The astonishing thing is how major mainstream media platforms, publishing companies etc have given this man all the rewards and platforms you might expect them to give an actual great thinker. Actually not astonishing, entirely predictable.

This is genuinely so bad, he can’t even answer basic questions from budding teen atheists lmfao. It’s like that scene in game of thrones when all the children ganged up and stabbed grand maester pycelle to death

He only exists because of our reactions. Treat him as a threat, and he'll paint himself as St Joan. See him as a nitwit and he may go away.
His views on masculinity are very damaging to young men and he inevitably fails to meet his own standards.
Because I agree.
The suspicion is that many media outlets have lost subject experts capable of critical analysis, in favour of reporters who's job is merely to repeat soundbites in a click-friendly way.
He may not have understood it at first, but he was repeatedly informed that the key basis for his objection was false, but he kept on repeating that lie whilst cosplaying a right wing martyr/principled free speech warrior in order to develop that grift & book audience.
JP: Define belief
Kid: What you think is true
JP: Define truth
And this is what passes for heavyweight intellectualism in the right wing wankosphere?
🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
Which of these two do you think understands the others paradigm? I'm not talking about if they agree with it or not just are they capable of modelling what the other is saying in terms of where they are saying it from.

"Define fuckwit"
"Jordan Peterson"
"Um...."
But here it is disingenuous and obfuscatory.
I think Peterson operates in a world where he just takes the limited facts in front of him and runs ahead with them at break-neck speed on pure logic.
That is why he is able to sound convincing and also why he smacks into walls like this fairly often.

Conspiracy theorist podcast bros are dumb as rocks, so glad to see them exposed.
This man pretends to have any real wil power, when he went to Russia for a highly controversial therapy that almost killed him, just to get off the benzos.
And on top of that he promotes his daughter insane meat diet, the man is nothing but a slick talking fool.
But I would pay good money to egg his house.
It's a moral failing of mine that I'm going to work on... right after I egg the creep's house.
Stock his books but stop ramming him down our throats
He is an ignorant fraud and deserves derision.
…there’s nothing there.
And red-pill bro’s fall for it Every Single Time.
