I’m sharing this article because it changed my perception of Jordan Peterson, and exposed him as intellectually dishonest at best and more likely a fraud artist. Starting with essentially his dissertation. It is a long read but it is incredibly well researched and written:
It’s a good article. I’ll admit that Jordan Peterson is a good psychologist and knows many words and stories, he can make many people feel smart or dumb through his incantations of nonsense. But that’s it, all the rest of it is bunk.
His essays read like an anthology of writings someone made to finish a book report due tomorrow, after not sleeping for 3 days yet somehow feeling wide awake from the crazed panic.
Also see this screenshot on Firefox Mobile (Est. reading time 63 - 81min). Readers will be well-advised to skim over the copious amount of Jordan Peterson excerpts. Lol.
Reading 12 Rules for Life recently and I’d agree that Jordan Peterson is not a good writer that he uses too much words for the ideas he’s trying to say. He’s also too religious for my taste. However it’s a exaggeration that “he has almost nothing of value to say”. There are some insights of value if you skim through his words and it appears to me that he genuinely meant good for the advice he gives. I think he just needs a better editor.

This video from Some More News really highlights all of Jordans bullshit. It’s long as fuck but I enjoyed every minute of it

I’ve never really cared for his humor, but Some More News videos are always a good watch. I’ll have to watch this one later.
I also watch it despite the “humor” 😅
Dont look at the time stamp!
Wow what a fantastic video. I’m so glad I didn’t check the timecode.
Really captures his scientism schtick.

He is a psychologist not a psychiatrist
You’re right, I had it originally but I edited it the wrong way.
Here is a good short video

Admittedly I don’t know much about Jordan Peterson, but if it does that, it wouldn’t change my perception of him at all.
