What do you think of JORDAN PETERSON (I only capitalized that bc I know it will get your attention).
Here are my thoughts on this guy...
1)As a PHD in clinical psychology, most of what I hear him say about his field is insightful
2)A lot of his self help stuff is great, and backed up by data and multiple studies which he cites. Some is just common sense but sounds smarter.
3)He uses academic jargon for no reason, and speaks alegorical, sounding way more complex than the point he's making is. Sometimes this comes off as poetic and cool sounding, and other times it sounds like a pretentious. He uses the term "biblical corpus" and when someone asked "Does that just mean the bible" he basically said yeah. Like, why not just call it the bible then? lmfao.
4)What I seriously like about him is that he connects mythology to biology, using jungian theory to explain profound concepts from various religions and stories in general.
5)I really hate the way he does or doesn't talk about women. As a guy who gives advice to young men (such as myself), I feel like it's rare to ever hear him say anything about the female sex that actually inspires enthusiasm about interacting with them. I think that while some of his evolutionary psychology takes on the dynamics between males and femaels are probably sound, it just seems like fuel for incels, and is the last thing you should have on your mind when talking to women. Like, idk what nerd needs to hear this, but knowing more about the field of evolutionary psychology won't help you get laid lmfao. Getting a cool hobby and hitting the gym more will. Women are not alien beings.
6)I wish he'd stop getting invoved in climate change. He's only had one solid take on it which is that not having kids isn't gonna help and would hurt (which actually is true).
7)He's a classical british liberal, which is gay as fuck.
