I find it's his detractors that think anyone who listens to him sees him as a messiah.

Most people think he's an interesting guy with some great points, some not so great.
People who hate him put up a 90 second clips to prove their point when you need to listen to 30mins or so, but that requires an attention span.

I have listened to many of Peterson's long-form conversations. I'm not a detractor.

The clip I posted was the full clip posted by Peterson today.

the shill is struggling to cope is he?

What's more disturbing are the thousands of comments in his support.

As a clinical psychologist, Peterson should know he's likely suffering from a psychotic episode.

And yet, he has a legion of disciples who are elevating him to prophet status, if not a messiah.

there's a few on here who do that just because he uses big words. Grin

Some of us understand his "big words" John. If they are beyond your limited vocabulary and comprehension than thats your issue.

Sure, he's not at his best. Just remember he has some serious autoimmune issues so don't be a ctvn and rejoice his ill health.

Have a listen to some of his Harvard lectures, when he was an associate professor there. Very interesting guy.

Jordon Peterson was an associate professor at Harvard, is a clinical psychologist.
John is a house painter.

Yes, I know.

Unfortunately, in Toronto's academic world he's considered an embarrassment to the point that one of his sizable financial contributions made recently there to a childs' welfare charity was returned.

It's a wonderful thing to see Petersen turning more lives around, for the better, than you two cocksuckers could ever hope for.

whose life has he turned around? Apart from his dealers that is ... I'm sure he made a lot of money from Peterson

No. he's clearly had a dramatic effect on many lives.

He can't leave his house without being approached and thanked by many for his help.

It overwhelms him, and causes him to break down in tears.

What kind of a sniveling front bottom would deprive needy children of money because they don't like someone's politics? That stinks.

Yes... it did sound bizarre to me too. Mikhaila, his daughter, being feisty, made a public issue of it.

Peterson was worried that her response would 'start it all up again'... whatever that meant.

Just watched it. I'm not a fan of hers, but she was dead right.

Could you imagine what a snake pit of feckless virtue signalers the Toronto acedemic community would be? The place needs to be sacked by the alt centre.

His years of practising clinical psychology has left him scarred.

Today's clip makes me wonder if he's posing as a Christian messianic icon, 'suffering for all mankind'.

That is really stupid. Common. Base. Plebbie. Unthinking. Are all clinical psychologists scarred? Or only this one, who says things you are miffed about?

You are sledging him without offering any real, thoughtful insight or alternative. Lazy, stupid, snarly. Smiffy, Bwianesque.

We are no longer in the Ukraine, Toto - you need to reason a bit. Sorry if that's above you.
It's the West, innit. Assimilate, Igor.

I'm guessing Canadian sensibility is similar to Australian, in that a Peterson persona would more suit the US than Canada or Australia.

We (and the Canadians) are more self-effacing than Americans, who celebrate wild self-expression in any form whenever they can.

Note his 'wing and a prayer' was directed at Americans.

Just so you know, 'innit' is a cockney expression.

Ukraine doesn't need to know. If you don't tell them, I won't.

'stupid. Common. Base. Plebbie. Unthinking'... Try harder on your adjective recall.

And stay off the piss... He'll be back soon (or will he?).
