god Jordan Peterson is such a fucking hack
i can't fucking believe "vaguely Jungian self-help books for men who suck" is such a successful formula
anyway this is an open call for everyone's favorite bits where Jordan Peterson goes all unhinged about specific topics/people/media, like the time he called Frozen "the subjugation of art to propaganda". bonus points for text over video, but video is okay
i'm going through some of @zei_nabq's stuff but it's very time consuming
one of the problems with jordan peterson, which is a problem with a lot of fascists and why arguing with them doesn't work, is that to argue against them you have to assemble their argument for them, because on their own the shit they say is completely incoherent
i've seen neural networks with more coherent arguments than the ones he makes when he writes
and the way he talks in interviews is mostly standard reactionary stuff, he just has intellectual-sounding filler words instead of saying "um" and "like", which people read as intelligence the same way americans read posh british accents as intelligence
he goes back and repeats words or phrases occasionally and then uses a bunch of phrases like "in my estimation", "you understand", "you should think about this" as his filler phrases when he's improvising, and he does the repetition and speeds up when he's flustered
almost everybody has stuff like that, but people judge competence based on which ones you use, but it's just toastmasters shit
once you pick that stuff out and throw out the self-contradictory shit and the stuff that is completely incoherent, the only thing jordan peterson leaves you with is a pile of bigotry and the shit you'll find in any self-help book you pick up at a garage sale for a quarter
this isn't an invitation for argument from his fucking fans, go find someone else to cry about lobster daddy's honor to
me: it is ridiculous to try to argue with jordan peterson because his arguments are so incoherent that to argue against them you have to actually do the work of putting together his argument for him
jordan peterson's weirdo fan base:
jordan peterson's weirdo fan base:
you do comments on somebody's style of argument and they just are like DEBATE ME DEBATE ME DEBATE ME it's all they know how to do
anyway i am still looking for the jordan peterson bits where he rails against SPECIFIC PEOPLE AND MEDIA, bonus points if he actually uses the phrase "cultural marxism" or "sjw" or similar. the perfect example of this is when he goes after Frozen.
also, i'd welcome any links to UNEDITED transcripts of times when he's had to speak off the cuff-- interviews, Q&As, etc, especially with a hostile audience or interviewer.
