Nathan J. Robinson's takedown is more gratifying

A few more Petersonisms:

There is no being without imperfection.” No poo poo.

You can’t make rules for the exceptional.” By definition.

The future is the place of all potential monsters.” The future is the place for all potential everything.

People aren’t after happiness, they’re after not hurting.” I’m actually after happiness, thanks.

You cannot be protected from the things that frighten you and hurt you, but if you identify with the part of your being that is responsible for transformation, then you are always the equal, or more than the equal of the things that frighten you.” Unless you are frightened of leopards, and are subsequently eaten by leopards.

It runs out of steam once Tom Lennon shows up/the movie shifts focus away from Michael Shannon. It’s worth watching until the precise moment you realize you’re bored with it.

I will never stop finding it funny that whenever Kermit says "bucko" he wields it like he's saying "oval office", as though it's got some transgressive power instead of making him sound like a joke.

I like Contra when she’s speaking in interviews and on panels, I just don’t care for her style of videos. 🤷🏾‍♀️

vvv She was great on the Michael Brooks show, and to my surprise, the interview with Blair White which I initially thought was a mistake for her to do. I just don't care for her characters and gimmicks in her video essays. vvv

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

Someone made a joke about reading the "this is my becoming" scene from Manhunter in petersons voice and it made me realize that part of the appeal of him is that he's basically a Thomas Harris character in real life, but incredibly lamer

This is interesting, and it gives some clue as to how Peterson was able to get through Harvard. He has a certain gift for language. But as the reviewer points out he does not have a coherent philosophy.

And all the crazy poo poo he's said about women and his intrusions into the culture war on the batshit crazy side makes me think that, while this book may present him as a good person, he's actually harmful to the kind of society I would like to see exist.
