The Jordan Peterson Thread - V2 -

She should feel bad...

The guy's screen name is Happiness, and I don't think I've ever seen a post of his that wasn't a frothing rage-gasm. I strongly suspect he's a troll.

I don't really remember the guy from before, but ever since Trump won the 2016 election this guy's posting has become more and more unhinged. He strikes me as a deeply unhappy person despite the username. The strange thing is he's from NZ so I'm not sure why he's so emotionally invested in US politics.

Crapping on SJW's is about as mentally strenuous as clubbing baby seals.

But this is such an over-simplification of what he does ( and just incorrect) and usually this is what leftists say to disparage arguments on the other side. He doesn't just crap on SJW's he discusses the implications of their fringe elements and is very thorough when discussing our humanity based on logic and studies. I like him because he (rightfully) pulls back our humanity into the equation which is the opposite of what SJW's do in disassociating our humanity from our ever day lives and this resonates with a lot of people.

Yeah, that's the first time I started noticing him too. And I only really noticed because of the stark contradiction between his username and his actual posting.
Dude seems a more than a little unhappy.

There are plenty of examples if you look for them. I swear the main problem with the right is they don't know how to research or source information outside of shit YouTube videos, which is probably why the right appeals to the uneducated and the narcissistic.

Besides, I don't have to prove anything to you for me to state I think the guy is trash, I honestly don't give a fuck about your opinion.

You, for example, are stunningly ignorant because you choose not to bother researching anything properly and cling to the most asinine ideas because the jusitfy your completely uneducated world-view. Maybe you don't know how to research, you certainly don't seem to understand even the most basic academic ideas.

Just another SA bigot.

You have comparable reasoning skills to the dumb splitarse in the video being discussed.

Dude makes good points, IMO. It's a bit annoying that some derpy far right wingers act like he's their poster boy and would agree with them on some the dumb shit they say though. it's also annoying that a lot of the far left are so eager to hate what he says without listening to him.

Lol, good lord! This post is truly incredible in its clueless narcissism. You may as well be saying this shit to yourself in front of a mirror in your bedroom.

Sounds like a copy and paste thing said about Ben Shapiro ... did you get a "talking points cheat sheet" from an George Soro's email ?

I assume you may be joking but there’s a certain notorious poster on this forum who, in the early Obama years would post these voluminous walls of text that read like encyclopedia entries bookended by douchy personal attacks that actually came across like ruminations of all the things he hates about himself. After a while people started to question how he could write such lengthy posts, often with only a minute between submissions. He would reply that he was just a fast typist and brag of his superior intellect. Eventually people were able to trace that this fellow was copy and pasting the vast majority of his posts back to the section of a partisan DC think tank on how to have political arguments on the internet and trying to pass off the posts as his own original thoughts.

This channel 4 interview was a good thing. I've seen buzz all around the internet about it, people being amazed at how dishonest the interviewer was. A lot of people who had never heard of Peterson now have, and I think have a firmer grasp of what's going on in terms of the left's dishonesty and poisoning of the discussion with personal attacks.

Trump winning did that to a lot of folks it seems. I follow Bill Maher on Facebook and watched his show every week but after Trump won he just went off the deep end. Now every post of his is something about trump or sharing these weird drawings from some “artist” who draws a bunch of anti-trump cartoony pictures. Sad!

I got 2nd hand embarrassment just reading this. This is the intellectual integrity of a two year old expressing why he doesn't like broccoli. Yikes!

The dude shouldn't be judged based upon what fringe groups happen to support him though. That's what a lot of people seem to be doing.

If someone hates the alt-righters and all other types of edge/memelords, that's fine. That's a perfectly rational stance to have. But to hate Jordan Peterson by extension, that's a bit of a stretch.

He has occasionally made some silly arguments, but nobody bats a thousand. I would still say that he has a lot more to offer in that regard than most of the people who latch onto him as "their voice", or who despise him for no particular reason.

People ought to reserve their dislike for those that truly aren't contributing to shit.

I think it's just a case of someone realizing that it is easier to call someone trash than it is to actually construct an argument on why they are trash.

Whenever I call someone trash, it is usually to provoke other people into replying so that I can elaborate upon those thoughts. When people are provoked and offended, they are prompted into reading posts (including walls of text) that they otherwise wouldn't have, due to a personal investment into the argument. In that sense, baiting people on the forums is sometimes necessary.

But calling someone trash without being able to offer any sort of an argument as to why, that's just pure trolling right there. Good trolling requires a distinct purpose.

The memes, the memes! This one made me laugh.



I looked at Jordan's Twitter just now and he's getting a lot of new people confronting him in his replies. They are unironically doing the 'so you're saying' thing to him as well. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone. He means what he says, stop trying to mind read him and use the most ungenerous interpretation possible of what he said.

 

[Happiness]

You shouldn't have to research anything, you're obviously aware of some glaring examples otherwise you wouldn't be so condemning. Just share it. Don't leave it hanging.
I'm not nearly as well versed on JP as most here, but I've never seen anything from him that should attract this kind of vitriol.

I am aware, but I'd have to find and link articles etc. I was curious about Peterson after he appeared on the JRE (before I stopped Subbing). His work is lazy, he cherry picks and often misrepresents studies he cites. For example, his handling of C-16 was lazy, he didn't research the law at all or he purposely lied.

I find the man truly repulsive, just a bunch of alt-right bigotry and misogyny dressed up and presented as academic inquiry. As much as the right loathes education, there are few things bigots like more than any academic who gives them cover for their base bigotry, think the bell-curve etc. That's all Peterson is.

Insightful.

Ouch, I'm hurt. Lmao.

 

[Happiness]

You claim:


Then say you can't be bothered researching to find examples of your claim because you find Peterson repugnant and boring


Then say there are many examples if you look, even though you haven't cause you don't wanna do the research and THEN say the problem with the right is that they don't know how to research or source information properly.


Mind blown.

Yawn. Look yourself.

make sure you tag me when you do. I've only recently started listening to him and I find him pretty fascinating. I'm not an alt-righter by any stretch so I'd like to know whats up before I start recommending others to view him.
