I sort of see Peterson as the @Meaningness of the normies. There are a lot of people out there who need a message like his, and I think it's probably going to be good for most of them. To people who already have Answers, he's apt to seem either boring, silly, or threatening.

> ...then people think their lives are meaningful. But at some point, things actually have to mean a specific other thing. They can’t just mean meaning. “Mean” is a transitive verb. It needs some direct object.

@slatestarcodex Is it really the best that can be said about Peterson ? That he writes moralistic platitudes well ? There's dozens of writers that do that, and more. -
No, it's that he writes the moralistic platitudes most necessary for the current age, in a language understandable by the current people.
-
"most necessary" according to whom. Isn't the point of moralistic platitudes that they don't really change all that much ? Certainly that seems to be what Scott is saying.
