The Jordan Peterson Thread

was really hoping there'd be a "Brace B." in there

Where the focus is on learning and growth I suppose. I don't really know how that would work. I can barely even conceptualize it.

Some kind of a safe... space... for JBP discussion

very funny conversation between two young women sitting opposite each other on the tube the other day. One leaned forward and pushed the Standard under the other's nose and said, 'Look'. Other looks down at an article with a picture of Jacob Rees-Mogg in his fucking top/silk hat etc and says 'Who the fuck's that?'. Other one goes, 'You know it's that bloke you were going on about today.' Looks at picture again, 'What? Who is it? I've no idea who that is.' 'You *know* Jacob thingy, Rees-Mogg'. 'Literally, never seen him before... Oh hang on wait, do you mean Jacob Peterson?' 'Oh *yeaaaaah* that's who I meant' 'Yeah, Jacob Peterson, and his name's not Jacob it's Jordan.' They both start pissing themselves laughing. But,' (gestures at pic) 'that's not him, he's some other dickhead.'

our boy drinks some cider, is allegedly felled by feelings of impending doom for an entire month due to ‘sulphites’ in the beverage, joe rogan of all people seems skeptical

definitely not some kind of mental breakdown, oh noes

25 days without sleeping, you say

Throughoot humanity's existence, there's been a deep understanding, it can be seen in some of our foundational mythoalogies, that consumption of apple proaducts precedes a dire fall of some kind.

maybe he just forgot to clean his room

There’s no good reason for me to link this but it’s my local alt-weekly and I’m not going to suffer alone here.

can already tell that's a winner from the great-faith headline

the url is like acid in my eyes

drinking a glass of cider during a meat-only diet seems insane, like breaking your Atkins with a funnel cake

Her previous article was about how Democrats need to stop using “abolish ICE” as a slogan.

i read some of that link unfortunately and now i long to be consumed by hellfire

"Okay, he's an overgrown, petulant child who doesn't know what words mean. But he's not a racist. He's just sort of indirectly saying a racist thing!"

But Peterson’s point (and you can watch him yourself) wasn’t that gay people are unfit to parent; it’s that children are better off with both male and female role models in their lives. This, frankly, doesn’t seem all that homophobic to me (and I'm actually a homosexual):

ur a cop

sorry sorry i'm trying to unpost it

anyone who hasn't watched the contrapoints video on JP - it really is a cleansing force

I agree that he should be provided as many platforms as possible to be an idiot on

Katie Herzog is a terfy concern troll waste of column inches and since she hasn’t been laid off from the stranger yet she must get along with Dan Savage which is itself a sign of weak character

I would like the Stranger to go out of business as soon as Heidi Groover gets a better job.

a friend in durham sent this article about his condemnation by the durham city council and oh my god what a fuckin dweeb he is

"City of Durham’s statement is one of the purest demonstrations I have yet seen of the tendency for the ideologically possessed to use denouncement tactically as a means to amplify and exaggerate personal or identity-group virtue. To lay this bare, I have composed this analysis of the psychological motivations and narrative structure of the statement."

real talk, you should try and troll this asshole in twitter instead of sharing his article

was she named after the t. rex song or did t. rex write the song about her

To lay this bear, I have composed

now I know how to begin my JP gay erotica novel

I’m doing that as we speak xp

She accused me of not caring about incels

lmao

Lest we forget, he had a complete breakdown off some cider.

JP has written the preface for the reissue of Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago:

https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1049544/the-gulag-archipelago/9781784871512/

of course he has

On brand that he would want to write it. The question is why Penguin would publish.

gulags are officially good now

peterson's soviet fetish is... unsettling to me

maybe he should do The Man Without Qualities too

The ‘why’ is pretty clear - people doing the introductions are credited as co-authors, and come up as such, on Amazon.

damn glad i have an unsullied copy

gdi

lol aren't they supposed to be socialists

marxists, to be exact

JP’s whole thing is literally “Marxism is evil and murderous ideology” and I don’t remember Laetitia ever having a Corgan goes on InfoWars moment so it’s really confusing.

She's involved with all that Living Marxism/Spiked lot who are basically Libertarian trolls.

Ditto the (former) singer with Pram (see ILM ad nauseum).

Imagining Peterson vs. Stereolab as a right vs. left thing is wrong and pointless. Sadier's lyrics contain plenty of sympathetic common ground with the likes of Peterson.
