Need a plate of generic, insipid platitudes with a giant helping of bad science and misogyny?

I used to like him. I fell for the crap. To my 16 year old brain what he said made a lot of sense. He had a handful of good points, and it made me believe the rest of the shit he peddled.
I see him now, I look back on how I hung onto his words like a lost lamb, and I can only facepalm.
I realised that the only thing he is good at is marketing, not psychology…

I’m still pissed that because he badly quotes and misinterprets Jung all the time, people assume Jung is bullshit by association.
- seitanic ( @seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org ) 3•10 months ago
I think that Jung is bullshit for reasons entirely unrelated to JBP. His ideas are interesting, but not scientifically sound.
- adderaline ( @ondoyant@beehaw.org ) English1•10 months ago
lots of people thought Jung was bullshit way before JBP came around.

I mean a lot of Jungs work is sorta bullshit.

I didn’t believe him, I believed the positive messages he send and implanted. I don’t care about him nowadays, but I also don’t regret internalizing certain stuff he preached. It wasn’t totally bullshit of what he said, until a point where he completely drifted off.
Thankfully I stopped watching any of his stuff quite a while before that happened, so I dodged this whole mess and only saw the burning ship wrack from the distance. I understand the hard feelings of others who are more involved in this topic though.
To agree, that something someone said, was correct, isn’t a bad thing. Even if the stuff that follows is off the mark.
To regret that, would also mean regretting failure, but without failure there’s no progress.

Oh god, this is so embarassing for us as a society. Young men look for guidance, and all they find is Rape Tate who tells you to be an alpha male by just being obnoxiously “superior” to others.
John Peanutbutter who tells you to be an alpha male but with science in your brain
fresh and fit who tell you to be alpha males but by figuratively just shaming women
and on the opposite side you have nothing for a while and then you have destiny and hasan who try to make you debate like highschoolers.Is the world just full of grifters now?
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yyyyeeeeeeessssssss
- Krauerking ( @Krauerking@lemy.lol ) 8•10 months ago
The grift of giving some free advice that may or may not work, to get them hooked so you can sell bad advice that when it doesn’t work they say it didn’t because they didn’t believe enough or try enough and there is yet another book for them to buy which then locks these people into a spiral of buying only their advice…
Is such a long running and stupid grift for people to still be falling for this strongly.
We are right back around to people selling blank books for you the reader to fill out with the great plan that’s gonna work. But people feel directionless and scared of the future so idiots will seek comfort anywhere they can.

Never take advice on personal responsibility from a guy who intentionally put himself in a coma to avoid taking responsibility for his addiction to a narcotic with zero medicinal properties.
- Foofighter ( @Foofighter@discuss.tchncs.de ) 11•10 months ago
It’s so weird for me that he seemed surprised that benzos are, in fact, highly addictive with severe withdraw symptoms. Isn’t he a psychologist and potentially someone who is allowed to prescribe such drugs?
- amelia ( @amelia@feddit.de ) 10•10 months ago
Fortunately only psychiatrists can prescribe drugs and they’re actual physicians.
- troutsushi ( @troutsushi@feddit.de ) 1•10 months ago
That’s an important distinction that too few people understand:
Psychiatrists: medical doctors with a specialization in mental health who can prescribe drugs
Psychologists: trained professionals with an academic degree who provide mental health care by (generally) talking with you
Both are important health care providers, but they generally do very different things, and in a mental health crisis you best have one of each at hand.

I can help you as well. Just turn to Hedonism, which is pretty much the opposite of what Jelly B Peanutbutter tells you to do.
Quit your job, become an artist. Heck, become a twitch streamer, I don’t care. Try to do what brings you joy. And remember to eat the rich.- AggressivelyPassive ( @agressivelyPassive@feddit.de ) 2•10 months ago
But don’t try to get into art school! That’ll end bad.
- Krauerking ( @Krauerking@lemy.lol ) 2•10 months ago
So many of these awful grifters are actually just failed artists because not everyone can be what they want… It’s why there is a slight failing to that age old leftist argument of studying art.
Tucker Carlson once wrote his college thesis on why a certain senator was the only true American and how the ideals of Bernie Sanders would be the social, pro-working class answer to Americans need for a better country. And then he was told his paper was boring, his writing credits barely made it anywhere and then he got insulted for wearing a bowtie.
I hate the little weasel fucker but he wasn’t born this way he was made through choices and interactions that he failed to take in a way that lots of others would fail at. Society really makes it’s own enemies.
- AggressivelyPassive ( @agressivelyPassive@feddit.de ) 1•10 months ago
Well, Carlson wasn’t exactly the person I had in mind, and calling this person grifter might be an understatement. But maybe I’m biased.

I just want to say that if you are/were a young man, and found some value in some of what this guy was saying to you…thats’s OK. Don’t feel bad, or embarrassed or mad at yourself or whatever. We are all learning all the time, and doubly so when we’re young. Never think that you can’t take what is useful and reject what isn’t. Fuck knows there is plenty to reject about what this dude says!
