Who has the most incoherent philosophy, and why is it Jordan Peterson?

I've watched much of his material, most of which are class lectures. I find it incredible that /pol/ hasn't pointed out the fact that he repeats the same thing over and over, every class.
His lectures are stream of consciousness ramblings with periodic allusions to Nietzsche, Yung, and Piaget, they have no thesis that I can discern, and he seems to surprise himself when he makes a cogent point. He's basically a smarter version of Joe Rogan, which is why I think he's so popular on /pol/.

Jordan Peterson talks like if you just throw random pages from smart books and read it randomly from floor.

Yet it it still best stuff i seen in years. It is like Trump. If your enemies are losers, you dont have to be top to win.

Yeah. I wouldn't trash the guy, since he seems genuine enough, but the stuff of his I've seen it's him wandering around a classroom and spouting off anecdotes and going off on random tangents.

It's all interesting stuff but very janky.

Kek most of todays young people are uneducated and dumb af,they will worship even a subpar at best mediocre intelectual with little to no achievments.
Sic transit gloria mundi est,in the 18th,19th and 20th century nobody would know or care about what he said since its inconsistent and nothong special,most inteligent people have nothing to learn from him.

He's also selling some self-help series, which amounts to you paying him and his grad students $50 for him to tell you to write in a journal.

>>
>>130273344
Nothing is new about his opinions.
He seems to misinterpret Darwin and it appears that he's a firm believer in genetic determinism for basically everything.
Besides the fact that these ideas are wrong, they basically render the concept of philosophy useless.
Anyway, he seems like a good teacher. I don't see what the big deal is though.

There are more interesting philosophy lectures, sure, but you need a very specialised vocabulary to follow them which most people dont have and wont develop unless people like Peterson whow them why it's worthwhile.

Fuck you if you didnt want an answer. I may defend JBP and i dont think he has anything ground breaking to say either. Amalgamating information is good as a tool, not as an innovation... at least not in the way he has put it. Also he does repeat himself a lot, but that doesnt take away from the message. Truth is always going to be itself, and there are few ways to describe it.

If you are a part of a very small minority, you're right, but overwhelming odds are that you're not.

I'm sure there's a name for this phenomenon where people want to coolly shrug off something new and of great important as "nothing new, we've known this all along". I saw this happen with the Snowden leaks too, and those people who said it wasn't earth-shattering were completely full of shit.

What Peterson lays out is a formidable argument against moral relativism and nihilism that has gone basically unchallenged by intellectuals for decades now.
>>
>>130274691
Yes. Very good. I believe, second only to the creator God, the wisest of the archetypes is the Jester, and perhaps a good Jester both shows other jesters to be nothing more than Jesters while having a good time doing it.

Have you ever lectured without a prepared script to read? Almost everyone tends to ramble when explaining something relatively complex unless they're reading from a script; there are very few lecturers who don't. It's the reason why many profs prefer to rely heavily on PowerPoint presentations (aside from being lazy shmucks). There were only two profs I had classes with in my undergrad that didn't ramble; one was the head of the department of philosophy and the other was a very, very well respected and published prof focused on philosophy of law (also happened to be my favourite prof).

However, beyond rambling, it's repetition is a lecture technique. When you're lecturing to students, you're trying to drill information into their head. To do this, you typically need to repeat the same thing a couple times (usually phrased differently) because you're talking to people who don't know much about what you're talking about. Repetition helps with both rote memorization and actual retention of information, and rephrasing helps with initial understanding of concepts. If you weren't a retard, you'd know all of this. You can't teach a layman algebraic combinatorics, moral philosophy, or critical theory without simplifying language and repeating and rephrasing ideas so that they're delivered in manageable pieces (trust me on the critical theory bit; even basic stuff has to be rephrased so that inexperienced students can consider the application of ideas outside of the text they come from).

>>130274108
The thing is, most people here don't even consider the fact that he's a psychologist. He's not a philosophy prof, it's not his field. Yes, there is cross-over between the fields, but people ought remember that his work isn't really in the field of philosophy.

>>130274304
This is true as well... from what I've seen his lectures clearly aren't for masters or PhD students, they're for undergrads.

"I need feminism because my vagina cramps."

Nietzsche generally doesn't get much love in psychology. He was kinda sorta a proto-Freud if you squint your eyes and tilt your head, but not really. He wasn't a psychologist. There's an application for his moral philosophy in psychology, sure, but actual psychologists have already taken what they can from him and repacked it into a "psychology format," if you will. Those are the important figures in the microcosm of psychology, because they speak the language and apply the ideas in a relevant manner.

Saying Nietzsche is important to psychology is kind of like saying Aristotle is important to psychology. I mean, they both had moral philosophies, didn't they? Again, I think this is an issue of people not realizing that Peterson is a PSYCHOLOGIST and not a PHILOSOPHER.

Peterson is not an elitist. Which to me is funny. Some people really are just biological dead ends. Take for instance his disdain for young men giving up on society. He never acknowledges that if society really did have something to offer them they put down the gamepad and go on with life. Embracing challenge and responsibility still might only lead to one being average. No one cares about average. If they are to die is it really such a bad thing? And that's that.

This statement is what the guy meant by nothing new. Winning means continuing to be allowed to play across the set of all games. He never brings up prison or race and poverty in politics because he's canadian tho.
Peterson is our era's Timothy Leary: extremely relevant in the current state of affairs, far more famous and influential than anyone will admit, but with a clean record, not a drug enthusiast and promoting tradcon relationships.
Tim Leary inspired a whole litany of the current era's influencers- think bill mahr.
Imagine the impact the followers of peterson will have considering his rhetoric is freely available, culturally accepted and positive.
>what is his thesis?
Knowing your own personality types (the ones you were born with) will allow you to achieve greater success and happiness. Furthermore, understanding it's origin and past success/failires in the evolution of the species and society allows you to seek and achieve more realistic goals that must include having a happy family and healthy children.

But they should. Average in this day and age I way better than being a low life social outcast.
Majority of people have shitty uncontrolled lives, and they are a chaotic mess.
Just having your life in order man, it puts you ahead by a huge margin.
JBP teaches us to take responsability, get our life in order, and get to know who we are, where are we going, and why we're going where we're going.

> Take for instance his disdain for young men giving up on society.

Im deferring to the Timothy Leary point on that one. Everyone who was anyone in the 90's pre 9/11 paradise of western civilization knew who he was and either loved him or hated him. They used him as a talking point in many political debates about drug policy, the war on drugs, and being a responsible working beatnik that votes for reform versus a wistless hippy duechebag. He was a shining example for many of the fatherless children of the 60's and many more who simply rejected their fathers outright.
Peterson is in the same boat as much than a mere influencer. He is the logical rejection of postmodernist hysteria and victim culture in the same way Thomas Sowell slaughtered marxist economics.
The constant chimpouts against him are always nihilistic, never coherent. Power hungry politicans claim he is pure evil because he comitted the high crime of having been born with white skin and a penis. The cognitive dissonance is staggering.
The "millenial" generation was split into 2 extremely unequal sides and most people still dont see the signifigance of this.

>Unless you think he's dishonest.

He has this belief that pathology is ended when a person interacts with the wider world and society in a moral way. What I'm saying is that selection is taking place - many men no longer have an obviously valuable role to step into as bread winner. So now they have no role and no motivation to claim responsibilities. So they drop out. It's almost Darwinian but not quite, here's why.

Natural selection has it's goal in reproduction, and ends in death. Society, such as it has grown today, casts many young men into the shadow. But those men are still alive, they are not dead, and therefore still undergoing selection. In their souls will grow monsters. I think we've seen the beginning of this with GG and the Trump election. I don't know how it will play out.

Exactly.
Petersons extended archetypal personality mechanics is the only psychological discussion that includes this dichotomous break and its implications.
Without saying woke, lets just gloss over the two narratives- because everyone is well versed in them- and dive straight into the implications.
Marxism is entirely based in the resentment of haves vs have-nots.
Young males of any race that ever so much as mention anything near a conservative talking point are being beaten and tortured online for all to see. They are expelled from school, arrested for hate speech, and can now be legally stripped of their parents and placed into a pedophile reeduction camp. This same thing was happening in my generation to anyone that recognized Saddam Hussein as the single most evil person that ever lived. I was in the environmental science magnet in my shit city school because they let us go outside, and the last white male teacher we had was fired for breaking down the quarter of a billion people that were starved to death after Saddam single handed and purposefully destroyed baghdad bay- the largest, oldest, most biodiverse brackish water estuary on Earth just so noone could resist his might. The only other people from my city that i met in the army over 7 year period all had this same teacher at this same school. He was the father we never had, and he was punished for it, for standing up to evil at great personal cost, and it radicalized all of us.
This is what Peterson is for the entirety of Generation Zyklon. And worse, he knows it. He admitted on shit-rogan that he was the double edged sword. But if no one else will talk about the dichotomy that does not mean it will disappear.

Trying to change what is coming- yes.
Getting credit for it- no.
We know the marxists are out in the streets releasing their existential angst on innocent people for the crime of wrong think.
Peterson is the only person that has wver acknowledged the backlash that ALWAYS comes from this.
Disgust.
A small minority of the last generation was willing to fight evil. We were punished for it. A much larger minority is being punished for their skin color, hetero-nature, want for a tradcon family of wife and kids, unwillingness to become a tranny, and for simply being male.
The new evil is the violent left of the elite US political class. Their lack of critical thinking and foresight is overencumbered by the proliferation of this violence. They choose their own oppressors and attack at will. They are killing cops, conservative students, and now even republican politicians. Then they blame these very kids who are still in school who could not possibly be to blame.
The kekistani fags are just the beginning. They are cringe worthy try hards that troll in real life. The violent backlash against them is what is important.
What do the kids see at the clashes? Grown ups that make arguments with facts and reason being attacked.
But by whom? This is the pinnacle of Petersons teaching. What symbolism is being expressed for all to see? Who is really oppressing who? And why?
Red Flags with a Hammer and Sickle.
Black Flags with ISIS labels.
Drug addicts, atheists, democrats, trannies, and muslims killing cops and white people.
They are burning down their own neighborhoods.

I don't think I can give you an universal definition because civilizational fundaments aren't as easy to empirically get a grip on as their consequences but in my point of view the most basic fundament of western civilization are moral values and the stories of our ancestors, specifically the inherent moral values of christianity and cultural traditions

It's easy to define concepts, hard to define reality.

Chomsky is a shit tier linguist though, his theory that "language is hard-wired to our brains" has been rebutted, because his initial research only included indo-european languages. OF COURSE RELATED LANGUAGES HAVE THE SAME COMPONENTS. But further research suggests that other languages do not follow the same logic as indo-european ones. He was only popular because he put forth a universal theory of language, which was very desirable in the 70s as progamming languages started popping up. One language to rule as all.

He will live long enough to see his "contribution" to linguistics destroyed. That's his curse. And a blessing for the rest of us.

First of all I didn't say you were against them, I said you're using the same playbook as the people who are against it

Second even though these fundaments are in my opinion not 100% clear, I know for sure that moral values rooted in our traditions are a core part of them and if I see people who want to destroy these values and traditions then I'm pretty certain they're fighting against what I regard as good so they are my enemies

Peterson himself said the virtue he values the most is truth, which definitely can appear incoherent because the truth leads just about everywhere. You can learn one truth, and come to a conclusion that seems airtight, but then you learn another truth that can shatter that previous conclusion, and another and another. Following the truth can appear... unstable.. fluid? But it only appears that way because you generally need to change your own perspective to accept a new truth that has the potential to shatter your old identity

I would actually say those things are points he makes to support his central idea of proper progress. Really, that is what its all about, to me at least. Identifying the correct measures of success, then determining a method for measuring them, and then formulating a hypothesis as to the best way of achieving it. I'd say its something like:

The measurement of life success can be largely subjective, but areas of analysis can be cross-examined and compared to create some level of objective measurement. These areas typically point to something that resembles an evolutionary model, showing certain strategies and emphasis of certain attributes, over long periods of time, provide the highest level of success across different levels of analysis. This evolutionary model, while now best seen through the method of cross examination of objective measures, has been studied and examined in the past through mythology and the creation and refinement of archetypes through the cultural Darwinism and clash of people and civilizations. These archetypes amount to something of a collective consciousness which people can then attempt to embody as a means of transcendence of the self.

>>130282803
Tradition implies ancestry, ancestry implies cultural homogenity

I think the idea of race is very real but historically it has happened really often that tribes fought against each other, one of them won and the men of that tribe impregnated the women of the other tribe

That happened God knows how often in the last at least 300.000 years which is the age of the oldest homo sapiens fossil ever found so we'd have to admit that the reality of races essentially originates first from geographical dispersal of human populations and second from the intertribial mixing among those geographically dispersed population

I know what you mean, but the fact is, a lot of people who hang out here aren't in the best place in life, and before anybody can create productive, political change, they need to get their own shit together.

That's what I mean, he's basically using an audience of fuckups to stay relevant but the thing is I don't think his advice is very helpful at all. He doesn't seem to challenge his audience much at all, he'd rather they stuck listening to him than "growing" if you will, trying to portray himself as a guru to these people and I find that quite disingenuous.

I'm sure when he was arguing with those trannymonsters it was all genuine, but now it's just become a cult of personality and he's totally playing up to it.

As far as I can tell, his thesis is that we all need to find a way to fufill the ancient myths in our personal life, sort ourselves out, rescue our father from the underworld, etc. Doing this leads to happiness because these stories are models for nearly all cultures, so we all tend to think these mythological characters are the greatest archetype of success.

It just boggles my mind how did you come up with this. What made you think this ? Where did you get the impression that he's doing these things ?

Like, you're just making stuff up, something that can be said about anyone.

The fact is, he's as genuine as one can get, he's highly cosistent in his opinions, views, and the way he's expressing himself.

Your 1st and 3rd quote can be said about anyone, and for the 2nd one, he's literally telling people to grow the fuck up, and get their shit in order.

He's been releasing videos on youtube for years, and he still does, all that's changed is the "sudden following" because his views resonate with people, and he became popular only because of one viral video that he didn't even make.
