I wish Jordan Peterson wasn't such a pussy sometimes lol

It's a shame Jordan Peterson isn't really open to trying psychedelics and views them as 'dangerous.' Although, I think hes just afraid of being open about it on here.

Lol

His whole life is fear based. What else can you expect from such an ego?

Fear is his whole organizing principle and same for his fanboys. They are frightened children trying to act macho without any awareness of what is driving them.

I think Jordan Peterson turned me off from wanting to be a Personal Development teacher myself.

The ego don't like getting its reality undermined. Of course. And so what? Who said you have to like everything you encounter?

He is not a personal development teacher. He's a squirrely academic.

First rule of personal development: Don't take self-help advice from academics.

I agree.  He is fighting his own demons.

I still don't understand how can Jordan Peterson speak so clearly?

He is so coherent.

He speaks with excellency.

Why can't I speak like him?

Or what should I do to speak like him?

How is he able to think like that and articulate his thoughts so clearly?


Me on the road less traveled.

@SageModeAustin how much can you expect from someone who doesn't want to take conciousness work practices seriously. He is an expression of nature like we are, he can't help but do what he does. 


Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.

If you were a tenured professor (which I assume he is/was) — why would you be motivated to become a self-help teacher?  Something doesn’t add up in that.  There’s some demons he’s fighting within himself.  Sometimes the people who become big into self-help are the ones who have the most demons.

@The Don Jordan said that his IQ was tested to be over 150. He said that when you break down the sub components of his test he's only 90th percentile numerically (I might be wrong don't quote me) but on the other hand he is very high verbally. So his cognitive ability is a factor here. He's just got a talent for public speaking and talking in general. He's a psychologist who has clients as well so he's done hours and hours of talking and listening to people. 

Another thing worth mentioning is that Jordan Peterson will often express in precise terms what most people will express in unprecise terms. Even if the truths and messages he conveys are vague and broad in what they are refrencing, his language is still precise. Academics learn how to be good with language it seems.

I don’t understand how JP resonates so strongly with so many people. His inner turmoil is palpable. Perhaps he fuels inner turmoil in others. I scanned down the comments of one of his videos - all were high conflict

Actually, that's just an illusion.

His ideology is full of absurd contradictions like this:

Joe pokes holes in JP's bullshit Blue value system very quickly.

It's easy to sound coherent when you're speaking to a crowd of angsty young white males age 18-24 who have never bothered to seriously study politics, feminism, government, post-modernism, socialism, philosophy, metaphysics, epistemology, psychology, science, sociology, history, religion, mysticism, or self-help.

All you gotta do is tell them what they want to hear and to their ego-mind it will sound coherent.

Also, eloquence has nothing to do with truth, reality, development level, or consciousness. The most eloquent people are usually full of shit.

My eyes are bleeding blue after watching that.

That is a clean smake-down of a strong blue.

JP is hardcore blue in that video. If that sounds normal to you. . . Welcome to Blues-ville!!!

Hi @Leo Gura.

Thank you for responding to me.

Let's put aside the non-dual perspective and talk from a materialistic paradigm.

It's because of the Blue value system that we have a functioning society today.

Some elements of Blue are NECESSARY, as you said in one of your videos.

For example, the family value. Without families societies die. Average age of the population in Germany is 47. They aren't having enough kids. Soon will be just a few of them because they FAIL to understand the necessity of the family.

Their economy will sink of course but who cares? They like the CHIMP behaviour (sex, clubs, unnecessary social gatherings, gossip, TV and so fort) instead of preferring to raise Rockstar kids. :) Blue teaches us about family values.

What most people who pursue Enlightenment fail to understand that PEOPLE ARE NOT BASICALLY GOOD. If we don't ask the question: "How do we make people good?" we are in trouble.

I appreciate Christianity not because I believe in God, but because of its values.

Wisdom is necessary.

P.S: feminism is CANCER. Socialism doesn't work because Socialism spends what Capitalism creates. Socialism fails every time. Denmark, Sweden, Finland or Norway aren't run by a socialist system.

I guess my dad is green. He put his seed in a bunch of women and I grew up without a father. The polygamous society is the utopia.

Yep. Welcome to Blues-ville.

He really does embrace the self suffering ego narrative and if he was just teaching methods and practices to people for the cessation of suffering even if it is to a very specific cultural niche then more power to him. It's not anything I would encourage but the last thing I want to allow happen is my own being agitated by him or his people.

Although, he surely goes full fundy extreme minded over ideological diversity that comes from his moralizing which he justifies the use of vitriolic intent towards others.

I kind of like him though, I enjoyed his stuff, his lectures, before he blew up in attention from the other issues.

I avoid his stuff now.
