| Topic | What are your thoughts on Jordan Peterson? |

It's the idea of ordering the world around you from the place you have most control outward so that when you bump into something else you've taken care of the most familiar territory first. He likes to speak in stories and the idea in story form is that your room is the closest area you spend the most time in and ordering that area and then inductively moving up the environment is the safest social bet for everyone rather than attacking the system for how corrupt it is on a global scale as soon as you turn mad and 18 in college. But that's all just empty platitudes. There's nothing wrong with "self care" or things like that, but the only thing that makes his self-help book any more resonant than any other Joe Schmo's self-help book is that people like his unrelated politics. If Bela Bollabas or Ron Graham wrote a self-help book, I wouldn't read it, even though they are very respected in my field. I don't have this need to find a new father figure in my life who will help me beat the conservatives. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
