      Karl Marx said everyone has to have the same quantity of copper goods, that was, like, his main thing.

      You know that whole "a dumb persons idea of a smart person" thing?

      That's Jordan Bernt Kermit Peterson.

      His doctorate was in psychology, which is why he can get really in depth when talking about Carl Jung, but with anything else his commentary is just vibes.

      Yeah, the opening line of the manifesto confirms it.

      "The hitherto history since just about right now is the history of class struggle, and not anytime before this."

      Oh, but he has (or at least claims to have) read The Gooolag Archipelago, so that obviously makes him an expert on the subject of gommulism.

    Could I get some simple examples of the Pareto principle?

    I googled but the results were a copypasta orgy of crap...

    80% of muscle gain is built by 20% of the repetitions.

      That's basically it. It's just "80% of x is caused by 20% of y" or vice versa. It's not a real principle, just a thought terminating cliche.

      Glancing at the Wiki page, it seems like it comes from this dude realizing "Whoa. In Italy 80% of the land is owned by 20% of the population" and that being used to create this "principle" to apply to other things.

      A reasonable person might ask "Damn why is land ownership so messed up?" To which the economist replies "Well clearly it's just the natural state of the world."

      20% of my ass produces 80% of the doo doo.

      It's useful because in 20% of work I can get 80% of a good result. That's usually good enough, so 80% of the day i do fuck all

      20% of alcohol drinkers consume 80% of the alcohol. I actually believe that one, used to be in the 20%

    Whenever anyone talks about Marx, Peterson thinks they all mean the raven-maned crooner, Richard Marx.

    Jordan just cannot understand why, when none of his albums mention capital or economic theory.

    Imagine if these principles weren't just observations but actual laws that the universe obeys. Like sorry, the stock market isn't allowed to go up right now- it's against the Rainbow Law of the Stock Market. Better luck next time!

    Yes, let's forget all about all the evidence of the existence of egalitarian societies like the Indus valley civilization and cherry-pick a single example of extreme prehistoric inequality as "evidence" of why a few ghouls should own anything. If anything, history teaches that there is no "natural" way to organise society and production.

    This is precisely the same manipulative bullshit as his original lobster nonsense.
