His audience loves being negged though Need a good negging to function else they can't clean their rooms
here's the article https://archive.ph/FPg5x
A lot of people have attacked me for that – I’m the stupid person’s smart person. But you know, I’m not so upset about that definition. What are they? The smart person’s smart person? And I thought you weren’t elitist. Part of the role of an intellectual is to articulate what people know but can’t say. In that sense, I’m doing my job.
In the full quote Peterson says that he knows other people have called him 'the stupid person’s smart person' but he's now using the label for himself. This is very typical 'I'm not owned' coping behavior. He wants to reframe himself as someone who is humble instead of it being that only stupid people think he's smart.
"The role of a smart person is to articulate the unexamined emotional impulses of people"
"To confront and examine them, right?"
"Yesssss....."
I mean there's levels to that,
If I think a movie is bad but can't say why, then reading a movie review that talks about why said movie is underwhelming will help me figure it out. I don't like marvel movies because they're like amusement park rides (Scorcese said this), but all i knew before that op-ed was that i didn't like them. But I like to know why I don't like things.
Peterson is clearly the edgy-cishet-comedian type of telling it how it is, but like many Peterson quotes this isn't bad out of context, but bad when he says it because of who he is. Washing your penis is also good advice, but when Peterson says it you know it's going to go back to tradition/hierarchies/chaos/stupid-Jung-archetypes/FEEEEEMALES, etc.
Also telling that he probably doesn't know why he's a dumb-guy's smart person, he probably thinks he's actually insightful even though he's not cited too often in his actual field he got a PhD in, and isn't a real philosophy prof to get to write about indecipherable Jung stuff like Zizek gets to write about Lacan.
The paintings, he explained, were an aide-memoire of the iniquities of totalitarianism and the evil of art being subordinated to propaganda. He particularly relished the irony of having bought them for a song on eBay: ‘The most capitalist platform that’s ever been invented!’ [...] the paintings [were] put in storage. ‘They got a bit depressing,’
Perfect encapsulation of rabid anticommunist boomers unable to accept that this is the timeline where they won, that they fought the cataclysmic confrontation against the red scourge and slew the dragon in defense of the homeland and the fallen world they rail against is exactly their reward.
Fuck I've said it before recently but he's so fucking boring! He sucks! He's not even an original bigot he's just repeating shit other bigots have told him. Like he's supposedly worked as a clinical psychiatrist but he pretends (actually believes?) that surgery is a first resort for any patient diagnosed with gender dysphoria. He compares "making kids trans" (i.e., not sufficiently punishing them for deviating from assigned gender) to sacrificing them to Moloch and like at that point you'd think he'd have the stones to just admit that he's a moral majority born again christian freak but he insists on cosplaying as a serious intellectual.
And like wow, you came to the conclusion that ideology is bad in the 90s? So fucking original! Not like that's the dominant message of the neoliberal project that peaked in the 90s or anything. Not like that isn't what every single lib removed with a television career has been parroting since the Berlin wall fell dude! Not like the very function of ideology itself is to draw an invisible circle and declare everything outside it "ideology" and everythign within uncomplicatedly true. Are you sure you hate Derrida?
‘There was a bit of contention during the talk. My brother said, “We don’t know what to do with you, we don’t know what to say, because there’s two of you. There’s the person we knew, and there’s whoever the hell you are now, and it’s hard for us to adapt to that.” They don’t know who the hell I am.’
Jesus Christ man
I'm sick of hearing about this guy. It's been like 5 years now and he has not developed at all. I want to hit him with the funny clown hammer.
Yes; to me, that translates out to "I am what stupid people believe a smart person would be like", the heavy undertone being that he is, in fact, not smart.
Don't abuse benzos and then get put in a coma to try and skip the withdrawal kids, not good for your brain.
His brain was already cheese way before. Just look at that chaos dragon diagram in his thesis
Maps of meaning is just a junkier version of the Golden bough, which has been entirely derided by anthropologists and classisists and every other relevant academic.
What a sad little life he carved for himself. He wanted to be prime minister and now he's just the prime minister of people who pissed in jars.
I can't think of a single cool or interesting person who likes or openly supports Peterson's ideas.
On some level he has to know how he will go down in history if he's even remembered at all: a useful idiot who enabled fascism for money.
He knows he's a loser who can only get a bit of fame by attacking people who are okay with themselves.
I mean for god's sake, it's a greater than 0% chance that his daughter tried to kill him.
He's got nothing and no one.
he’s just the prime minister of people who pissed in jars.
Incredible
His wife might still think that he's the savior of western civilization because she had a dream/vision that the world was 5 minutes from midnight and he was gonna be like Jesus 2.0
I know he has a daughter but I guess I never imagined he could find a woman to actually stay married to him. The divorced energy leaking from his pores just caused me to assume he was.
They grew up down the street from each other and have been together basically all their adult lives. :deeper-sadness:
It just goes to show the true ugliness in the lowest common denominator that the vast majority of people like this prick.
Dark core personality traits are a plague that needs to be stomped out and how dare anyone with a psychology PhD openly encourage people to embrace the dark core.
Just with the awful medical actions she took on his behalf.
You don't continue feeding your dad bacon fat and apple cider vinegar while hoping they'll stay alive.
In the Canadian conservative leadership debates, they asked a final question about books people are reading, and Poilievre mentioned 12 Rules for Life.
Poilievre is a stereotype of a Peterson reader, even pushing crypto-currency related inflation myths. And he's probably going to win opposition party leader. So you can't count JBP out completely yet sadly. I was hoping he'd disappear after the coma, but of course he got more stupid and publicity-chasing somehow.
The writers of the shitty timeline wanted to bring in his character just in case.
Peterson confirming that he holds his audience in complete disdain. It's comforting to know that all these intellectual grifters probably feel the same way about having to interact with "stupid" people.
I am the stupid person's smart person
He's not wrong. He is exactly what a stupid person thinks a smart person acts like
"gay kids are being convinced they're trangsgender" fucking christ that's the most disingenuous equivocation of sex and gender that I've seen I think. like :jordan-eboy-peterson: cares about gay people at all lmao.
straight up flexing on the pisslords that beg him to take their money
I assume he's set for life off his grift and now doesn't give a shit. As his existential depression ripens we might even get to watch him become a massive hypocrite.
youd be surprised at how often these people arent set for life.
we might even get to watch him become a massive hypocrite.
Trans JBP? Will that be his next grift?
Watch him being interviewed on YouTube and you can get the sense that he is inwardly marking the other person’s arguments for coherence, logic and semantic exactitude.
ok, this article is absolute drivel, how did they even end up at a point where he dunks on himself, it is mind boggling.
honestly a surprising amount of self awareness. he's always preaching humility but i didn't think i'd actually see him exhibit any.
Edit: he wasn't
couldn't find the article, probably fake (although he surely is)
They deleted it, it comes up in a browser search but when I clicked the link it was gone.
Yeah I knew it was somewhere in that article but couldn't be fucked to read the whole thing.
Part of the role of an intellectual is to articulate what people know but can’t say. In that sense, I’m doing my job.
pretty sure that's a demagogue, and not an intellectual you piece of shit
