Why Jordan Peterson Is Always Wrong

Jordan Peterson is one of the most famous public intellectuals in the world. But his pronouncements in favor of capitalism and hierarchy collapse at the slightest bit of scrutiny.

I see a lot of Jordan Peterson videos that get posted. I've read both his books and they aren't bad. They aren't good but they aren't bad. I also read books and various other sources of information that critique him. This is call developing a balanced opinion.

If anyone is actually listening to the guy to make sense out of modern day politics of geopolitics you are barking up the wrong tree.

The guy lies and lies and lies and lies. He is very similar to Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. He continually misrepresents reality and then argues against that point. It's so stupid. If you read about how he got famous he did exactly this. I quoted the point above. He stated he wasn't going to be told how to talk to people but that wasn't anything at all like what that piece of legislation stated. Go and fact check it if you don't believe me.

I also think he is stupid or maybe better put he uses really dumb arguments. On top of that if you've actually his latest book you read and at the same time you think to yourself how can this guy be so stupid and/or hypocritical. He basically admits to being addicted to I forget what drug but it was really bad and then he goes to some crazy Russian health spot which is so dodgy and he is just a mess. Then he preaches how not to preach about the world unless you have your life in order.

One of the biggest letdowns for me in the self help genre.

100% correct. He is full of crap. Plus he adds to the whole anger industry that is so prominent in society today.

Massive hypocrite.

It's even funnier hearing him talk about topics he has no idea about but he talks like he is an expert. Ask him about nuclear physics and he knows everything but it's all wrong.

Then he talks about how smart he is.

Hey?

Didn't you say you read his books and they "weren't bad?"
 
The trouble with the internet in these times of uncertainty and delusion is that a lot is fabricated misinformation,disinformation or somebody wanting to make a quick buck ...
In my opinion,its ok to have your view on the world,politics and whatever floats your left or right boat...
We have been fortunate and blessed to be born with a brain,a personality and a character that makes us all different from each other...the main trick in life is to use your dissernment and respect each others views and opinions.that was my greatest lesson in life,however some think that their views are the one and only in this world of kaos.propaganda,lies and inflated opinions that the rest have to absorb it and go with that..
SORRY guys I form my own opinion,filter through what I think is crap and judge people how I would like to be judged myself when conversing with adults that want to have a free and boths sides of the argument conversation...
In the end we all bleed,get sick and die...life is short,make the most of it and bless our brothers and sisters from whatever part of this beautiful planet we come from...
" I fear not walking through the valley of darkness.there is a light at the end with the Lord walking beside me"...God bless each and everyone of you beautiful people..
 
Some of Petersons old lectures from
Toronto University are preety good.
Before the hair plugs, tailored suits
and benzo addiction. I do agree he's
a bit of a hypocrite though for sure
 
All credit to the Iranian soccer team who today refused to sing their national anthem at the soccer world cup.This stand in support of the protest movement in their country against a repressive religous government who have murdered their own citizens undoubtedly will have repercussions against them and their families.Over 400 (mainly women) have been killed in the protests so far.
It is religous persecution at it's worst

Oh come an Jad, that is just more woke virtue signalling from the likes of August Landmesser.
