re: Jordan Peterson doodles while debating a BBC female journalist

it's an ad hom meme

ever since the incel stuff became popular with the anti-JP crowd, and when peterson discussed it, they attack him as a savior of a bunch of rejects who are paying him tons of money every month via his patreon. it's a way to attack him by making anyone who follows him seem extreme and crazy (a guilt by association)

Is there another copy of the video somewhere? it says it was deleted.

for all of the arrogance exuded by this guy and people like him, it's ironic that this tactic is so widespread among their discussions, as such a tactic could only ever work on simpletons.

Damn, it does. I can't find another clip of that exact segment anymore so I'll just send the whole interview.

Even putting aside his hierarchical stuff that these loons attach their self-worth to, I still don’t find much of what Peterson has to say in the self-help realm to be innovative or interesting. It’s mostly really generic self-improvement maxims that you can find in probably a dozen other books.

Rule 1 Stand up straight with your shoulders back

Common body language trick. “Look good, play good”

Rule 2 Treat yourself like you would someone you are responsible for helping

This is just another way to describe self-care

Rule 3 Make friends with people who want the best for you

I actually prefer to befriend people that seek to undermine me at every pass but sure

Rule 4 Compare yourself with who you were yesterday, not with who someone else is today

I feel like I could attribute this as a quote to Wayne Gretzky or Ghandi and no one would bat an eye

Rule 5 Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them

Ok sure

Rule 6 Set your house in perfect order before you criticise the world

Let he who lives in a glass house cast the first stone ~~

Rule 7 Pursue what is meaningful (not what is expedient)

But I like doing what is expedient because it’s generally easier!!

Rule 8 Tell the truth – or, at least, don’t lie

Thanks, Jordan

Rule 9 Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don’t

Listen to people, to learn things

Rule 10 Be precise in your speech

*Kermit the Frog voice* My mother, the dragon of chaos energy, was quite the surly broad

Rule 11 Do not bother children when they are skate-boarding

Be the cool parent!

Rule 12 Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street

I absolutely will

I think everyone understands that two parent households work out better.


Why on earth would anyone want that "enforced" by some third party?

You can tell, because the average American has no clue who he is yet every large left-leaning media outlet in the country is devoting disproportionate effort toward disparaging him.

I think eventually if they can't break him or cause some type of backlash upon him they will eventually just ignore him.

The late night hosts and left leaning websites will find random right slanted YouTube videos and make fun of them, or they'll pick the low hanging fruit like Alex Jones and Fox News. But you never really see them mention Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Dave Rubin, etc because they don't want to open that door and give them more exposure.

I think Peterson will eventually get to that point when they realize they won't break him.
