Cult? I'm not convinced. Is it his religion stuff? He discusses psychological meaning & makes compelling arguments as to why it's important. I still don't know what he means by God and I still don't believe in God. Even after buying both his books and watching hours of lectures.https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/954431274210480128 …

Narrative is very powerful in and of itself. I think I get to say that because I know how to do it. I did a précis of the scholarship on point here:https://www.libertarianism.org/columns/stories-vs-numbers …

I don't think anyone here has been a snowflake? I was just trying to see where people were coming from? Its been remarkably civil and informative.

The film is about the phenomenon in universities - and, given the way of modern commentary, alas - has a controversial title. I was not intending to call anyone on this thread a ‘snowflake’, because AFAIK we are all anything but!

Ah I see! Just had a glimpse at the profile and understand now! Sounds like it will be a good doc! Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Oh gosh easy to do :) Ofc if this is to be dealt with thoroughly in a C4 doco, then both the reality of Peterson’s popularity /but also the reasons for that popularity/ have to be brought out.

I think the important thing we need to parse from Peterson is, is he telling young men what they need to hear? or is it just that he is primarily speaking to them and no one else is?
