yeah i'm very strictly a "what is the effect of this thing on the system" type of generalist. like, step back, pretend you're a martian, etc. what is the effect of this Peterson fellow? my conclusion is that he is a very large net positive

Someone doing the hard work of teaching alienated, despairing young men that they ought to get their shit together instead of radicalize and turn violent. Yeah, massive net positive despite his occasional cringe-takes.

he rightly identifies the true, deepest core of the problem -- nihilism and its relation to the fact that **sentient beings need a purpose** and without organised religion, a disorganised facsimile of a religion arose and with great destructive power

he leans mystical, i have my own answers that are far simpler, but the reality is there is both no god and yet there is a purpose to existence, and there is an "objective" right and wrong

or if there are gods they are us / they are aliens / whatever
