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.

    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

      I sometimes wonder if this era will be noted by future historians to be a definitive age of cults of personality. It isn't just :peterson-pill-dinner: . There's Q*non and the staggering number of :grillman: following it and the richest and worst of the influencers/streamers along with the :my-hero: treat-cult and Joe Rogan and Sam Harris and of course :trump-anguish: and so many, many more, and all of them have fanatical followers that have a few things in common, including the belief that everyone is lying to them and that all information is falsified except what comes from the cult of personality.

              That could be written by anyone born from 1970 to 1990 or so that had a front row seat of the prelude, took the time to write what happened and what is happening in the present, and is fortunate enough to not die in a death camp in the next decade or so. :doomer:

                  I am only half joking when I say I am glad I got my novel trilogy done now rather than later. :this-is-fine:
