Jordan Peterson

[Omar del Sur]

What exactly is the alleged wisdom of Jordan Peterson? What has he said that is interesting?

I know one of you had a Jordan Peterson avatar. What exactly has he said that's interesting or insightful?

He is promoted as this big intellectual but I don't think I've ever seen him say anything interesting.

That man who regularly cries during his speeches, right? Yeah I don't understand the hype. Don't like him.

Edit: wth why can't I upload pics or sent emojis?

He considers himself to be a clinical psychologist: since he helps patient who are in social needs.

Whether it’s: anxieties, depressions or social anxieties ect….

Nowadays he’s seen as anti-pc (anti political correct)

He slams modern day feminist, trans and other liberal groups on mainstream media.

Because of it he’ve been gaining right leaning groups.
They also consider him to be anti woke.

since most spokesmen are influence by liberal or woke culture Jordan is their only vocal spokesmen. .

It’s why most people considers him to be highly intellectual.

Haven't really watched him much but I literally was just watching a few clips on him a few weeks ago saying he doesn't believe in God and how he's "terrified of his of his existence", tbh I lost really any respect I had for him at that point. How can you be seen as this big intellectual yet don't even believe in a Creator? So you think the universe just came from nothing? His own fans find it hard to believe.

this is like a Wikipedia summary, none of this answers my question:

"What exactly has he said that's interesting or insightful?"

I wonder if anyone can produce one sentence from this man that is interesting or insightful. He is supposed to be this big intellectual and I don't think I've ever seen him say anything interesting or insightful.

Well, I'll admit he has said some insightful and interesting/motivational things In the past, and it's good that this gets to a larger audience. Here are some quotes from him;

"Dreams shed light on the dim places where reason has yet to voyage"

"If you fulfill your obligations everyday you don't need to worry about the future"

so he's a self-help person? like Oprah for men? I don't find his stuff appealing but maybe someone is helped by his motivational stuff

JBP is the dumb mans “intellectual” he has qualifications in psychology which I’ll never undermine however he tends to talk about everything surface leveled but he makes his delivery sound profound.

he use to be anti pc culture espcially with trans pronouns which is how he got big. He made himself a freespeech absolutist.

I believe he works for Ben Shapiro and the daily wire now.

He recently had Benjamin Netanyahu on his show and basically propagated israel propaganda and historical revisionism

I think you have to be smart to really criticise Jordan Peterson, sometimes he talks bullshit but the other times it's complex.

Like the gender differences in IQ, skills, interests that lie in the extremes, you need to know the normal distribution because he talks about it a lot.

He talks about the pool of male engineers is larger and more diverse (more standard deviation) than female engineers, which is true, and because of that you can't make a gender quota because you are more likely to pick a female engineer who is less skilled.

The normal distribution is just so important to understand when listening to Jordan Peterson.

There isn't much gender differences in skills, temperament etc. but men are more specialised and tend to produce extreme outcomes. Lots of men occupy outcomes 3 standard deviations away from the average.

Most people pick easy talking points when criticising Jordan Peterson and they could rarely elaborate on their answers, typical social media addict.

Im not particularly fan of him btw.
