JBP has got u bro

One of my favorite examples of Jordan Peterson stupidity is when he was lecturing about some ancient civilization artwork that showed two serpent creatures creating humanity. He said that because the snakes were drawn in a double helix that this ancient civilization knew about and wanted to represent DNA.

Snakes coil around one another in a double helix when they mate. The snake creatures in the art were just fucking.

Is he the guy that went to Russia for coma treatment?

I see a lot of people here talking about how unpersuasive his arguments are. So I think this misses the real issue at hand. Countless young men do find him persuasive. They feel abandoned by everyone else and there is this man who comes along and convinces them he knows "the way". Talking about how "unconvincing" his arguments are won't stop this from happening. If anything it will impower in-group type thinking. It's much more important that we tackle these problems at their source: combat the emotional abandonment of young men

Mom: clean your room

Teen: shut up femoid!

JP: you need to clean your room to slay the dragon of chaos

Teen: OMG so true!

I used to like him. I fell for the crap. To my 16 year old brain what he said made a lot of sense. He had a handful of good points, and it made me believe the rest of the shit he peddled.

I see him now, I look back on how I hung onto his words like a lost lamb, and I can only facepalm.

I realised that the only thing he is good at is marketing, not psychology...

It's the worst kind of job. Taking advantage of developing teens and their self-issues to make money like that.

Never take advice on personal responsibility from a guy who intentionally put himself in a coma to avoid taking responsibility for his addiction to a narcotic with zero medicinal properties.

He is such a disappointment to me. Early Peterson was just a clinical psychologist who actually gave a shit about men’s mental health. You could filter out his religion and actually get something out of it. Then he turned into… something else.

Most of his fans have never really read his more academic works (like the one with the grandma sex dream). So, I guess they like his vibe. But his vibe is weepy alcoholic. What's so great about that?

Oh god, this is so embarassing for us as a society. Young men look for guidance, and all they find is Rape Tate who tells you to be an alpha male by just being obnoxiously "superior" to others.
John Peanutbutter who tells you to be an alpha male but with science in your brain
fresh and fit who tell you to be alpha males but by figuratively just shaming women
and on the opposite side you have nothing for a while and then you have destiny and hasan who try to make you debate like highschoolers.

Is the world just full of grifters now?

He's so smart and articulate! Yeah, if you ate lead paint chips as a kid, or decided that huffing glue as a past time was a great idea.

Why is it that the cringiest fucking weebs like this guy? Does the suit give him some sort of weird dominion over them? These losers should be case and fucking point as to why you need Critical Thinking classes in schools....and it should also fucking highlight why Republicans are desperately trying to make public schools systematically dumber. A generation of highly educated people is detrimental to the conservative ideology (unless your making literally millions of $$$).

I hate it when people bitch about the left "not having gurus to help lost young people" or whatever when the right's so-called gurus are worthless sacks of skin like Peterson. Also I'm here because I - in very emphatic terms - do not want a guru.

"Lifestyle coaches" are almost entirely facets of reactionary cryptofascist bullshit, and that sucks.

I would have appreciated if the bottom right panel said "Hold my benzos" instead.

I just want to say that if you are/were a young man, and found some value in some of what this guy was saying to you...thats's OK. Don't feel bad, or embarrassed or mad at yourself or whatever. We are all learning all the time, and doubly so when we're young. Never think that you can't take what is useful and reject what isn't. Fuck knows there is plenty to reject about what this dude says!

I'd probably say Andrew Tate is closer to that.

Haven't heard about him in ages. I just assumed Joe Rogan had nicked his audience.

This kind of post is what I was hoping to leave behind with Reddit.

I get that Gus Fring look every time I hear "Hey, have you heard of Jordan Petersen? Let me show you one of his videos"

I can help you as well. Just turn to Hedonism, which is pretty much the opposite of what Jelly B Peanutbutter tells you to do.
Quit your job, become an artist. Heck, become a twitch streamer, I don't care. Try to do what brings you joy. And remember to eat the rich.

Thank fuck I'm 38.

I like how every year he somehow gets worse. I didn't think he could descend further from professor so annoying he refuses to call students by their preferred names. After the Zizek debate where he had no clue what he was talking about, he's become like a Charles Dickens character. He's like a crazy uncle kept in the attic because he's lost his mind from laudanum.

I listened to him for a little bit and sounded sensible, but I see a lot of people hate him and sounds like he found some fans and double down and a shit show to cater to them. I don’t know enough to have an opinion lol

You can probably get a better understanding of how the world works by reading this sad sack:

Like anything than JBP - PLEASE

Att least before his drug auxin, he wasn't that bad and there were some alright takeaways between the lines.

Now it's just sick ramblings from a diseased man.

Don't forget a mountain of benzos.

It depends on what you mean by guru.

I read that in his voice and even my imagination couldn't make him sound sincere.

And oh, great, now im gonna have "consider the lobster" popping into my head all day. Thanks.

Who is Jordan b Peterson?

I like jp.
