peterson seems to be coming back with a slight rebranding as this angry indignant dude, which i guess he always was, but like he just seems SO bitter lately it's insane. dude needs to drink a glass of water or something.

        no, i take that back, this could be seen as an actionable threat bc there's a not insignificant risk that this causes him to have a stroke

    His original branding was as a calm and rational man who, when his rights were being infringed upon, would become indignant and exude a controlled anger, a true terror to be reckoned with. No one seemed to care that he was going full Primordial Dragon of Chaos over being asked to stop misgendering his students. Like you’d watch his lectures and he was this “thoughtful intellectual” who really cared about what he was saying. It’s hard to argue that he’s not a skilled orator. But then the video of him speaking to counterprotesters in that way that cis men get when they want to express anger and show strength but not be labeled as emotional or out control.

        I’m not saying he’s a good, logical lecturer with well-reasoned arguments. I’m saying his lectures are very affective. I find the same to be true of a lot of preachers. There’s a reason people like him and it’s not because his arguments are just really profound or something, although it probably feels like they are, which is the point

      i remember seeing him on the australian 'political' panel show q&a, which is mostly major party politicians shouting at each other, the television manifestation of that chomsky quote about encouraging loud and vigorous debate within a very narrow spectrum. it was a real insight into the guy

      he had two main counterlocutors - one who fit the stereotype of the sjw at the time (i think it was van badham), who went with the loud and angry lib outrage approach and played completely into his hands, his whole schtick was that he was good at playing the calm, rational, logical, professorial male against the shrill sjw feeeemoids who only run on emotion and get loud and angry when they cant counter his facts and logic, and the sleight of hand is that amongst all this theatre you dont notice that everything hes saying in his calm authoritative tone is complete nonsense. she was right on what she was saying but i guarantee she absolutely lost the debate in the eyes of 99% of people watching

      and the second was some (female) labor party shitkicker of all people, who went with the approach of "oh you poor wounded creature, see what awful things the patriarchy is doing to our poor men and boys that they end up as sad little angry men like this, tell me about who hurt you" and it absolutely flummoxed him and got him completely riled up, it was really funny to see the calm rational facade fly off and scared angry kermit emerge just by someone refusing to play along

    lol, amazing that you would prescribe twelve rules for life, and none of them would be an admonishment to log off, or, at the very least, an admonishment to not post 30 minute videos, begging to be allowed to log in.

      lmao remember like a year ago when he announced that twitter was full of filth and mean nasty people so he was taking the high road and logging off forever and was giving his account logins to his personal assistant to ensure he stayed strong

      who could have seen this coming

      edit: lol and i just remembered this particular episode that led him to decry the nastiness of twitter was set off because people responded angrily when he decided to fatshame a swimsuit model

    An ancient coworker of mine's suddenly into :jordan-eboy-peterson: talking about how he's so knowledgeable, how he's got Hyperthymesia and can debate religious leaders from around the world and own them in their own theology, how he's been described as messianic in that his work is helping saving western culture

    And I'm sitting here listening to him like:huh:

    And by ancient I mean he's married to the daughter of a former nazi general-rehabilitated-turn-federal-justice ancient

      Nah, he was a pretty normal looking dude back in 2017 or whatever. I think the combination of his dumb fad diet, drug abuse, and questionable treatment of said drug abuse really did take a toll on him.

          ive never argued about this. all i know is that they wouldnt do it at his preferred hospital so he traveled across the world to find someone who would agree with him, a dumbass, about the procedure he wanted done. doesnt give me much confidence :shrug-outta-hecks:

          He wanted help getting off benzos, and all the normal hospitals told him that a treatment plan to wean off to avoid the seizures in the first place was a better idea.

          He ignored this and went to get a coma in Eastern Europe. Even if a coma can be effective for seizures, he could've checked himself into a rich people rehab site which give him controlled dosages.

              He tried to wean himself off the benzos at several rehabs in the US and Canada and that didn't work for him (my guess is that he couldn't go through with this because it doesn't jive with his bootstrapping ideology, but that's guesswork on my part). During one of these stays, he also contracted pneumonia - which he still hadn't recovered from when he went to Russia. That likely contributed to him suffering hypoxic brain damage while they put him under.
