    Jesus fuck I always feel the need to point out that he does not look well because he's such a wreck in general, but putting a picture of a healthy Peterson next to him makes it so much more obvious. How long between those pictures? Like, even putting aside all the jokes about Kissinger being an immortal vampire or something, he might actually outlive Jordan Peterson.

    I knew Jordan Peterson had deteriorated so quickly as to be medically significant. This shows that his can do spirit and approach to life is enough to push past even that and deteriorate at a rate that is religiously significant.

        I think the photo on the right has some skilled mortician work involved. And you say this as if him getting returned to Russia for another insane medical procedure is not exactly what I want for him. I get being eager to post crabs for him, but if they can make this even worse somehow, could you indulge our curiosity?

      So I don't really know for sure when he said it, but I see a lot of buzz around the topic of that quote around 2018-19. if that's the time frame, it's a huge decline. Let#s hope it accelerates more.

        I agree in principle, but I also feel like if the left photo is really 2019, this is like pausing Raiders of the Lost Arc during the face melting scene and saying "Let's hope his face melts more."

        He is like a Dall-E interpretation of the word "dying". There will be plenty of ghouls around in 10 years, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't include him.

          He did get on benzos and that raw meat diet and then he got off benzos via induced coma so...that#s basically what happened in Lost Arc.

    CW: Domestic violence

    This one got me heated. I’m mad.

    Those 50s housewives Peterson mentioned suffered from historic levels of depression. Perhaps having to do with the rise of the suburban lifestyle shift and the social alienation that brings. Their “comfortable secure lives” were necessarily attached to being married to a man with a career whose entire job consisted of day drinking and domestic violence. Divorce was out of the question for most women of the era. Even the term “domestic violence” wouldn’t come about until 1973 with the advent of the second-wave feminism and the Violence Against Women act wouldn’t be passed until 1994.

    So, no, Dr. Peterson, women of the 50s didn’t have it so easy and it is incredibly reductive to read the work of a feminist scholar and activist who lived through that dire period and go on to spew your ignorance about a subject you know nothing about to an audience of impressionable young male followers.

      Comfortable, secure lives of doing easily 30 hours of domestic labor each week and getting zero respect or independent income for it.

    Just get a hobby. With no car, no money, a bunch of chores, and an entire society that is suspicious of you.

      he is definitely not right, jesus. spousal rape was legal in the united states until the mid 70s. domestic violence was widespread and socially accepted. married women had little to no medical or financial independence. hiring and workplace discrimination was normal well into the 80s. what changes did happen were due to the efforts of a militant, albeit flawed movement for women's liberation. Their demands were more than simple middle class ennui.

      Like if you're going to be a feminist you have to stop confusing every woman with your own mother.

      edit: ah i got baited again
