how do you feel knowing that essentially all human behavior is

I use to really respect this guy and enjoy his lectures until he got his /pol following
He's raking in fat stacks though so I'm happy for him

Why would lose respect for him due to something he can't control?

That's ridiculous. Most of /pol/ hate him when they find out what he thinks about Nazis

He's a smart guy, he knows where his new audience is coming from and is pandering. I even suspect that he shares some of their extreme views.

Either way it just tainted him for me, I feel like any of his new material will be permanently affected by this

Climbing the dominance hierarchy is fancy talk for GETTING PUHSEE. He never really talks about this angle, probably because it contradicts his flimsy religious beliefs. I respect Peterson, but his reasons for faith are weak and absurd. "Believe in obviously falsified and disparate myths because of some ill defined social good that you may or may not reap benefits from." OR, you can get sum PUHSEE. No self improvement needed beyond that. Like everything is geared towards protecting pussy or getting it. Get off your high horse dude.

Dominance hierarchies aren't bad in and of themselves though. If you like something like Magic the Gathering, dominance hierarchies are what push you to improve your skill. You want to be the best, or better than most. They can also be bad too, such as when authority is abused by those in power. It's all a give and take man, you can't get caught up in black and white. The world is grey.

I feel the same as I would if there was a different reason for human behavior, why should I care what the cause is?

I feel bad about the way humans behave.
