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 …

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!

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?
-
No one is speaking to them. And its not just "white young men" either. His self authoring program has boosted academic attainment and attendance for minority ethnic groups at university.
-
I'm referring specifically to his YouTube content and success, and it's not entirely young men. Women are responding to him too. but it is 90% men, I've no idea the ethnic breakdown
