actually he has 12 suits, one for each of his "rules for life": https://lgfgfashionhouse.com/en/catalog/jordan-peterson-book/
ok but this one slaps:
also are the 12 rules really this stupid and meaningless? "Don't let your children do anything that makes you dislike them." like wtf does that mean? "Do not bother children when they are skateboarding" ???? "be precise in your speech" yeah sure
Yes, the prevailing critique since the book first came out has been "This is boring fungible self help stuff, why'd you have to cloak it in Jungian mysticism and Fascism? What's that? You're an esoteric fascist? Carry on then."
This is so hilariously self-absorbed, like highschool level shit
"You took me out of context, bucko! You need to watch at least 10+ hours of me crying on Youtube to understand what I mean by defeating the feeemale dragons of chaos! You'll know you got there once you start agreeing with me!"
Yes, they're all useless pablum and Peterson doesn't follow most of them himself. It is astonishing that he is taken seriously by anyone.
The youtuber Cass Eris (who is a cognitive psychologist herself) went though the entire book. It's all pseudointellectual hogwash full off misgony, chauvinism, classism and lobsterson hating everyone who might want to make things better.
oh right, I think I actually watched that one a few years back. Guess my brain just decided Peterson's ideas weren't worth keeping rofl
None of them are good, but 9 is truly wretched
