What you are going to find is a window onto how the creators of Superman saw the world.no, you are going to find a window into how an abusive freak with a deep terror of his own body and id interpreted the whims of children in his neighborhood of whom he asked yes/no questions about gorillas, and through that filter gave orders to the authors

does he even know that superman isn't a man. maybe "women" just prefer aliens to men (or aliens disguised as them)

Peterson has misread Superman.
I greatly doubt if Jordan Peterson has any knowledge of Superman, other than knowing the main characters' names and a smattering of vague impressions. It's not like he is writing a thesis on this subject. He's just lazily pontificating, like always.

I don't know about that. He brings Superman up kind of a lot
― rob, Sunday, 22 August 2021 18:14 (two years ago) link
Does he demonstrate any deeper knowledge than I indicated? I haven't read any Superman comics for 55 years and even I know that Clark Kent never cried in them and wasn't given to expressing his emotions. He was, to coin a phrase "mild-mannered", not weepy.

I feel like JP's read neglects to remember who actually created Superman, and what it means for the woman to reject the repressed uptight Kansas Protestant type in favor of the man who proudly announces himself as a representative of an older and wiser, albeit slightly alien, race

Jung was a more erudite, more insightful proponent of the same spiritualist impulses that drove the rise of theosophy and made heroes of wilhelm reich and gurdjieff. compared to much older traditions like Buddhism, Carl's just a babe in the woods.

Haha sorry no offense!
The Personality Brokers is good, though it's turning out to be more straightforwardly biographical than I expected, at least at the halfway mark. The subject is relevant to my phd research (as historical background), but it's a pretty breezy summer read on that scale. If I didn't occasionally feel obliged to take notes on it, I probably could have whipped through it in a few days
― rob, Sunday, 22 August 2021 21:28 (two years ago) link
If you're not aware of how Jungianism is bullshit, Cass Eris has an hour-long youtube video on Jung, and she's taught Jung to students in introductory university classes. She also spends way too much time and effort breaking down Peterson's crap. I've heard that Richard Noll's The Jung Cult is the book to read if you need more.

I assume "wordcel" means someone who cares about pronouns? god, I have no idea with this guy. half the tweets/quotes I see from him these guys are so over-the-top weird that I assume they're fake. but they're not. and yet people I work with still quote him.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/wordcel
Wordcel is a slang term derived from incel used to define someone who has high verbal intelligence and is "good with words" but feels inadequately compensated for their skill, the "cel" suffix denoting frustration over being denied something they feel they deserve. The term rose in popularity in early 2022 along with the related term "numbercel," also called "mathcel" or "shape rotator," used to define someone with high command in a technical STEM field but feels they deserve more respect for it. Wordcels and numbercels are often portrayed as rivals.
For fuck's sake.
― peace, man, Thursday, 3 February 2022 16:33 (two years ago) link
so "inadequately compensated" means "can't get laid" right? these are variants on incel but with certain supposed specializations? and now they are fighting it out against each other?
also, I like how frogbs interpretation, while not correct, seemed utterly plausible too

Lmao “fork and spoon operator”. It all boils down to…Could also be a subset of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.
