>implying that's not the face of gender dysphoria

I am trans and have always enjoyed his lectures and recorded classes. He is a strong POV for affirming gender expression and archetypal identification with certain gender norms. I don't think his teaching precludes anyone from expressing for one gender or an amalgam of those qualities, just for remembering that gender is not fanfiction, it is deep rooted and powerful conceptual framework for our actions and ways of living. Rejecting it out of hand and then hypocritically falling into old gender roles is kind of silly and makes pedantic SJWs look like narcissistic people with egos too short so that the point flies over their metaphorical heads.

>>8789598
Peterson is not against marxism. He is against fascism and allowing hate groups to go unchallenged. The two are not the same. His pro-free speech ideas are there because he believes that hate groups use many LGBT and other minority protections as opportunities to confirm their biases and as times to go underground and spawn splinter groups. Lack of free speech gives fascists excuses that can recruit gullible people. The same shit was happening on left, uncaring bureaucrats and academics enabling popular ideas of how to legislate LGBT issues but were ultimately not actual measures: they legislated pronoun respect without a democratic discussion yet the issue trans and LGB people are worried about is DISCRIMINATION. There's a lot more they could have done, but possibly would be "unpopular" so they chose something passive aggressive.

>>8789688
If Peterson came out to his wife and children, he would probably not "identify" as a bizarre gender or as NB, so he's a wonderful ally. Trans people don't need transtrenders ruining their lives with bullshit behavior.
>>
>>8788468
I like him, some of his lectures on existentialism actually touched my soul quite a bit.

But I do have a problem with him, and it's the same problem I have with Zizek. And the problem is that sometimes when he's analyzing a certain X he extrapolates a lot, and with that extrapolation he presents information that is supposed to elucidate X, but the connection between the information he presents and said X is not clear at all, for it is an extrapolation.

For an example, watch the first 10 min of this video, where he analyzes Genesis:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtiRzQMgBDM

Do you guys see the problem? Or am I being retarded?
>>
>>8788468
The only thing I have to go off of is one of those videos of him dealing with protesters, to which I can only say he seems like your average academic who treats a poorly articulated argument as invalid because he's spent so much time studying one or two things that he doesn't feel the need to take shit from anyone anymore. Intelligent but dogmatic.

>Peterson is not against marxism.
He's against authoritarianism, which is what the fruits of the frankfurt school has seeded and which also was the consequences of applied marxism. Now I'm not saying he's pro capitalism or against workers rights or anything like that but that he is simply not an ideologue. I liked his comparison of ideological thinking to demonic possession because that's such a succinct way of putting it.
>Lack of free speech gives fascists excuses that can recruit gullible people.
It doesn't give them excuses, it validates them because their ideas are considered too dangerous to engage in fair discussion which would imply that they are more true than what the establishment are spouting. Additionally it will eventually force them to resolve things with violence because of their pariah status.
>>
>>8789673
Why though? Because you don't like the word?
>>
>>8789786
The shame of Frankfurt School is that people begin to believe that social justice must be tied up in legislative rather than social approaches.

>comparison of ideological thinking to demonic possession
Agreed. I am a big supporter of Zizek's moderate approach to things, that people need to talk about the issue not to engage in propaganda of the deed or to produce legislation that produces revolutionary change, since it becomes dysfunctional because the root of their change is delusional.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgR6uaVqWsQ

>It doesn't give them excuses
I suppose my word choice was less than direct: I meant that it produces "excuses" that are then used to validate their agenda but may not actually be directly logically validating them. It is validating their personal worldview, which happens to be quite narrow. So I agree, exactly, we are speaking of the same meanings.

>force them to resolve things with violence because of their pariah status.
We should, as Peterson says, be more afraid of not speaking what we believe than the consequences of silent. It is time to think and speak and discuss as a society with respect and open dialogue, not whatever has happened with the bizarre leftist progressive bubble of political correctness and niceties.
>>
>>8789826
Not the person you are replying to; however, it is a bogeyman for American rightists to call everything left of normal American leftism (which is moderate rightist or classically liberal to most foreigners) "cultural Marxism," which is nonsense. Social aspects of Marxism are not limited to any academia or really any particular movement. It's a strawman, a conspiracy theory. If you are disagreeable, you are then labeled based on being feminist, socialist, leftists of any kind etc etc "cultural Marxists" who are destroying western societies. It also implies that socialists all agree on what socialism is or how it should be implemented... or that many people among far leftists share ideologies with direct agreement; they Most modern socialists are not Marxists; in an analogous situation, most modern psychoanalytical psychiatrists are not Freudian even if Freud was the basis for their modern theories. It shows massive ignorance of the nuance of socialism.

Gramscianism is hardly a strawman, I mean they teach critical theory in schools and you try to make it sound like it is some shadowy force. You shouldn't use the term "conspiracy theory" either, that's the establishment's choice words to ridicule any criticism or questioning no matter how valid.
>"cultural Marxists" who are destroying western societies.
The point of any revolutionary ideology is to destroy the current society, is it not?

It's pathological for the same reason every ideology is pathological. It never ever tells the entire story.

I mean, ask yourself. Would a Marxist even care that a person in the lower classes worked for 20 years 90 hours a week to become upper-class? No he wouldn't, because a Marxist doesn't care if people are successful in a capitalist framework(Even if their success is predicated on exceptionally individual ability and perseverance), because they believe the framework is corrupt and irredeemable and should be destroyed whatever positive arguments could be mustered in it's defense.

Your response is irrational.

It only tells that you are confused and believe that trans = AGP, which means to me that you actually know what AGP is, and therefore must be AGP or trans yourself... or possibly some kind of masochistic, self-hating trans chaser.

Trans are a mostly invisible group of people; knowledge of their internal discourses is either because trans issues are overwhelmingly interesting to you (unlikely) or because they are interesting because it affects you (likely).

Assuming things about people or making your whole argument about assuming things is willful ignorance.

>>8789963
This is an excellent argument. Marxists can be especially pathological because of their attachment to their inability to produce favorable results- a kind of badge of honor in victimhood- after the failures of so many communist experiments in the last century. Oftentimes, Marxism failed in application to encourage the inventive to be aggressive in any regard. Most everything was done through black market capitalism and systemic corruption.

Systematic rigidity -ironically something Marxists wanted to remove and destroy in capitalism- led to egregious production demands and bureaucratic inefficiency. Thomas Sowell loves to harp on about how simple tasks like painting agricultural equipment in Soviet Russia would often take ridiculous amounts of time because getting the correct, centrally distributed paint for the vehicles was impossible; instead, the workers focused on getting the work done immediately as demanded of them, using instead paint that was available but not rust-proof. The machines inevitably broke down... and the workers were blamed.

>>
>>8790436
He is anti-Marxist in the most severe form, his method is purely idealistic and subjectivist. Peterson's not providing an "anti-ideology", what he provides is a rationalization of ideologies and trying to give it some utility for people to use to their advantage. Ultimately like all forms of psychoanalytic theories it's a doomed project.

>>8789963
>It's pathological for the same reason every ideology is pathological.
Ideology isn't a disease and it can't be cured.

>Would a Marxist even care that a person in the lower classes worked for 20 years 90 hours a week to become upper-class?

You're right a Marxist shouldn't care. There's no point in getting emotionally invested in a particular form of social relations. The entire premise is there is structural limitations to social formations which they all eventually reach.
Capitalism shouldn't be destroyed because its corrupt or irredeemable but only because it has reached its limits and become a burden on further development.
There were emotionally fulfilled and successful slaves and feudal peasants who were traumatized when they became freed, that's something Peterson may be interested in but its totally irrelevant from a Marxist perspective. Marxism is a form of anti-humanism whereas Peterson is a humanist.

I know exactly what you mean. When i first watched his lectures i was like that. But after you have watched a lot of his lectures you know what he means. You don't see the connection right now but like a puzzle over time when you watch you'll get another piece which strings those together. You might get it when you watch another of his lectures which seems unrelated. I don't mean to sound fanboyish but its because his stuff is deep. Like a lot deeper then one thinks. It takes a long fucking time to digest and get his ideas. His statements and sentences are dense.

I admit that there is a degree of intrigue and maybe even appeal to the aesthetics of the more successfully transitioned examples, but between the fact that those aesthetically successful examples are a tiny minority among transgender people(with most of them being absolutely grotesque in appearance) and the fact that even those successful examples come with a plethora of aberrant and socially eroding behavioral patterns(to say nothing about the socially eroding nature of the very concept of transgenderism itself) I'd say that the minuses far outweigh the pluses.

On further listening, I'm still not buying into the way he meshes his political ideas with existential and such. He claims to be anti-ideology but I'm still not really clear on what he considers an ideology, rather than something that's just like a useful generalization (but not quite an empirical theory). His political biases are also becoming more apparent to me and besides his existential/hermeneutic reasons for rejecting e.g. marxism (which reasons still seem as fuzzy as anything else interpretation based, despite his attempts to ground it in empirical science) it seems most of his objections are pretty commonplace objections discussed in traditional political theory.

I guess I'm just really skeptical of claims that jump from abstract personal stuff to macro social stuff. It also gives me the sense of a pre-packaged worldview which, accompanied with some recently trendy political ideas and the fact that people use his ideas to support their own ideologies, makes me pretty hesitant about the whole thing.

Which biases does he have?

>I guess I'm just really skeptical of claims that jump from abstract personal stuff to macro social stuff.
Seems pretty straight forward to me. How many people voted for trump just because they want to watch the world burn? If you go on pol you there are plenty. Why they do that? Their lives fucking sucks. So instead of fixing their lives why not just say fuck it and see how much suffering they can cause?

If you are watching his existential lectures you almost have to watch the lectures that comes before them. Jean Piaget and Rogers. Preferable Jung and Freud as well. His lectures build upon each other.

His basis for rejection marxism is that its a pathological ideology which leads to bad things. And if people had better philosophical frameworks they would not succumb to marxism in the first place.

> also gives me the sense of a pre-packaged worldview which, accompanied with some recently trendy political ideas and the fact that people use his ideas to support their own ideologies, makes me pretty hesitant about the whole thing.
Which world view? Who uses his idea to support their ideology? Are you refering to the alt-right? He is not an alt righter.

not many, most people who voted for trump have seen their living conditions steadily collapse thanks to neoliberalism and sincerely think he can make their lives better
if this doesn't happen you're going to get a lot of cognitive dissonance or more anger

your mistake is to approach ideology as an issue of individual pathology, it's not

Poor wording by me. I meant that he critiques others overlooking of the gini coefficient.

Anyhow, I wouldn't say he explicitly talks about political ideas, as in trying to deal with specific societal issues, but rather discuss ideas from ideological, scientific or mythological/religious perspectives. Though I wouldn't rule out the possibility to device some concrete political opinions from his speech.

No, it's definitely shit even for the more prominent writers.

Peterson's oeuvre and thinking goes way beyond trans pronouns. I'm not in awe of the man, but I think it does him a disservice to mention that primarily. I will say the OP says besides that though. I'd still say it's a bit vague, at least post a nice talk or debate or something.

Fug. I just ordered an unsigned one from a local retailer for more than twice that amount. Shipping would be expensive as hell though. Having a signed book of one of the most important contemporaries would be worth it though.

I don’t think women were discriminated against, I think that’s an appalling argument. First of all, do you know how much money people lived on in 1885 in 2010 dollars? One dollar a day. The first thing we’ll establish is that life sucked for everyone. You didn’t live very long. If you were female you were pregnant almost all the time, and you were worn out and half dead by the time you were 45. Men worked under abysmal conditions that we can’t even imagine. When George Orwell wrote The Road to Wigan Pier, the coal miners he studied walked to work for two miles underground hunched over before they started their shift. Then they walked back. [Orwell] said he couldn’t walk 200 yards in one of those tunnels without cramping up so bad he couldn’t even stand up. Those guys were toothless by 25, and done by 45. Life before the 20th century for most people was brutal beyond comparison. The idea that women were an oppressed minority under those conditions is insane. People worked 16 hours a day hand to mouth. My grandmother was a farmer’s wife in Saskatchewan. She showed me a picture of the firewood she chopped before winter. They lived in a log cabin that was not quite as big as the first floor of this house. And the woodpile that she chopped was three times as long, and just as high. And that’s what she did in her spare time because she was also cooking for a threshing crew, taking care of her four kids, working on other people’s farms as a maid, and taking care of the animals. Then in the 20th century, people got rich enough that some women were able to work outside the home. That started in the 1920s, and really accelerated up through World War II because women were pulled into factories while the men went off to war. The men fought, and died, and that’s pretty much the history of humanity. And then in the 50s, when Betty Friedan started to whine about the plight of women, it’s like, the soldiers came home from the war, everyone started a family, the women pulled in from the factories because they wanted to have kids, and that’s when they got all oppressed.

I don't know why he bothers, why anyone bothers trying to change these peoples' minds. I'm almost embarrassed for him, it's like watching an adult try to teach a retard not to fling shit everywhere.

To "engage" with campus radicals is to tacitly assume that they are capable of logic and reason and that they deserve to be treated as equals. We should just ignore them as much as possible, every time they get a chance to be on youtube they just start acting even more retarded because they want even more attention and sympathy the next time.

Hopefully at least some of them will have grown out of this nonsense by the time they're thirty.
>>
>>8799913
>We should just ignore them as much as possible
Ignoring a problem isn't going to make it go away, I think actively encouraging them to radicalize is a good idea in the long term but for a peaceful resolution they would need to be engaged in debate and so on as Peterson argues. Personally I'd rather solve it with violent conflict later on since their ideology creates dysfunction and weakness and the traditionalists would win a decisive victory.
>>
>>8799940
I don't think Peterson is a traditionalist though, and he'd probably rather avoid violent conflict because he isn't a psychopath.
>>
>>8799955
>I don't think Peterson is a traditionalist though
Of course he isn't.
>he'd probably rather avoid violent conflict because he isn't a psychopath
I do not like violence either but sometimes it is necessary to prevent a greater evil.

Yeah, so maybe you advocate violence, Peterson is against violent revolution though.

I understand that could increase the price, but who exactly sets the price of a book in that case? Because on his Patreon site Peterson says he didn't pick that high price point himself.
