So that benzodiazepine addiction / all-beef diet / month without sleep / horrific drug withdrawal / eight day medically induced coma / month in the ICU / Covid infection really did fry his brain. You can literally see it. It's not just the dumb argument, it's the way you can see him stumbling and reaching to get there. I almost feel sorry for him if he hadn't so clearly brought it all on himself.




He sounds like a white Christian conservative version of Popa Wu.


Yo the craziest shyt is that he doesn't believe in God, he's fukking agnostic.

This is part of his quest to push "the West" as the savior of all civilization without admitting that he's just pro-white. :mjlol:

I'm going to need to see his full speech for context, even if there is one. This sounds like too much like a beginning of a thought....he could be going either Nietzsche or St Augustine with it.

If this was his final conclusion, he doesn't fundementally misunderstands modern western philosophy and theology.

Dude is highly intelligent but he's also a barbiturate addict that's also high on fame and wealth. Some of the shyt he says is actually profound and some is pandering imho and it looks like he dyed his hair grey to look more distinguished smh

I listend to more of his speech. He isn't wrong because he's talking about Western civilization. You want to understand how we work and think, start with the bible. Cultural relativism 101. What confuses me is he says ethics cannot be derived facts because there are far too many facts in the universe for us to account for (highly debatable but whatever).....therefore objectivity isn't achievable.....wtf has this crackhead been talking about these last 20 years?

Anyways, saying in round about way that religion can be a focus point for soft truths that we can't empirically justify....like Nietzsche said but this time a non believer is actually defending religion. Cocaine is a hell of drug

I feel you, but was there nothing before the Bible in “the west?” Hellenistic philosophy? Greece and Rome is really what’s considered the beginning of western philosophy, and of course it was influenced by the other near eastern civilizations; Sumer, etc. It wasn’t a vacuum and then Christianity.

His audience is right leaning, blue collar to college educated white men. They don't care about non-Western philosophy....they don't care about philosophy at all. All Peterson does is pander to these people. They live a work where Christianity is "under attack" and Peterson's validating their cultural beliefs by hyping up the Bible's significance. Its cultural masturbation at best, western propaganda at worst. AKA his m.o.
