Yeah, this manifesto is just notes from a Jordan Peterson MEN DO THIS WOMEN DO THAT lecture.

Peterson is decent when talking about symbolism in mythology and religion but gets completely broken brained when he tries to apply that poo poo to the real world.

Well, this didn't take long...

Read his self description and say that he does not have some sort of personality disorder.

Jordan B Peterson's CV posted:

Dr. Jordan B Peterson has been a dishwasher, gas jockey, bartender, short-order cook, beekeeper, oil derrick bit re-tipper, plywood mill labourer and railway line worker. He’s taught mythology to lawyers, doctors and businessmen, consulted for the UN Secretary General’s High Level Panel on Sustainable Development, helped his clinical clients manage depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and schizophrenia, served as an advisor to senior partners of major Canadian law firms, identified thousands of promising entrepreneurs on six different continents, and lectured extensively in North America and Europe.

He has flown a hammer-head roll in a carbon-fiber stunt plane, piloted a mahogany racing sailboat around Alcatraz Island, explored an Arizona meteorite crater with a group of astronauts, built a Native American Long-House on the upper floor of his Toronto home, and been inducted into the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka’wakw tribe.

With his students and colleagues, Dr. Peterson has published more than a hundred scientific papers, transforming the modern understanding of personality, and revolutionized the psychology of religion with his now-classic book, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief. As a Harvard professor, he was nominated for the prestigious Levinson Teaching Prize, and is regarded by his current University of Toronto students as one of three truly life-changing teachers.

He’s a Quora Most Viewed Writer in Values and Principles and Parenting and Education with 125,000 Twitter followers and 35,000 Facebook likes. His YouTube channel has over 200 videos, 275,000 subscribers, and 12,000,000 views and his classroom lectures on mythology were turned into a popular 13-part TV series on TVO. Dr. Peterson’s online self-help program, the Self Authoring Suite, featured in O: The Oprah Magazine, CBC radio, and NPR’s national website, has helped over 150,000 people resolve the problems of their past and radically improve their future.

This alt-right kick seems like insurance for when he inevitably gets caught loving students and loses his university job.

If you want to complain about the culture of a job you hope to keep, you talk to your HR rep about it. If you want to get fired, you bitch to everyone. This guy would probably still have a job if he'd just not deliberately tried to piss off most of the people in the building.

He doesn't say cultural Marxism, but I guess he does imply it when he says the recent turn to hardcore identity politics is a manifestation of the same will that led to communism but now communism is discredited so it has to go somewhere else.

he wrote a 10 page email/memo that everyone in the company could see that talks about a bunch of poo poo but focuses on diversity and gender differences. he says that googles aim to be diverse and tolerant ended up creating an environment that prevents them from tackling the real issues, and those issues happen to be the D&D character sheets for Male Human and Female Human player characters

like dudes are better at coding and object work and girls are better at aesthetics and social interraction. he says googles corporate environment has prevented them form having an open and honest discussion about acknowledging these truths and, i guess this part is more implied, ensuring the right people end up in the right positions.

he makes a couple sort of legitimate points like there being classes for only certain ethnicities or women only classes. however (and i only skimmed my way through it) he doesnt actually mention what those classes are so im gonna guess it was a point he knew better than to actually make fully.

Darkman Fanpage posted:

A Jordan Peterson-influenced "classical liberal" wrote about how it was natural that woman and certain minorities would be less inclined to coding jobs so it was logically wrongheaded to try to force parity in employment, and he says training programs that exclude people based on race or sex are discriminatory, people have to be looked at as individuals, that Google was hamstringing itself by not allowing right-wing views, etc.

The most important part of it, even though the author didn't intend it that way, was when he said the reason Google should hire more conservatives is that they score high on Conscientiousness (he references the Big Five constantly because of the Jordan Peterson influence) which is a useful trait in coding. It's important because other than that unconvincing point, he didn't present any case at all for how hiring conservatives would make the company profitable, so for-profit Google had no reason to listen to him. Mainly because a less politically homogeneous workplace would be distracting and impede team spirit with no benefit.
