The Jordan Peterson Thread

I am deriving a lot of joy from his very apparent suffering tbh

Such an odd guy to be so famous

He's so creepy. And 'I'm not taking anti-depressants' - perhaps he should be; he does not come across as a person who has it all together.

he fucking dumb as a post.

genuine lol @ fifty pounds

Not looking forward to the conspiracy theories after he dies of scurvy

Every generation needs its edgelords. Some just happen to be more underwhelming than others.

these people are all insane

the complete lack of any kind of charisma is astonishing, also i fret for whoever has to clean his bathroom and handle his gravy reeking bedsheets

if you were minded to adopt one of these diets like carnivores and fruitarians etc where you literally only eat one food, what would be the healthiest (or least unhealthy) food to choose?

broccoli

dead-eyed crazy of the northlands

Yeah. You could probably do alright with all broccoli.

A friend lived on porridge with raisins for months at a time, so maybe that.

that's two kinds of food!

You could do rice and beans plus broccoli and water

I’ll bet that would be an ok if boring diet

Two ingredients, but one dish. How strict are the rules of this game?

He didn't use milk in the porridge basically due to laziness

someone should convince Jordan Peterson to give up water

bit of googling seems to suggest potatoes are your best bet

or possibly breast milk

lol what potatoes have barely any protein and are woefully deficient vitamin-wise, they're almost all starch

Vitamin C in the skins, Keith

this is not my professional opinion fyi

Maybe he can kill a dairy cow and drink the milk while he's eating the raw flesh?

I guess "cow" counts as one ingredient...

I guess the theory is that potatoes contain all the essential amino acids which is where you'd be scuppered with other foods. Obviously vitamin and mineral deficiencies would be an issue

Some people at Stalingrad just ate clay from the ground for months and somehow managed to survive

tbf some people at Stalingrad ate people

someone should convince Jordan Peterson to give up water

PLEASE tell me you've all seen the article about the ppl who refuse to drink water cause it grosses them out

anyway "pick only one food to survive on" would be a fun poll

he really will get scurvy if he eat meat and absolutely nothing else. he reaaallly does not want scurvy.

Eggs

bananas, esp if this includes savoury bananas

Rainwater and pure grain alcohol

Mosquitoes

Professor-Doctor Jordan B Peterson's introduction to The Gulag Archipelago is up on (of course) Quillette, if you want to claw your own eyes out. I imagine @PenguinBooks will end this month a little bit richer and a lot more ashamed than they were last month pic.twitter.com/rx9Q9tHsHi

The Sun does have much better reproductive opportunities than poor planet Earth

everything is unequal therefore that is how it should be; only the west is unequal because others have no wealth; adam smith's invisible hand is a judeo-christian tradition

I like this guy. I don't agree with everything he says, but he gets me to think about some esoteric shit.
He's like a well read stoner who's always like, "what about this..."

I don't think he makes himself out to be a know-it-all. He's always saying "I don't know... I think it might be this..."

what do you agree with

Considering the quality of your life, for one.

it's true, no one else in human history has encouraged us to contemplate the mysteries

Wow I bet all the other self help grifters are kicking themselves for not coming up with that one

I love that he suggests that it's to be expected to have some anxiety and fear and that life can be hard, and that one might want to be more aggressive and in the driver's seat to get by better.

Unlike self help grifters, I don't think he pushes a method.

this is a thoroughly banal observation, though, and available to you from countless other sources that aren't misogynists, transphobes, and dietary weirdos

Bullshit, except maybe the diet stuff.

I look around at the world today and think yanno what's missing? needs to be more people being aggressive
