Jordan Peterson! Do you like him?

@Yulianna It seems like you really don't like him XD.. well it is good that he is just one person far away living in Canada, not one of your neighbors XD..! Anyways I hope you have a good day and stay healthy and safe, watch out the Corona virus!

@jellyfishman 😊 idon't dislike him... to dislike him, i would have to know him.

i have read some of his writings, observed his talks, he seems to me to be intellectually narrow, arrogant and self important. he may be a perfectly nice person, apart from that.

@Yulianna I guess his certainty can come across as arrogance to some people.. But that is what I like about him.. His talks kinda help me to organize my own mind. His way of processing complicated things into more clear and simpler words appeals to me XD.. It's like a skill I want to learn. How to communicate my unorganized, clumsy thoughts into solid words..

@PepsiColaP It is funny how often critics of him say that mosly white men follow him, but many women like him too XD..

@basilfawlty89 @jellyfishman there is nothing wrong with hierarchy per se, it is inevitable in social organisation.

the problem with peterson and hierarchy is that he sees himself as occupying, as of some intellectual entitlement, a position towards the top of that hierarchy, and most of his devotees as being on lower branches.

hierarchy is necessary for him to maintain his view of his own importance.

which is all a bit sad, really.

@Yulianna Ah... I think I can understand why you don't like him a little now.. maybe you don't like his attitude that he acts as a teacher of the listeners and he talks like he is very sure about what he says.. (I might be wrong!)

@jellyfishman i think i told you elsewhere that i don't dislike peterson, he may be a perfectly nice person... though i doubt it.

i just think he has a grossly inflated view of himself and of his importance, and now sees himself as a guru, a cult leader.
