Ignorant, binary opinions about @jordanbpeterson are now tribal membership badges. Culture warriors attribute generic tribal claims to him that he does not hold, afaict. This harms discussion, because what he actually says is different and more interesting.2 replies 1 retweet 40 likesShow this thread -
I write about meaning, nihilism, adult developmental psychology, and religious and cultural history. So does @jordanbpeterson. Our explanations often coincide—because they're mostly mainstream, not original. We're collators & popularizers mainly.https://meaningness.com/preview-eternalism-and-nihilism …1 reply 0 retweets 10 likesShow this thread -
My training was in discrete mathematics, so I try to fit everything into a neat overarching system. Which is pretty funny, because the central premise of the system is that you can't fit things into a neat overarching system!https://meaningness.com/modes-chart 1 reply 0 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -
I tacitly expected @jordanbpeterson to have constructed a system, and tried to figure it out. I suspect now that systematization is not part of his approach. It's literary, not STEM-ish. (But I still haven't read his big book!) https://meaningness.com/resolution3 replies 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @Meaningness @jordanbpeterson
His "system" is order vs chaos, which is more of a meta-pattern than a system. He's looking for patterns that fit the meta-pattern across multiple fields involving humans.

Yes… and, interestingly, mine is “nebulosity and pattern,” which is at least superficially similar. It’s not *versus*, in my case; they are always inseparable. JBP does talk about “balancing order and chaos”; I’m not sure whether we’re on the same page there or not.
