Manosphere Jordan Peterson - Internet Daddy Simulator, Post-modern Anti-postmodernist, Canadian Psychology Professor, Depressed, Got Hooked on Benzos

I couldn't finish the joe rogan interview.

Peterson just meanders and makes horrible shallow analogies to sound smart without ever getting to the point or saying anything meaningful. I never thought very highly of him but i am fully convinced he is a moron. I guess people still want to prop him up because of his fame as le epic owner of lefties but he is pretty pathetic.
 
He had all the fillings taken out of his teeth because he believed they were a tool for mind control, presumably by Jews.
What's the source for this? Is this actually something he said or something that some journalist speculated about him?

It's pretty easy to get all sorts of wacky ideas about people if you just go by some random article only. But if that happened, yes, then you've swayed me.

He wasn't actually wrong that mercury and silver in your teeth can be a source of illness. However, he is quoted as saying, "If somebody took a filling out and put in an electronic device, he could influence your thinking." (Source: Sports Illustrated)

I mean if he really did say that, it would be a decent enough sign of schizophrenia, particularly in that time period (now we could probably do that, without much precision?). But I'm pretty sure one's view of Bobby Fischer through news articles is as accurate as it is as it would be in trying to reconstruct in 20 years time who Donald Trump was using only newspaper sources.

For example, when Fischer came back to play matches after being out of the limelight for 20 years, he both impressed with his play (even if in outdated style), that 4 times US chess champion Seirawan wrote: "After September 23 [1992], I threw most of what I'd ever read about Bobby out of my head. Sheer garbage. Bobby is the most misunderstood, misquoted celebrity walking the face of the earth."

Which may or may not be true, I'll stop deviating and let us get back to Peterson. Thanks for actually supporting it with a quote! I'll look some deeper into it.

I don't think this is true for Peterson is it? Thinking about it, Peterson has been treated relatively fairly by articles written about him, or not?

Although his shallow thought is irritating to those who recognize it, it nonetheless possesses an air of wisdom and profundity to the far more numerous average scrub who reads maybe a dozen books in his life.

The thing about public intellectuals is that they have their one gimmick which makes them "a thing" and then they never intellectually grow beyond that "thing" because
1) they spend all their time making appearances,
2) the commitment to their trademark intellectual stance compounds with time, meaning that admitting they were wrong gets harder, and
3) their livelihood is contingent upon their consistently providing the same intellectual product (albeit with minor alterations every so often so it can be re-sold to their audience), meaning that by developing as a human being they would jeopardize their public prominence and all the perks you can imagine that come from being a public figure.

The realm of public discourse only raises figures that people can easily categorize and recognize by their gimmick. This is as much the result of conscious decisions by members of the media class itself as it is the mostly-unconscious intellectual laziness of the public. Consequently, you will not find any public intellectual with any substantial depth to their work, as it by necessity must be cognitively accessible to the mouth-breathing public.
 
He isn't that badly published or cited:

His most recent top cited psychology paper is from 2016 where he's 6th author. Nearly all of his academic contributions were published before his fame. And a lot of the citations of his books and videos are on papers about him, which probably inflates his numbers a bit. That's not to discredit him as a researcher but I don't get the impression that he was very research or science focused anyway even at his most productive.
For a comparison, Keith E. Stanovich of the U of Toronto, prof. of applied psychology has had a consistent and relevant output on decent journals for about the same amount of time as Peterson and has much better metrics. Peterson focused a lot on teaching, writing books and having his private psychology practice, someone like Stanovich might just focus on doing a ton of research and teaching.

OTOH I think he's being purposefully dense on the topic of climate modelling and climate change in general. It's not something he talks extensively about but each time he mentions it in passing it's way off. He might be aware of how much he doesn't know but since he must represent that "dissident" conservative voice he word salads his way into something he's more familiar with. At least I take that before thinking that he literally isn't aware that all applied science (including psychology at its best) and engineering is based on approximations based on models, the question being how accurate and reliable these are.

Teeechnicallyyyyyyy a device in someone's tooth could influence thinking - in Germany, there was going to be "talking train windows", which would transmit advertising into people's heads when they leaned on the glass. Stage magicians use something similar to make people think they're being sent psychic messages.

To be clear I don't think it currently is happening, but it certainly seems possible, and I definitely wouldn't put it past the Cannuck "government" ...

After shit like MKULTRA, never simply assume someone making fantastical claims is crazy. It's intellectually lazy and borderline moronic.

On-Topic: In a better universe, Peterson drops the pseudo-intellectual psychology garbage and goes straight into philosophy. He'd probably never be one of the "greats", but he'd still be infinitely more interesting and useful than in this fucking faggot timeline.

After watching one stream I have random clips popping up in my recommended and I think this one shows the dichotomy between normal people and internet autist by means of Peterson references.


It's kind of interesting that Murdoch Murdoch has essentially as much recognition when talking about Peterson as Peterson himself does.
 
couldn't get through that rogan interview. Is J-peeds tryin to be David Lynch with the Tuxedo and the Weird hand movements? Also what was with the Crying during the Blues Coverband.
He cries so, so much.
It makes me extremely uncomfortable- more the extent of it, than the fact it happens. It happens all the time
 
Nah he was always a crier. Unless he damaged his brain before the whole meatbenzo soviethospital shit
I remember him getting emotional and crying occasionally before, but not as much as recently. So it might be a mix of his natural disposition that's exaggerated by the brain damage and unclean room. Perhaps failure to wash his penis has lead to an infection that made its way to his brain.

Life just isn't as fun without benzos.

The Mrs Doubtfire part got me.

I hate when one of these hags tries to do comedy and spew their uninformed nonsense. Trying to roast him for boring the audience by filling 2 hours on Rogan's podcast when it was a 4 and a half hours ordeal.

His writings are actually pretty dull and repetitive. Hierarchies are everything and chaos and order is how we handle it.
You didn't open the link, which was to a list of his actual published articles in research journals. He has over 15K citations, which is pretty impressive.

JP is insane, but someone with 15k citations in an established field is a scientist.
