Based on what I just read in wiki, having never heard of him before.

He says that men are order, women are chaos


Something like that

A more polite Andrew tate...

He is Rogan adjacent. He is high on his own supply. Perfectly fine attendant lord as a clinical psychologist, but wrote self-help books and became a profit to the unwashed masses in their mom's basement.

Jordan Peterson confuses psychology with biology, and biology with morality.

He is a mess. He should, as he puts it, clean his bloody room.




EDIT: Including this to note the Freudian slip of "profit" from "prophet", a mistake that Dr. Peterson could write a book about if he wasn't so addled on beef and klonopin

You might feel a little better, Dr. Peterson.

Snip-"He evidently wants to return to unquestioned patriarchy by paradoxically claiming that “the idea that women were oppressed throughout history is an appalling theory.” This is an insidious sleight-of-hand in which, by denying that patriarchal oppression ever existed, men can continue to ignore what many women have been saying for centuries, from Mary Wollstonecraft and Simone de Beauvoir to Judith Butler and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Kate Manne. Furthermore, Peterson has advised his followers to completely avoid the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, English, women’s studies, and ethnic and racial studies, a startlingly broad swath of the academy that he sees as “corrupted” by the supposed evils of feminism, postmodernism, and neo-Marxism. Peterson’s work invites a much more extensive critique than I have the space (or inclination) to offer here, and there have been numerous excellent critical pieces (including this recent article in The Guardian), but what’s more interesting to me is the question of why so many young men are drawn to his work, specifically what need his pseudo-intellectual misogyny fills for these men, some of whom I’ve found to be otherwise quite intelligent and reasonable in one-on-one interactions.

The men who are attracted to Peterson’s ideas seem to have a profound sense that their dominant role in society is coming to an end, and that feminist postmodernism is the primary agent of this loss of privileged status. This grievance is not news to anyone who pays attention to politics, as it is this very sense of loss of an imagined golden age that largely seems to have motivated Trump voters. But the deeper register of this insight is that postmodernism has, in fact, constituted a kind of death–a death of the modern–and an end of the certainty and privilege that men–especially straight white men–have experienced in the era currently coming to a close."

More there

here it is. I don't, but some might.

When I first learned about him a decade or so ago, I listened to him on my morning walk for a week or two (note to self, you need to start walking again, F the treadmill). At the time there was this big ruckus about him refusing to use gender-neutral pronouns, which I think is what brought him to prominence. Anyway, if he's background noise and you're not paying super attention to what he says, at first he can come off as being somewhat of an intellectual. Upon further reflection, however, he is is no way so.

At the time he had a huge and growing following of mostly younger college educated males.

I don't even know the line with him. Is it misogyny or sexism? Is it some melange?

He considers himself an heir of Jung. He spends a good deal of his time considering himself.

It is good that when he gets the opportunity to do so, he feels the need to move.

Sorry, not sorry. Fuck this guy. I'm short on the milk of human kindness when it comes to his ilk.

Anyway...

Was he some kind of diet guru as well?

He allegedly eats only meat and sparkling water and it helped with his health conditions... Which is ridiculous, because he keeps breaking down every few months.

I want to say his daughter is doing some weird Christian-diet-morality thing... It just is a bizarre mishmash.

The story they tell he Dr. Peterson's wife got cancer and it just broke Jordan's heart. He started taking klonopin but became dependent. He eventually went to Russia to get placed into a medically induced coma to detox, and has been on a meat and water diet ever since and his symptoms have "improved".

Don't watch any of his recent work or your blood pressure will go up. A healthy person he is not. He is if you take the worst parts of RFK Jr and shove it up Kermit the Frog and make it anti-trans.

Yeah, no I don’t.

Fuck that guy.

I am not ill-informed, but I have never heard of this person until now.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE HERE CARE TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM, LET ALONE NUANCES OF ANY NEUROLOGICAL CONDITION??

And if the answer is: "Because he is a popular voice for our opponents," please don't bother to respond. I didn't even care an iota about who Charlie Kirk was.

TIA!

Like an academic Andrew Tate, pushed a self improvement philosophy tainted with hate of women and lgbt

He pushed the hatred of women and LGBT, couched in a philosophy of self improvement.

How tragic that his pseudo-intellectual grift can’t seem to help him now.

Thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and the term psychobabble was invented just for him. Not a fan!

My first thought was the guy accused of murdering his wife years and years ago.
Then, seeing the replies, I realized this was another quack like "Dr." Oz. that I had dismissed as not worth my time or energy to pay attention to, except for the occasional sound bites on "news" websites.

All that hate does wonders for a body
