agreed, the normies embraced him so the losers hate him now.

I've always hated him. I tried to jump on the initial bandwagon and get some knowledge from him and watch videos with titles that had to do with my specific situation but he does nothing but ramble nonsense and people lap it up.

Didn't expect this cash grab from him really, it's the most mundane and repeated shit. Maps of meaning is good.

Nobody is Canada has ever produced out like oot.

>cash grab
fuck you commies are hilarious. can't even understand that someone can have intentions of wanting to help people and also make a buck at the same time.

pathetic really.

Canadians always say that but we wouldn't say you pronounced it that way if you didn't.

>help people
He gives generic advice that your parents or your teachers probably gave you but you didn't want to listen.

I think all the money went to his head. Last I checked the guy was making 60K a MONTH on patreon, he's literally making more than your average CEO doing this stuff.

>He gives generic advice
If that's what you think it is, the millions of people subscribing to his words is a tell-tale-sign that it's not a generic as you think. The fact you bring up he's making money off his own work is telling how much of a little weasel you are.

i read it and it hasn't done much. 50% of the book is just filler tangentially related crap.

And cardi B's debut album went gold in a day, what's your fucking point? Popularity doesn't mean it's good. The only reason millions of people give a fuck about him is because he said that some pronouns are dumb. I didn't even bring up the fact that he's making money, you're responding to the wrong person. I don't give a shit that he's making money, I just give a shit that his advice is incredibly generic and vague. Think for yourself, twat.

>instantly calls me a commie
Anyone got that "inoperable" pic? Your virtual dad brings nothing new with this book, those looking for help would have equally benefited from any other shit.

Wow, making money off your own work is such an evil thing isn't it?

Well excuse me. What's do generic and vague about his advice? I'd like an explanation.

An enjoyable read.
The basic message is: grow the fuck up, everyone suffer, stop being a stupid faggot and do something about it.
Not the kind of words to please most of the robots here.

Listen to his fucking lectures. He's just going on and on. I've seen him talk for half an hour about how boys try to impress girls.
>clean your room, kill the dragon and save your father
What the fuck was one supposed to do with this "advice"?

>advice
It's anything but advice silly user, read the book before sperging non-sense.

No I want you to tell me.

I just fucking told you dipshit reread my post

Money isn't the point you dimwit, everyone is sucking his dick (including you) because he put common sense under a pretty cover.

youre supposed to clean ur room

Yeah, my mom told me that shit all the time but no one fucking paid her for books about it.

Your post had nothing in it retard.

Someone made it the point and it wasn't me. Of course this pathetic board hates the guy, his advice is to own up to your own faults. Like fuck anyone where is going to take that step, the entire world is out to get you, and girls are nothing but sluts.

Sorry we're living in perilous times and someone offering such traditional advice is help to a high standard, but that should tell you everything you need to know about the state of the West. If you're not a complete retard that is.

If someone is going to expend a lot of effort on something that will hurt them, they better have some worthwhile payoff or goal in mind at the end or it won't seem worth it, and they won't do it.

"Clean your room" "slay the dragon" "save your father". I won't bother going back and forth with a dick riding jackass like you who ignored all this advice when your mom gave it to you but suck Jordan's balls when he gives it to you.

Yeah so you don't know what you're talking about, got it.

Eat a dick, cunt. I know exactly what I'm talking about. Explain to me what "clean your room" means. Explain to me what it fucking means to kill a mythological creature. Explain what he means by "save your father". Tell me how "sort yourself out" isn't vague.

At least Ethan Van Sciver illustrated it.

No you don't, because his biggest takeaway message is that every person on this planet is capable of unimaginable evil, and the way there can be paved with good intentions just as well as it would be paved with bad ones.

Slaying a mythological creatures means what it always meant, to venture into the unknown and make someone of yourself. Save your father means preserve what is good and true, and what works. Sort yourself out means get rid of what bullshit you can and be a person who can live and act in the world properly.

>everyone is capable of doing bad things
>make something of yourself
>remember right from wrong
>be a good boy
Yeah, basic fucking shit that your mom said to you before you went outside to play.

That's not basic fucking shit otherwise more people would understand this.

>That's not basic fucking shit otherwise more people would understand this.
I have some bad news for you bucko...

It's gonna change you're life man.

You're a fucking naive retard. Do you talk to many people face to face on a daily basis?

Yeah, it is basic shit. You just didn't listen when your mom told you to be a good boy at school. Another grown man tells you "behave yourself today ok? And clean your room when you get home" and you think it's fucking genius.

Yes, and most of them would not be able to figure this stuff out on their own.

Says who exactly?

Says the person you asked, dumb fuck.

a complete nobody.

I Stand Up Straight with your shoulders Back

Most human beings know this. Most humans know that being bad is bad and being good is good. Most humans know that they should get out of their comfort zones and create lives. This is common sense. Jordan just says it in a slightly poetic way and hates tumblr SJWs so you think he's Einstein.

I - Stand Up Straight With Your Shoulders Back

You're so mad.

Wow mom thanks! I'll keep an eye out for him!

IV - Compare Yourself To Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Else Is Today

V - just b urself

Paying for this book is like paying for porn. There's loads of it for free and you should be well aware of this by the time you're 12.

Maybe someone with more than half a brain will read it.

V - Don't Let Your Children Do Anything That Makes You Dislike Them

Attached: Rule 5.jpg (916x1200, 153K)

See there we go, it's always back to the money. What is it, jealousy?

You guys know there is a lot more depth to it than just the chapter titles, lol.

>oh now user, you can't go your whole life trying to keep up with the Joneses. Don't compare your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel.
Wow mom, really gets the noggin a-joggin. I'll ponder on that one.

What's your obsession with your mother? oedipal?

>you should always tell the truth, user
Yeah mom, I watched Pinocchio, I know.

IX - Assume That The Person You Are Listening To Might Know Something You Don't

I'm not sure what you think you're doing. He admits that he's largely just regurgitating what illiterate goat herders have figured out 2000 years ago.

X - Be Precise In Your Speech

Jordan Peterson is an internet dad for people who grew up fatherless but he's "teaching" you a bunch of things your mom probably already told you.

XI - Do Not Bother Children When They Are Skateboarding

Attached: Rule 11.jpg (915x1200, 80K)

>speak less and listen more. There's always someone smarter than you.
Thanks mom!

You seem like the kind of person who doesn't really know too many moms and probably never went over too many friend's houses when he was younger. Is that about right?

>user! Why would you say something like that?! You should think before you speak!
Sorry mom.

XII - Pet A Cat When You Encounter One On The Street

Attached: Rule 12.jpg (922x1200, 48K)

So why the fuck do you retards worship him like he's the Second Coming?

Look at these two quirky ones! Haha, that'll definitely give you a break from all of the serious philosophical talk!

peterson does reinstate the obvious but it's not in a redundant way. it's more like he explains why the obvious is the obvious, and a lot of people can't do that. that's why people gravitate towards him.

Yeah, he probably elaborates on them, which isn't necessary because all of the titles are pretty self explanatory.

>So why do you [strawman i've constructed of you]

So you're admitting you're shit-talking something you never bothered to read.

Ok why do you think he's so smart if he's just giving you advice that people have been giving for thousands of years

I'm not shit talking the book specifically, im shit talking the author, who I've listened to many lectures by. He says basic shit and this thread proves it.

XIII - Buy my rugs goy

He provides a useful summation of these rules and a clarification of the reasons behind them which is helpful for many people. Never said he was 'so smart' or his ideas are totally original although as a former Harvard prof with 20 years of clinical psych practice and 100+ published research papers it's probably fair to say he's of above average intelligence.

I don't see how that's a problem, given that even people who are aware of basic shit often don't DO that basic shit. He provides background and reasons behind why you should do it and motivates a lot of people to do it, which is helpful.

Why do you need an explanation of why "stand up straight" is good advice? How can you write a whole chapter on that.
>it makes you look more confident and feel more confident. People react well to confidence.
There, I just explained it in two sentences.
