Professor Jordan Peterson explains the dangerous of drinking alcohol in this powerful new video

*he has those darned liberals to thank that he hasn't been fired but instead protected to the nth degree.

Okay, then, how about you run down to the street corner and try out some heroin? Get back to us in a couple of weeks and we'll see where you're at?

He does well in his field.

I would not consult him too eagerly about hard sciences.

What? alcohol is bad!? Groundbreaking!

What’s he gonna say next, ‘eat your vegetables’?

More cutting edge insight from the Professor who made a career of regurgitated Jungianism. Guess he’s outta rehab?

You should do speaking engagements about how damn awesome you are. You've already started.

I dropped out of university and I don't drink alcohol by choice. I've never had a problem with it on the occasions I did drink. I've watched some of Peterson's stuff. I think he's bright enough but I'm not going to waste 10 minutes listening to what I know to be common sense: Everything in moderation.

A bit of a tangent, but have you ever noticed you have the EXACT same accent as him?

He was nearly fired. He's survived a couple of misconduct hearings. No doubt the university kept him on because he attractedsl attention and therefore $$$.

He's actually pretty awful to listen to in his populist YouTube videos academically. It's all aimed at a very low level. He also speaks terribly, as pointed out by another poster, doesn't breath properly and comes across as hesitant and lacking confidence (some times he is worse than others) and it seems strange that a public speaker hasn't learned to speak from their diaphragm, take measured pauses, etc..

Usually what he says is very generalist and designed to appeal to a certain demographic. For instance, there are a couple of videos of him going around on Tiktok right now of him saying that men don't want to marry clever, successful women and another of how he's spent years "working with law firms" and all women lawyers retire in their thirties because their rich successful husbands take care of them.

Unfortunately, some guys take what he says and run with it and he's become the poster anti hero of behaviours such as negging and the Incel movement l, which are actually very harmful to society and, at a lower level, result in a lot of men being rejected by women due to their behaviours

I wouldn't tend to follow his word as gospel. He makes a lot of errors in his thinking and while it's not entirely his fault he's popular with the Incel movement, he hardly discourages it.

Save your future Jamin. Join the AA!

This is the same guy who made a living telling people to get their house in order before criticising others while being absolutely addicted to pills. Should have taken his own advice lmao.

I’m a fan of his work. The early maps of meaning podcasts are really good. Like everyone on earth not names Jesus, some of the stuff he says is incorrect, but this certainly lots of good stuff there. His basic thesis is : life sucks, you need to do your part to make life not suck to the point it’s worth living. That’s tremendously powerful. I’d challenge you to point out an idea of his that’s strictly wrong. Yeah goofy voice whatever - ever hear teddy Roosevelt’s voice? He sounded like a jockey.

Yeah I’m not taking advice from a guy who had to run away to Russia for months to detox from benzodiazepines.

With almost everything in life, alcohol is great when enjoyed in moderation (Heroin might be one of the exceptions).

I guess I learned to drink alcohol in moderation from my parents and the abuse part of it I saw with a lot of other people in my club.

In the last couple of years I had to learn how dreadful evenings with others can be when there is no alcohol.

So yeah, I am all for it, in moderation.

It's always the drug addicts who think there's no such thing as control. For instance, I have a drink about once a month at a restaurant with my meal. News flash, drug addicts, it's possible to be disciplined and in control of your body. Just because drug addicts have psychological issues that make them prone to being an addict chasing some feeling they'll never find in drugs/alcohol, doesn't mean we are all like that.

Anyways, good for him for being in recovery. But it's always laughable when addicts generalize the entire population as the same as them.

Gerneralization is the guy's whole gig. He's probably helped a few wounded souls but as a broad-based motivational speaker, he is a snake oil salesman.

Peterson is a sham, psuedo-intellectual. His quasi-libertarian leanings found a magnetic pull with the rise of the Tea Party and the election of Trump. He had his moment, but he's been smoked out and crumbled when the light was shown upon him.
