.
He also twists words very skillfully and always returns onto semantic problems to evade issues. But I guess him being well-spoken can explain his popularity, just like all those other pseudo-intellectuals which attract TV spotlight nowadays
Words such as?
I dont watch tv. It's boring.
Such as using hourly wages to talk of overall wages. He counts on the relative ignorance of the public. It's understandable since those are the same tactics his opponents (like that idiot of a journalist on Channel 4) use.
The same kind of thing Hitchens used to do
When did he use hourly wages to talk of overall wages?
Besides, seems pretty relative to me too.
However, what I do like about JBP is his psychoanalytical take on Biblical myths
That's interesting
He was providing serious work when he wrote *Maps of the Mind* as a student, now he's just binge publishing "how to be better at life" books for easy cash
Just like you see low-end philosophers like Michel Onfray do
Or he's still providing serious work
Just seems like speculation to me
*12 rules for life*?
🤔
Yes it got pretty good reviews
that's the best example of those cheap life counselling books
"how to be a good father", etc.
Seems pretty important
You can find dozens of those at the local train station
Do they explain how to as good as JP though?
I'm not complaining on a personal level
I just feel like he's wasting his time
With all those hours on youtube?
Seems like a whole life time to me.
Aswell as the lectures not recorded
it's clear that I can't convince you and you can't convince me, and I have to take a shower before leaving soon.
let's out this off for some other time
have a nice day
You too.
What were you debating?
Jordan Peterson's agenda.
Okay
