One of his other imperatives is 'Assume the other person has something interesting to say', which is a very clever way of saying that people who have been victims of abuse must not be rude to people who are talking total shit about it. Or, swap in whatever lived experience might make you rude and impatient when you encounter someone you disagree with; the point he's making is it's your fault if you get furious. It so obviously disparages good, honest, real people

Well, it's placing the individual and their bedroom floor as the centre of everything isn't it - it's saying the immediate little world, as opposed to the big societal world that's hard to think about, is what you should be focusing on. Which is a reactionary position - know your place in the system, don't try to change the system.
i mean, sort of. people do need to take care of themsleves; that doesn't preclude activism or whatever.

That's a good point that. The difference between Kondo and Peterson on this same point is subtle but massive. She's saying come on, let go of this junk, enjoy a bit of air and space. He's ... not saying that.

i was recently learning about the book "The Rhetoric of Reaction" on the know your enemy podcast -- Peterson uses the futility narrative in such a textbook way that it seems like the 1991 book is referring to him.

I don't know what the futility narrative is, but it did make me think of this video:

speaking of, here's a Charlie Kirk video that's been making the rounds. what's surprising is not how horrible a "debater" this guy is (his go-to move seems to be shouting "I AM A CHRISTIAN" over and over) but rather the fact that he posted this himself, I cannot imagine how diseased your brain has to be to think he comes off well here

Kirk clearly won that debate. He had a louder microphone and the patsy he was up against was ill-prepared and hadn't thought ahead and brought a bigger microphone, what did he expect? Kirk dominated this debate with an alpha performance, not just the superior equipment he had with him but his willingness to bulldoze the other guy and show who was boss.
The difference in preparation was stark. Kirk had clearly put the time in, and got himself a pretty decent looking stage. What did the other guy come with, a plaid shirt? And expected to win?
