I'm finally starting to get it. Jordan Peterson is so smart and so deep. We all need to listen more.

Doesnt sound like the kind of thing he says.

Knowledge experiences intricate dominance hierarchies

You're right Al, normally he sounds much more stupid.

Not normally.

He can get lost in the philosophical. Trying to marry the philosophical with the psychological. But not especially. Sam Harris likewise tries to marry tje philosopgical to the neurological a bit. The difference is no in lack of intellect but in style. Harris is more verbose and less crotchetty. However Petterson can also be a lot less convinced he has all the answers on everything.

I definitely prefer Petterson and most of what he writes and thinks is to the point. Even if some small amount of what he says is prattle and completely off base.

"Stupid man's smart person" is not a title given lightly. You've got to earn it.

of success, roughly speaking!|"

That's some wise shit right there. I feel myself getting more ogical already.

Here's a genuine opinion of Jordan Peterson from an internationally respected scientist, Dr. Michael Shermer.

For those of us who'd rather read than watch YouTube.

I am leaving the link there for myself as much as anyone else, in case I have the urge to read it at some point.

Taking the piss out of him is more fun:

I think I'll skip both.

Had to pull up a couple of his videos. 
Seriously...get. to. the. fucking. point.
 
Yep, I'm dead here.

There is no polite way to put this, but since Peterson claims that “If you worry about hurting people’s feelings and disturbing the social structure, you’re not going to put your ideas forward,” I’m just going to say it: Spend half an hour on his website, sit through a few of his interminable videos, and you realize that what he has going for him, the niche he has found—he never seems to say “know” where he could instead say “cognizant of”—is that Jordan Peterson is the stupid man’s smart person.

Peterson’s videos go on and on. It’s like opening up a tab for one of those bird’s nest webcams at the height of its popularity: Lots of people are watching, you feel like you should too, but nothing is happening. You keep checking back, the viewer numbers have risen, but the scene is just so grey and drab. You can make out a white object on your screen that may or may not be cracking up, but as time goes on you start to think, “This thing was not incubated properly.”

Watching his videos, it’s easy to conclude that Dr. Jordan Eggman exhibits the first documented case of the male-cry voice. Maybe he wouldn’t need to repeat himself quite so much, maybe he’d be more convincing when explaining things like men are helpless before “crazy women” and “harpies” because it’s not socially acceptable for men to hit women and that this is “undermining the masculine power of the culture” in a way that will prove “fatal” if he didn’t sound quite so much like Gwyneth Paltrow accepting her Oscar for Shakespeare in Love.

“Postmodern neo-Marxism” is Peterson’s nemesis, and the best way to explain what postmodern neo-Marxism is, is to explain what it is not—that is, it is entirely distinct from the concept of “cultural Marxism.”

“Cultural Marxism” is a conspiracy theory holding that an international cabal of Marxist academics, realizing that traditional Marxism is unlikely to triumph any time soon, is out to destroy Western civilization by undermining its cultural values. “Postmodern neo-Marxism,” on the other hand, is a conspiracy theory holding that an international cabal of Marxist academics, realizing that traditional Marxism is unlikely to triumph any time soon, is out to destroy Western civilization by undermining its cultural values with “cultural” taken out of the name so it doesn’t sound quite so similar to the literal Nazi conspiracy theory of “cultural Bolshevism.”

Yes, he goes on and on with lots of profound-sounding words in largely random sequence, but it's all worth it when he finally gets to the point.

Nah, I'm taking the piss. There are lots of words but no substance. Listen as intently and as long as you want, he never, ever gets to the bloody point.

I don't think he has a point.
