      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 …

      Yes, to this thread. It's very worrying. https://twitter.com/GodDoesnt/status/954425472447864832 …

      It's the difficulty in disagreeing with him, even partially, without 100s of notifications taking it extremely personally, launching into convoluted apologism or strange woo abt the meaning of truth & referring to him as a father, saviour, hope-bringer.

      The actions of the fan club can't be mediated by JBP though. He's not responsible for them. I'm more weirded out by Corbyns fans tbh.

      Very similar! This is why we've been saying it grows up around him & we need to find something inspiring & unifying which doesn't centre on strange definitions of truth & trad gender roles.https://areomagazine.com/2017/12/08/the-problem-with-truth-and-reason-in-a-post-truth-society/ …

      Replying to @HPluckrose @clakklaa

      I swear I will wear this word out yet. Idolatry. people fawn and worship the person/book/idol/idea, be it Peterson, the Bible, Feminism, Atheism or whatever to the point that they blind themselves to any truth that seems contradictory and must burn all heretics.

      But is showing that a handful of people who allegedly worship Peterson enough to say he is the equivalent of a cult leader?

      Replying to @clakklaa

      Rather than an attack or defence of the man himself as a thought leader, I think the phenomenon is telling. What he is giving them. It's revealing of what people are seeking in terms of meaning, truth, morality in the current mess that we have.

          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 …

          Absolutely. That is what I argued here and why Peterson was relevant.https://areomagazine.com/2017/12/08/the-problem-with-truth-and-reason-in-a-post-truth-society/ …

          I think I’ll alert @Snowflake_Film to this thread, as the people involved will likely have something useful to contribute to Martin’s documentary.

          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!

          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?
