I see. Thank you all, and this response in particular seems to summarize the situation pretty well, so I appreciate it, Foffy.
This thread is a mixture of talking about Peterson's ideas, and that Peterson's biggest enemy isn't even a spooky ghost of postmodern neo-Marxism, but Peterson himself.
I don't think people are pointing and laughing, but highlighting Peterson's absurdity, seeing as people fall for the bait that he's an intellectual know-it-all with a finger on the pulse. He doesn't even do a good job of self-inquiry and especially self-actualization, his two core gimmicks.
You probably see more critics than defenders because Peterson's errors are so vast, and the problem with the usual Peterson defender is they need to offer a literal sermon just to explain on what dimension Jordan is talking on, which you see from the would-be cultists on Reddit and YouTube comments. We even saw a mix of this recently, with Peterson saying something super fucked dumb about enforcing women to supplement the incel problem, and he defended himself by merely showing off one of his cultist fans try and logic his points for him.
Whenever this thread updated the words intellectual with quotes in the title really has given Peterson the labels he deserves. What makes him less absurdist than Deepak Chopra, a guy who gets no major fan base here? Both suffer from the problem of having light understandings of "truth" and then bathe it in intellectual word salad to sound like they are knowledgeable. I know Peterson doesn't like being boxed in, but this thread is one of the better examples I've seen on the internet to properly outline just how out-of-the-box on truth and accountability he really is.
