He doesn't even need to put out a book. Last I heard, he was making more than $60,000 a month on Patreon. On top of his salary as a professor.

I got it

great so far.

@Balrog0 - sure, but there may be a good reason why hundreds of thousands of people are actually listening to that advice, instead of ignoring it like when their parents told them

I think there is. And for the past year and a half or so, I've been cleaning my room every day...if you have an understanding of the psychology behind it, it really orients you in the right way....well at least for me it did. And even if the psychology is bullshit, the effects are not.

I think the biggest thing is you have to take what he says seriously (despite the comedic overtones that he embraces within his writings and speeches). It's a serious game we are all playing and there are definitely better ways of being.

He's a psych professor from Canada, known for pushing back against radical left. I like him because he's very well spoken and carefully chooses his words to clearly illustrate the points he's trying to make.

He's like the antithesis of Milo, who just spews a bunch of garbage out of his mouth hole.

I'm getting it ASAP. The man is my icon, my role model. I believe he is a flat out genius and the antidote for all of the problems we are facing in the world today. After following his future authoring program and listening to countless lectures by him, my life has changed for the better in countless ways, and is improving every day.

I'm serious when I tell you guys that whether you're happy with your life or unhappy with your life, Jordan Peterson can improve it to a massive degree and have you realize your full potential. Whether you hate me or like me or don't know who I am, forget all that and just listen to me when I say this man can change your life. I'd suggest listening to his Joe Rogan Experience interviews to begin just to get a gist of what this man is all about, and then move to his youtube channel and listen to what sounds interesting to you. I mean not just his speeches that he's become famous for, but his actual University lectures on psychology are some of the most mind blowing, eye opening revelations I've ever witnessed.

Dude is a fuckin G.

I loved that one, watch it the day it came out. He is a verbal ninja. The conversational judo he applied in that conversation was straight up incredible. She was begging for a "gotcha!" moment and he never even gave her one, while simultaneously making her speechless for a good 10 seconds at one point.

Its an endorsement for Peterson and a denouncement of Marxists. Which is common sense to anyone with common sense.

And you're a Marxist, anyone making money is immediately wrong in your eyes lmao.

Because Marxism always leads to suffering and death. Every time Marxism has reared its ugly head it has resulted in labor camps and and poverty and mass democide, as well as the eventual collapse of the country.

He's a liberal in the way that Sargon of Akkad is a liberal. I.e., they hate both nazis and commies, which is what America used to be about. Modern day liberals view Peterson as a nazi.

he is pretty clearly ignorant on the subjects of marxism, postmodernism, and gender, and those are the things that he seems most lauded for talking about

incorrect. Marxism does not denounce people making money. try harder.

Because Marxism always leads to suffering and death. Every time Marxism has reared its ugly head it has resulted in labor camps and and poverty and mass democide, as well as the eventual collapse of the country.

denouncing flawed, incomplete implementations of Marxism that were heavily attacked by imperialist countries is not a denouncement of Marxist ideology.

I don't see the difference there, there are plenty of factors that could cause two people who do the same job to have different pay. His point is merely that sex/gender isn't the only one.

its like you're using the same talking points that Cathy Newman used

He is saying that them being a woman is one factor of many

including the fact that agreeable people tend to not ask for raises as often as non agreeable people....women tend to be more agreeable...do the rest of the math yourself

this isnt hard and its so annoying that people keep spouting the same nonsense to further their ideology
