That's just what people are like
What U resist persists

It's funny that Peterson who is what I would call a life coach
Is a bit negative and crabby

The life coaches of old were all upbeat and enthusiastic

I consider this a sign of the times
We have elevated victimhood to a currency
We have elevated the expression of negative emotions and feelings as virtues

Possibly Jordan is just vibing with the prevailing mood in the culture

I think what is fascinating is that the self-proclaimed morally superior left
Have always felt morally superior because they were kind and compassionate to people who are not doing well


This has been flipped on its head

Probably no group is doing worse then lower class white Urban and rural males
They are all addicted to various drugs
They have little in the way of career prospects

If ever there was a group that deserved compassion it is this
What Hillary Clinton called
Bag of deplorables

The fact that nearly every lefty seems to think it is a good idea
To really express their hatred and cruelty towards this very large cohort
Shows the insanity of the left

When you punch down on a group who aren't doing well
Say the way people punch down on African Americans prior to the 1960s
Of course you are going to get a lot of angry people who are going to rise up
And challenge you

With the current culture firmly in the grasp of the lefty intellectual elite
And with them punching down on literally tens of millions of disturbed nihilistic angry and often very well armed disengaged white deplorables

It's not rocket science to know this is going to end very very very badly
Personally I think that's what the left want
They were getting quite a hard-on
When they watched the storming of the capital
That was just a pretext of what is probably coming

No psychosis. That's nonsense.


And Petersen is not ralking to the deplorables, the underclass. They wouldn't undersand him. His primary audience is men at university and graduates. He is drawing from high art, literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis. 

I think that is his significance - a large number of educated young people, mainly young men, experiencing intellectual, cultural Pauline turns as they hear him and are discovering the treasures and wisdom of their own culture which has been kept from them by 'progressive', lefty stupification throughout their schooling.

He's already endured one psychotic episode last year. Clinicians he sought in the US diagnosed him as schizophrenic.

This was rejected by his daughter who took him on a wild ride for months through eastern Europe and Russia seeking a cure for him, during which he also contracted covid in Serbia.

He was in a psychotic delirium for most of it and has little memory of the whole saga.

He wrote about what he remembers of it in his third book.

The diagnosis of schizophrenia was made by qualified psychiatrists of his own choosing.

A peer psychologist he had a long-form discussion with suggested he had schizotypal personality traits, to which Peterson did not respond.

In his own words, from his third book, an excerpt from his memory of his eastern European and Russian adventure:

On the 5th of February 2020, I awoke in an intensive care ward in, of all places, Moscow.

I had 6-inch tethers attaching me to the sides of the bed because, in my unconscious state, I had been agitated enough to try to remove the catheters from my arm and leave the ICU.

I was confused and frustrated, not knowing where I was, surrounded by people speaking a foreign language and, in the absence of my daughter, Mikhaila and her husband Andre, who were restricted to short visiting hours, and did not have permission to be there with me at my moment of wakening.

I was angry, too, about being there and lunged at my daughter when she did visit several hours later.

I felt betrayed, although that was the furthest from the truth.
…
I did not, and still do not, have any memory of anything that happened to me during the 4 weeks in Russia preceding that and very little between those weeks and my having entered a hospital in Toronto in mid-December.

The Petersons have never released the names of the psychiatrists, but they have disclosed that they are practising in the north-east US and are Americans.

He was diagnosed after having been admitted to a hospital in the US.

Much truth in what you post.  Do you see any fundamental differences between 'created' nihilistics and nihilistics born and bred?  If the former ('created') label applies to any group - is it not meet for a society governed by the loving social science elite to deconstruct this false paradigm that created it and rebuild it so as to not create nihilists as well as uncreate those it has created?

Is it not pure discrimination NOT to do so?

Perhaps just compensation is due..... for harm done.....

Truly there is much water to travel under the bridge yet... and the flow has merely begun and awaits the ice melt of the Masculine Spring...
