        Please do a podcast with @joerogan and @jordanbpeterson. And call it the rumble in the postmodern jungle.

        @sapinker need to do something really controversial for example: say something nice about @jordanbpeterson on a college campus where there are camera phones Personally preferred him before it all went to hell. Bloody respect the hell out of him in the present Also fan of yours

        Peterson thinks the World is going to hell because of a small number of incidents in some universities. He also made a scandal out of a human rights law that adds “gender identity” to a list of groups you for which should not advocate genocide. Lol.

        It is an unreasonably long thread. Will definitely work through it. Lots of responses from people who disagree with how you present the information, but will make up my own mind on that. Don’t over simplify what @jordanbpeterson stood for and against and don’t dismiss it.

        I don't think he made a movement, I think the people you don't like within the movement gravitated towards him and there's a lot of cherry picking all over which complicates reality and understanding. He's brought things to light that are very realresults of neo liberal evolution

        He said as published a book, countless hours of youtube videos, interviews, and diatribes, telling people the philosophy of how to live life and interpret the world.

        When are you two "darlings of the alt-right" finally going to have a chat? 😉 I imagine it's hard for two best-selling authors to coordinate book tour schedules, but it's long overdue.

        Peterson is a mess. He doesn't believe in god but pushes Xtian mythology and rails against atheism. He pushes Jung but misrepresents his ideas and appears not to have been analyzed. He has a mood disorder and compensates with fantasies of slaying dragons and power hierarchies.

        I think Jordan "Clean your room!" Peterson is a bit silly with things but gotta atleast respect his hustle in making his name explode.
