Dr Jordan B Peterson
I listen to Dr Peterson often, mostly on Daily Wire but I can't post those links here since you'd have to be a Daily Wire subscriber to access them
I did like this fierce shot he had at the WEF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqayBb0lqgw Many despise him for the wrong reason, in my view his head is screwed on properly and it shows with his daughter if I compare him to Biden and his son

I have a great deal of time for Jordan Peterson. I read his 12 Rules For Life book, and while I wasn't 100% on board with everything, I thought it showed a path to mature happiness that could be amazingly helpful to many.
He is (naturally) demonised by many on the left, particularly the gender hucksters but others too. It's a shame because his detractors have much to learn from him to put their own lives into context and order. Rush, back bacon and Jordan Peterson are the top 3 Canadian exports. Closely followed by Bob & Doug. |

Peterson is a grifter.
https://youtu.be/XXwUaUf_pOs Most of what he says is "Pseudo Profound Bullshit" (PPBS), a term academics developed to describe things that sound clever but are in fact extremely obvious or just nonsense. In other words he's just better at writing self help books full of obvious advice than the average word factory author. His supposedly profound philosophy is basically what he claims to hate - post modernism. A great example of his PPBS is this recent clip: https://www.indy100.com/celebrities/...ion-meme-video He questions the meaning of the words "do", "you", and "happen". For a guy who claims to understand pronouns and language, he seems to be struggling with words the average 4 year old has mastered. Of course, the real reason he does that is to avoid the question by spouting some nonsense that certain demographics will interpret as him being so far above the level of thinking of the interviewer as to have deconstructed her question and her use of the English language, but which most of us see for what it is - bullshit. |

Peterson's "up yours woke moralists, we'll see who cancels who" was the best meme of 2022. That was in response to Twitter suspending him, because he's obsessed with trivial bullshit of his own making.

Ironically, that's something he regularly argues for too. People's behaviour should be shaped by "consequences" for misbehaviour, especially women. Just not people called Jordan Peterson, obviously. |

You say that like memes are as important to clever people. In general, we really couldn’t care less. We take substance over silliness every time.

Some of the complaints were the He retweeted the Candian opposition leader He said that climate data was not correct Being a critic of the current Canadian PM and so on ...... Shit like that, none of them had anything to do psychology It stinks of leftist silencing by the current Canadian PM.
