This is what the next Alan Partridge TV show will be isn't it? Alan's got a job on a failing right-wing propaganda station and he's desperately trying to poach his former This Time colleague who hates him.

Obviously this tweet was from the halcyon days of Piers Morgan pulling in a massive 62,000.

Too far fetched, nobody would believe that could happen in real life.

Because Piers never seems to mention the actual lousy viewership figure since the Trump interviews, it was 73,800.

He managed this on a night there was practically nothing of interest on any of the other channels, which universally recorded a series of poor figures.

I guess [based on the previous pages] you guys don't like Jordan Peterson than :D

I've read all his books (not including the meat one :D ), gone to see him speak a couple of times, listened to all the Joe Rogan conversations, have listened to most of content on his channel - I must admit I actually quite like him and I don't really understand the hate. To be fair there are two Jordan Petersons, there's the political one that 'owns the feminists' but I'm more interested in the second Jordan Peterson, the perceptive thinker psychologist who came up through academia, whose sensitive and wants to help people be better. I can be kind of a depressed and anxious dude and his works have helped me. He's like the psychologists for people (perhaps like me) who could maybe benefit from therapy but would never go to therapy, like a parasocial father figure to lots of people offering practical encouragement. He seems to be [possibly wilfully] very misunderstood - he's labelled as fascist or alt-right, but he's like the opposite of toxic masculinity - he cries publicly all the time and always speaks about much he loves his family, I'm quite sure he's not out to hurt anyone, he seems to want the best for people and (I know this isn't an intellectual or quantifiable thing to say) but he seems incredibly nice and decent.

His main message seems life is hard but the best way you can reduce the inherent suffering in life is through self improvement, meaningfulness and being a better version of yourself and taking responsibility.

He is not willfully misunderstood, he's a charlatan and people are starting to cotton on to that. His academic credentials don't stand up either - even his own faculty members at the University of Toronto can't stand him(one called him "the professor of piffle" a couple of years ago). I'm glad he's helped your mental health a little, but please do a bit of further research into who he is, what his opinions are and how dangerous he has the potential to be as a cultural "intellectual."

I'm sure you could think of a reason.

To be more helpful, Peterson is full of gooseberry fool.

Behind the Bastards did a fantastic 2 part podcast on him. It's a couple of years old, so doesn't have his latest bollocks, but does a good job of skewering the grifting transphobic prick.

It's also on Spotify and other podcast apps if you search for it.

He tweeted a photo of a woman from a magazine cover and said the only reason people would find her attractive is because they've bought into the woke agenda. He's a bully and a banana split.

Thx bbz.

One thing I'd add is that I am also a "depressed and anxious" and deeply insecure person, something that's in the process of costing me my marriage and many other things that I care immensely about. Peterson is dangerous *because* he attracts people like us - the message is targeted at people who are susceptible to it. He's not just a charlatan, he's predatory in the way that he dresses up misogyny and hate in pseudoscientific, "intellectual" language. Barnsy said himself that there are two sides to him, including one that "owns the feminists," but surely this recognition that someone has the capacity to spread hatred in such a manner a) precludes them from being a "nice guy," deep down inside, and b) openly reveals the essential duality and nastiness of the con that's being pulled?

I'm glad you've taken something positive from him and he's helped with your mental health but he's not a positive figure.

He's the classic piffle-pundit that strings together enough non-sequiturs with flowery language that anyone not following his meandering arguments get fooled into thinking he's making a valid point. He basically managed to make a career out of managing to make a 45 minute YouTube video that says nothing more than 'tidy your room (and the only reason you let it get messy is because of the feminists)' but because he talks like the Architect at the end of Matrix 2 the easily beguiled think he's making a point.

He's not perceptive, whenever he sits across from anyone who knows what they're talking about and engages in good faith he crumbles.

Isn't he the one who got shown up recently in a debate about the environment? I saw a few minutes of it and he had clearly stumbled in to the wrong room :lol:
