I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm not enjoying this video because I don't think sitting on a couch and making fun of the sound of someone's voice is useful but I detest Jordan Peterson because he's done a lot of harm. I hope you are okay and can find resources to help you stay sane in the situation you're in right now.

@@KyarrixThank you! I'm indeed doing much better. I have a wonderful girlfriend and very very very supportive friends to help me along the way.

what was said in the book that was racist? /genq

@@kennieskloset5848 "Fights with Native kids were a too-common part of his experience, during those moves. It's no overstatement to point out that such kids were, on average, rougher than the white kids" he then continues to say that he called a native kid a cow, loudly, in front of the entire class, and said the kid was violent for saying he wants to hurt peterson after said incident, as if he didn't fucking just insult the kid in front of the entire class.

kennieskloset he doesn’t account for any variables that are historical or environmental and instead insinuates that people are.. genetically a certain way or that they choose to be a certain way and that white people have just “chosen” better. It echoes a lot of eugenics and other incredibly racist philosophies that portray people who are anything other than white as violent or bad. He does this in different dosages and contexts- but it generally boils down to that. It amazes me how many stupid ideas he just packages in a pseudo intellectual way, and a lot of vulnerable people eat it right out of his hands.

you nailed his style and it's a little scary lol. It's like he's trying to hit a word count on an essay while sneaking in as much bigotry as possible

omg that’s so accurate, the entire time I was thinking he sounds like he’s from the 1800s

I literally read that in his voice 💀 your parody is on point lmao

You missed the chance to insert "Whatever meaning that term may still hold in our current social climate" after "male" 😶

🤣🤣🤣

The second one is actually so funny tho

the second one is funny tho

yes

Curious

It's almost more along the lines of "you're pro choice? What if I choose to kill you?"

ugh honestly! it's so hard for him when nobody asks him for permission to do whatever they want!!!!!

What's worse, sometimes they DISAGREE with him.

I can’t believe I actually ate a doughnut this morning without papa Jordan’s permission. I’m so sorry I let him down…

@@totallynotsummermorrison33 CRIMINAL! CRIMINAL! How could you hurt him like this?? AHH, CRIMINAL!

Living with his brain, his level of neuroticism, is definitely hard. High depression and anxiety, bad immune system. And the amount of hate he gets would destroy most people. Anyway he almost died when detoxing from Benzodiazepines. A lot of people find that hysterical. Which says a lot about the people who oppose him.

Yeah, honestly it felt weird that they were dunking on what he was saying for being overintellectual nonsense instead if dunking on him for what he was saying being incredibly horrifying objections to the idea of being able to call out popular people for saying awful stuff without needing to get a book publisher or have a column or etc. etc.? It's obfuscated but it didn't feel like it was that hard to get what he meant? And the content of what he was saying was _way_ worse than the way he was saying it

I just find it super interesting that he calls people who criticize him unethical, when he literally violated his ethical code (Canadian Psychological Association Code of Ethics) by discriminating against and promoting hate towards trans people

yeah like especially when he said "something something democratization of communication"...! like wtf hes literally saying he supports propaganda and restriction of free speech, its so thinly veiled it gave me real bad fash vibes

@@Idran it’s only because they don’t take him seriously enough to actually dunk on him.

At least you were able to communicate what you mean by the end. Far more concise than Jordan Peterson

Man wrote this comment extemporaneously

To be perfectly clear and wholeheartedly honest with my entire heart, avoiding an overabundance of useless text (by which I mean typing an excessively long comment in response) - I cannot stress this enough; however I shall try - it was a high quality digital form of entertainment. Edit- it came to my attention, shortly after posting the comment, I accidentally missed a punctuation error within the contents of my comment - a mistake which I apologise for and have corrected (and I wish for you, my peers, to inform me whenever other overlooked mishaps arise).

Yas. Purchasing as soon as it comes out

that quote is now the wallpapper on my phone

these are just random words put together 😂😂

it's a shame that he would probably end up crying and claiming libel

it'd be like 13 seconds at BEST

"Twitter mean, internet bad (unless I use it to be mean), fucking leftists."

"Twitter hurt my feelings 😭😭😭" The end.

Unwarranted care that writing allows? IRRC when you write something, there’s more care put into it on an academic’s social media account. Unless you’re just shitposting. Dr Petey’s son, what are you saying. You have to choose your words with *less care* bc you’re *writing* wtf

It's like the sentence is fighting with itself. It's significantly more coherent if you just delete the word undue. Because the care that writing allows is an advantage.

he needs an irl editor for the words coming out of his mouth

"to the degree"

I’m reasonably well educated - in “the arts, post-modernism, Foucault and all those shenanigans, to the extent that I could once write essays that made professors think that I believed in them - yet he can easily confuse me! Not to the extent I’d ever agree with him but to the extent I go … whaaa????

I dropped out of high school and even I can tell that he's not using complicated words out of necessity to communicate complex, technical, or challenging ideas. He's just taking the stupid, angry people's most regressive and and bigoted beliefs and terting them up so that when his audience hears what they already believe, they feel justified in said belief, because now it's all been intellectually laundered for them. He's one of hundreds in the States.

It’s also like he has no idea what 4chan is and thinks only Twitter has toxic people

the real kicker is that early into his notoriety, when he was fighting the c16 bill, he claimed that he would call people by their chosen name and pronouns, his problem was being "compelled." Come to find out, to the surprise of no one, no, he actually has no interest in calling someone the right thing out of politeness and is just a straight up transphobe

Can’t be Dunning Kruger for psychology as he’s very educated in his field (unfortunately). He treats it the exact same way as the fields he has 0 education on, aka creates his own facts and claims they’re universal truths. So I honestly don’t think Dunning Kruger is the culprit, it’s a straight up personality flaw

nah he's just bad kermit

It’s all natural baby 😂

Tryit it's yours tiityou er er terazen xx w my friend duy

He always sounds like he's on the verge of tears. Like a child who's voice rises higher trying not to cry towards the end of every sentence. 🥺

It's funny because it's so f+cking true. "-I penned a tweet-" like stfu nobody HAS EVER 'PENNED A TWEET.' 💀

Lol i am the same way

It's not your ADHD. The way he speaks is literally incomprehensible.

Lmfao yeah this is his desperate attempt to uphold systematic oppression/silencing of the masses He’s such a blatant fascist

I think it’s also because some of those people have good ideas too. It must really sting to be debunked by high school dropouts and poor people who have the ability to use google and prove him wrong in minutes.

*_"All the impotent anger bleeds into the real world."_* He says. Sat in his living room in the real world. Where he is whining, impotently enraged, that people dared to say he was wrong on the internet... 😁

*_"Malignant Narcissism."_* Is something Kermit The Fraud seems intimately familiar with.

I also love how he basically says _"institutional corruption within academia is fine and people should be afraid of us and our fragile egos."_ He's not supposed to say that stuff out loud. But there he is, arguing his privilege and the ability to exert it upon others _totally unjustified_ is fine. Regardless of the fact his students may be objectively correct. It's like; _"I've earned the _*_right_*_ to opress you, how dare Twitter destroy the house of cards upon which my Fabergé Ego rests?! How dare they _*_democratise_*_ the power of ideas!!! I want the power to be mine mine mine!!!"_ Like, the venom with which he says the _democratised..._ This dude won't be missed.

Because he have a psychology diploma some people are like Well he must be smart Even tho hes just a misogyn, racist, homophobic and religious traditionalist that dont believe in god but hes scared of the possibility of god xD oh and he sell class online like every incels influencers

It's because he uses fancy ass words even when they aren't needed or don't even make sense.

Currently I think he is just living on old hype.

He sounds like a brain-damaged autotuned muppet... On purpose?!

100% agreed. The fact that I finished the video is a testament to just how much I enjoy watching Ethan & Jordan.

It's like speaking causes him physical pain

@@e-w-4174 hopefully it does, would make me feel much better about knowing people listen to him

That sounds interesting. Could you give me some specific examples I cant make sense of his senile circular reasoning

@@mykaylajacques9816 I think the clearest example that occurs to me rn is in 12 Rules For Life with the chapter "put your house in perfect order before you criticize the world". Big Joel did a good explanation of it but basically it presupposes that in order for anyone to be able to validly criticize the world outside of themselves, they must have fixed everything possible about themselves

@@jordanetherington1922 ok yea that makes no sense. I understand the before you pick out the splinter in my eye take out log in yours, but if jordan truly believed in that he would not be able to talk ever

ayo do you happen to study the dreaded cue anon (spelling changed on purpose)

@@cateatpasta5990 oh as a British person we are not claiming him. We may have issues but I would very much like to avoid adding him to them

One thing I'll give ol papa JP is that he's doing his part to dispel the ridiculous myth that Canadians are nice

Nah, that's COMMUNISM.

It's called doublespeak. They make sure to make what they say too fancy and complex to understand so others will think that they are smarter than them; so smart, in fact, that they can't even understand what's being said. Doublespeak has other characteristics too, such as vague and euphemistic language, but that's essentially it. What they are saying isn't smart, so they have to make it sound smart, and you can't deny that what's being said isn't smart when you don't understand what they're saying in the first place. A lot of pseudointellectuals and politicians, when using doublespeak, will imply that you aren't smart enough to understand them, so when they respond to your questions or say things, you can't just respond "What? I don't get what you mean." without it seeming like you're not smart, so people just back away and pretend they understood and not try to analyze it. Politics and other things can be talked about without talking like this, but if they drop the doublespeak, they wouldn't seem smart to the people who fall for the illusion.

I'd probably concede to the point about how his use of "academically privileged" language isn't accessible if it wasn't for the fact that most academically incline people don't even understand what he is talking about. The problem isn't the words he uses, but how the way he uses them makes no fucking sense. The reason why so he has so many fans is because he dispenses so many dog whistles that even the dumbest among them can botice, and that's what they want to hear. I think the reason why he does this however is because he just sounds like a blatant bigot whenever he uses plain language.

​@@puggyboy694Fascinating analysis.

@@puggyboy694 he really isn’t speaking in a very complex way though. Especially the example they point out around 10 and a half minutes into the video. It is pretty clear what he is saying

This video so badly made me want to edit his "essay" that he read to be actually functional. Like I wrote better than this in my first year of undergrad he cannot be allowed to flaunt his phd like it has any meaning anymore

@@ravenwilliams7636 he was a senior professor at what was supposed to be an esteemed psychology school for my province and that's devastating

I have no real understanding of psychology, but I like big words. And it's so obvious to me he only uses them to appear eloquent and sophisticated without actually being those things.

@@ngotemna8875 that's totally fair. I just also know that sometimes when getting into deep psychological conversation sometimes professors can use a lot of big words in a way where the ending sentence actually makes sense. It's pretentious and it's not the easiest way to explain things, but at least it makes sense. But that requires an actual understanding of both the words you're using and the concept you're trying to get across. Peterson has neither and it's an excellent way of making viewers who wouldn't understand the concept or the words feel smart because Peterson mixes those types of sentences in with blatant statements of facist ideology they already agree with.

@@ngotemna8875 big boy likes his big words... but he _does not_ like actually learning real facts

i mean fortunately going mask off with the 'up yours woke moralists' after publicly falling apart for several years really reduced his power to do damage lmao

@@thomasstone3480 "we'll see who cancels who"

very well said and highly agreed

Excellent comment - except i feel he mostly does know how fashi he is. He pretends he's not a grifter (yet he knew dang well he was lying about the bill - our bills are short, easy to read & all are online); using the phrase 'cultural marxist" (like it wasn't taught in our schools here that the phrase was/is a code used by the haters of Jewish people • at least used since at least the 1920s); downplaying the 'hollowcost' by saying AH had OCD & the pressure took him a bit overboard; had his pic taken with a pepe flag; & pics of him huggin' up on proudboys; admitting he would've voted for 45; he whitemansplained how racism & sexism aren't real *by saying white men deserve* (??) *privilge* cos *white men made everything* (??)". He *totally* Knows but just doesn't care... I was flatmates with 2 women who both worked with him & he's generally disliked by most faculty & students ‐ mostly cos he overtly acts in very bigoted ways whilst being confident yet fully incorrect • cos his attempts at plausible deniability don't work when its ones only M.O.

@@NimbuX. 🤓

What a story. Wow. It is crazy that Jordan Peterson has friends. This is actually a wild story though.

that addendum at the end 😭 😂

Me, a lesbian, only liking feminine men and getting icks thinking about sleeping with them yet thinking I was in love from getting bare minimum kindness, appreciate your addendum as well 😂😂

That’s a crazy story. Sorry you have been in the presence of this man

its actually surprisingly easy for a conservative to get involved in your life, its pretty scary

And he shields himself from that kind of criticism by asserting that the west is primarily a competence hierarchy and not a dominance hierarchy. The conclusion he wants his followers to come to is: No followers/wealth/resources to express your opinions = lack of competence to express opinions. He "avoids" the accusation by implying that power/influence and competence are correlated. "It's not that you don't deserve to have a voice because you don't have the reach, it's that you don't have the reach because you don't deserve to have a voice (because you don't have the competence)" I think this reversal is crucial to right wing ideology and social Darwinism

he is the opposite of the "you dont understand something completely until you can explain it to a child". This man, with 1000% more words than he needs, can explain shit to Victor Hugo and Victor Hugo only.

You’re so enthusiastically upset you sound happy lol

I didn't even realize that there's much of a difference between spoken and written English but you're right, he's speaking as if he's writing a (bad) essay in real time.

The amount of effort I have to put into processing anything that Jordan Peterson says is kind of amazing. I struggle to pay attention to people who communicate clearly, who I want to listen to, so imagine how difficult it is for me to even process anything he says, much less comprehend it

I understand him, he is just very intelligent and requieres you to get accustomed to his speech

especially the run-on sentences. It's one thing to use a bunch of big words to intentionally obfuscate what you're saying, but my god it's like he's trying to be as inconcise as possible. He talks like how I wrote in 10th grade when I thought I was already a master writer lmao

That or he has a traumatic brain injury or disability that inhibits communication skills, but those of us with issues like that usually disclose it ahead of time.

@@GoddoDoggo pretty sure the crypto-fascist isn’t disabled, he talks like that to give a sense of legitimacy to his nonsensical emotional breakdowns about being ratio’d on twitter

@@littlechickeyhudak yeah lmao, it’s like he thinks fancy words will make up for his lack of structure or coherence. the rambling thing would pass better if it was really a spontaneous rant lol, but he writes a script beforehand and you bet he spends time editing it. don’t believe that someone who’s such a mess is well read enough to naturally use half of the words he’s spitting out.

Science literally agrees and supports the existence of trans people and the absence of a binary. He so stupid

Just because you have real life experience and academic knowledge doesn't mean you know stuff. Clearly you need to watch more Jordan B Peterson videos. The B stands for knowledge

“Basic biology” mfs when advanced (and up-to-date) biology walks in

@@ngotemna8875 yes yes my bad

It drives me nuts how these people refuse to understand that people who aren’t transphobic are not disputing that biological sex exists, we’re just saying it’s not inherently tied to the social presentation of gender, which is a different thing and more in the realm of psychology than biology. But they will not stop reducing the argument to “liberals don’t understand what chromosomes are” or something.

god “the freud of our time” is such an apt description

I would kill to watch those lectures

Freud was way more intelligent and innovative. People will continue to talk about Freud long after JP is forgotten.

Did you actually mean "Freud", or were you trying to say "fraud?" If it's the former, I'd be curious why your prof called him "the freud of our time".

⁠@@SleepyMatt-zzzeud himself was a fraud, he was a lazy scientist who could twist literally anything into “evidence” for his ideas. He also had a strange fixation on reinterpreting the behavior of children as being sexual, such as saying that a young child being emotionally close to their mother is actually them being horny and not, you know, loving their parents. Dude, if you think a baby loving his mommy is because of an Oedipus complex, that says way more about you than human nature

I think closing his eyes wouldn’t solve any because every problem he has is made up in his head

Which is a direct result of the rightwing pandemic of NOT knowing ANY words.

They get away with it because there are a lot of stupid people who buy into it.

Rather than think it's sad, try to understand why it happens because that's a better way to fight it. In any time of societal change, there will be people who feel alienated, angry and confused. Some of those people will be older and some will be younger. Jordan Peterson's advice is extremely appealing to those people.

@@Kyarrix I’m lost in this whole thing tbh. Could you let me in on what societal change is occurring in America as we speak?

@@madmadelo183 Are you really asking why people, largely young white men, who are angry and alienated find someone like Jordan Peterson appealing? Are you saying that you're unaware of societal change? It's difficult for me to credit your question as being in good faith. What do you think is behind the appeal of someone like Jordan Peterson who wraps a distinctly conservative worldview into general self-help and advice? Why do you think his advice is appealing to many? What do you think is behind the appeal of Donald Trump? It is similar. You appeal to people who feel that they are losing their power, who think that the gains of other groups come at their expense. People who believe that progress is a zero sum game. Those are the people who are vulnerable to an appeal to conservatism. They want to go back to the halcyon days of yore when things were simpler, when things were, as they perceive, better. The thing is, things were not better for everyone back in those days. They were better for the segment of the population that finds Jordan Peterson appealing. It isn't lost on me that you are willfully misunderstanding what I was saying. It isn't societal change in America "as we speak" , it is change that has been happening for a while and ideally would continue and speed up. If you are a traditional white male from your perspective the gains of women, minorities, groups that had been disenfranchised, all of their gains feel like they come at your expense. Someone like Jordan Peterson says women should have children in their early twenties rather than competing with men in the workplace. He says hierarchy is good and divine! God made hierarchy, men are order and women are chaos. He'll tell you that women wear makeup in the workplace to simulate sexual arousal in order to attract men. It isn't true, but if you are an angry disaffected alienated man, it feels true to you. All of this is extremely appealing to someone who feels at a loss and suspects that their share of power and influence is being reduced. If you are used to having the lion's share, equality feels like oppression when it isn't. If you genuinely want to engage on the topic in good faith, do so. If you're looking to troll, find someone else.

@@Kyarrix Was my comment rly angled to troll, or are you just so sensitive that it seemed that way to you? I asked a genuine question and was somehow trying to light a fire under you? That’s a load of shit and also why nothing can progress forward in this sensitive ass society. Because feelings come before common sense nowadays and it is pathetic, to say the least. It’s not healthy to assume everyone is out to get you and assuming I was deliberately trying to troll you. You still never answered my question. You just bitched about white skin, as expected.. I was just hoping for the best, but was severely disappointed. So thanks for that.👌

@@madmadelo183 gays getting married, trans people existing in public, women working with men, non-Christians, there's a lot.

Millions do look up to him though. Whenever you have significant change in a society there will be people who are angry, confused and alienated as a result. Those are the people who Jordan Peterson reaches with his general advice folded into a kind of old timey conservatism that can be appealing to them. That's why it is as dangerous as it is and the primary reason I wish they had focused at least in part on why the advice is appealing, who it appeals to, and how to better fight against it. I've lost two friends to Jordan Peterson's advice. At the time I didn't have the tools to help debunk it.

​@@Kyarrix I'm sorry for your loss. I don't mean to be insensitive, but since you brought it up, I have a couple of questions regarding your second sentence [note: second paragraph, actually]. What precisely is it you weren't able to debunk? And what tools do you have now you didn't have before to do so?

@@sapphirevaltiel I'm not sure if you're trolling or not. I suspect that you might be. You don't have to be sorry for my loss, no one died, I just lost a couple of friends who fell into Jordan Peterson world and were not able to extricate themselves. What do you think I was referring to? If you believe that women represent chaos and men represent order then you too have fallen into Peterson's weirdly regressive way of thinking. He also says that women wear makeup at work in order to simulate sexual arousal. Do you believe that too? Or just things like you should clean up your room before venturing out into the world to create positive change? That's another of his aphorisms. He is not a fan of younger people working for social change, for various reasons. Jordan Peterson is attractive to people who feel lost, confused, many of them angry in a changing world where they aren't sure of their role anymore. People who yearn for the halcyon days of yore when things were more clear cut. The problem with those so-called halcyon days is that they weren't, not for most people. Not for women, not for minorities, not for people who were different in any way. They were great though for people who were white, male and middle class. For those folks, the slightest leveling of the playing field feels like oppression now. Of course they want to return to the past, return to a time when women didn't compete in the workplace. Jordan Peterson says women should be having children in their early twenties and if they aren't, they are emotionally damaged. He believes that women and men working together in the workplace is an experiment that we might well do without. How am I better equipped? I'm older, and I know more. I've read his books, I can critique them effectively and the thinking that underpins them. I'm not sure what you're really asking and I suspect you might be trolling so I'll stop here. If you want to clarify your question, please do so and I'll respond.
