>"Clean up your room."
Is this simple bit of advice the road to success in life?
To you is Jordan Peterson a philosopher or a phony?

I only know about his meme definition of truth for making the existence of God "true".

This is like 20th I've seen this. What does this even mean?

Absolutely nothing. That's the joke.
Same as "eat your food meticulously" advice. Its not meant to make you a great person by making you eat the food, but rather the details of the action change your behavior/mindset on how the world is viewed. Since people normally eat food 2-3x a day, if this process is repeated, a person can readily change their behavior to a more analytical mind.
In the same way, cleaning the room isn't going to be the root of success, but rather mental behavior that reinforces cleaning the room serves as a template to how you should manage your life. Organized, thorough and clean.
i am inclined to distrust rhetoricians.
further, while i have the utmost respect for Jung, i think he was incorrect about a great deal of things;
peterson is drawing tainted water from a polluted well.

Instead of like this
It's like this. Which is stupid and there is literally no reason for it

He's not a phony because a pretty good portion of what he says is accurate, but most of it is very rote and not particularly insightful. If it weren't for the tranny thing he'd go down as a someone passionate about his studies but otherwise not notable to the general public

That's such a specific nuance that only someone who is actually from reddit would be able to recognize it

it's a stupid meme
sometimes you space shit up like this so it doesn't clump too much

He's synthesizing a lot of information in that single phrase. He admires the conciseness of Nietzsche. Nietzsche said he wrote in one phrase what other philosophers wrote in entire books. You will only understand the meaning of the phrase if you listen to Jordan's lectures on personality types. Preview: conscienciouness (not to be confused with consciousness) is the highest predictive of success after IQ.
>Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being careful, or vigilant. Conscientiousness implies a desire to do a task well. Conscientious people are efficient and organized as opposed to easy-going and disorderly.
Now you can't raise or lower your IQ. But you can try to emulate or become more conscientious. In other words, become more conscientious. Clean your room.
