Jordan Peterson @ The O2 on 1 November

Good to see a a rare example of a modern nuanced thinker speak, before he finally gets cancelled.

Anyone coming? RoF Jordan Peterson drinks?

Annoys nobody these days. Sorry to disappoint.

WELL IT BETTER AS I HAVE JUST PURCHASED MY O2 TICKETS BUT IN ANY CASE I DON’T BELIEVE YOU, AND AS I LISTEN TO JORDAN PETERSON SPEAK I KNOW THAT ALL THE LIBERALS WILL BE FURIOUSLY WEEPING AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY!!

Is this another of those middle aged Extremely Online men positively dripping with divorced energy, chasing whatever grift du jour social conservatives and incels are desperate to pour money into a crowdfunder for?

I’ll give it a miss.

The thing about JP is that he’s box office

which other academic is doing a run at the O2?

that thing he does where he thinks about all the poor men and he has a little cry - you’ve got to love it! Magic. And all the stuff about Jung and the bible and only eating meat and detoxing in a Russian rehab centre which nearly killed him. Box office. Triggered libs can’t handle the chaotic good energy ☑️ 

Nuanced thinker? 

I can't see how anyone with any familiarity with critical thinking can be fooled by Peterson. His arguments are always the logical equivalent of supporting Nelson's Column on a marble.

I admit I am ever so slightly tempted by this. Mainly because I am desperate for someone to tell me what to do with my life and it seems like he can inspire some thoughts. Sometimes I think I may be very susceptible to cults. Need to make sure I don't take any of those Scientology personality tests.

PP, I can provide that service for half the cost. 

*adopts whiny canadian accent*

Listen up PerfidiousPorpoise, you need to tidy your room and get a pet lobster. Also social justice types are wantonly politicising the eternal structures of belief via their Stalinist speech codes, as you can bloody well imagine I am not happy about that. My enemies on the radical left want to annihilate all Western values based on their bloody intolerance for reason itself.

*starts silently weeping*

Spoon-fed radical students unleash the Dragon of Chaos upon the Word within Genesis because of their love for Foucault's sexual perversions, and I will not be silenced. Indoctrinated students sadly act like the Devouring Mother of my brilliant Jungian tradition spawning from their shortage of serotonin and honesty and no one is talking about it! 

*now sobbing and looking physically sick*

The left assault the archetype of the dominance hierarchy based on their bloody radical collectivism, and we can't even have a conversation about it! Feminists (who secretly crave domination) have zero respect for the divine Logos due to their aspirations towards a dangerous egalitarian utopia, and we can't even have a conversation about it! 

*having a straitjacket fitted by concerned mental  health professionals*

Safe space warriors want to annihilate my work's highly regarded conclusion probably because of their lens of power that they apply to everything, and we can't even have a conversation about it! Derrida and Foucault have already contaminated my academic research into personalty because of their bad faith (just ask Sartre), so I'll never use those bloody ideological terms. 

*shouts at you as the ambulance pulls away from the kerb*

Leftist academics are hysterically complaining about the dream-like significance of revealed Truth since they insist upon their agenda-based social science 'research', so don't forget to wash your penis

Good to see a rare example of a modern nuanced thinker speak, before he finally gets cancelled.

This guy? 

"Up YoursWoke Moralists! We'll See Who Cancels Who!" 

 

He’s got into your head hasn’t he RR

Leftist academics want to annihilate the old-school, empirical social sciences based on their bloody claims of 'toxic' masculinity, and I will not be silenced. 

now it’s int there it will silently multiply, like fungal spores

The postmodernists who hate truth are hysterically complaining about the nobility of the lobster since they insist upon their lens of power that they apply to everything, and that's bloody terrifying. 

while you sleep

Ideological parents with a leftist agenda are polluting Piaget's theory of cognitive development probably because of their Maoist pronouns, insofar as classical liberalism exceeds ideology. 

you will wake up renewed

Critics of free speech on campus are plotting a 'final solution' for the humble lobster's quest based on their bloody lies that Solzhenitsyn revealed, even if I've sometimes disagreed with Laura Southern. 

Ahh that's better.

Not a bad summary of his ideas, such as they are, RR. it's a kind of performance art, isn't it?

Where he succeeds is in managing to serve up huge helpings of superficially plausible sounding word salad, and to somehow make it emotionally compelling to listen to.  

Sails you will love him, who wouldn't want such pearls of wisdom as

The self-proclaimed diversity advocates dismiss my bestselling self-help book due to their love for Foucault's sexual perversions, or maybe they'll come for you next.

RR channels him too well to not be a fan.
Strikes me there is a word missing in the English language for people who consume content of people they dislike.
Like frenemy but for consumption.
Hate-fan or something
I bet the Japanese have a word for it

RR channels him too well to not be a fan.

So-called tolerant progressives have already contaminated my work's highly regarded conclusion because of their Marxist lie of white privilege, which must be true since I'm a British Classical Liberal.

Strikes me there is a word missing in the English language for people who consume content of people they dislike.

Millennials with a victimhood mentality are viciously 'deconstructing' the manifestations of the divine because of their propaganda from Frozen -- why aren't the feminists concerned with this? 

Incorrect - if had visited that site I would point out that perception results from ephemeral
phenomena and that self power is inherent in spontaneous opportunities.

Fun sponge fail, but he well knows that culture relies on dimensionless mortality.

Yep all academics come out with stuff like this.

We act out our encounter with the unknown world. We act it out in a way that is analogous to the manner that's presented as a description of what it is that God does at the beginning of time to extract habitable order out of chaos. So you act it out first. Then the second thing is, you watch people who act it out, and you start to make representations of that. That's stories, right? And maybe you admire them. And then maybe after a long time you collect a bunch of those stories, and you can say what that is. You can articulate it as a pattern.
