We are now at the point where race, ethnicity, “gender,” or sexual preference is first, accepted as the fundamental characteristic defining each person (just as the radical leftists were hoping) and second, is now treated as the most important qualification for study, research and employment.
This is so funny because being a cishet white male (the default) is the one and only defining characteristic of these schmucks. And being a cishet white male has been the most important qualification for study, research, and employment since forever.

Jorp upset he's been asked to consider other viewpoints.

In Hollywood, memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what color or gender should be in a movie
It's always funny to me when alt right people pull this poo poo out. If they engaged with the left at all, they'd see the left hates this too. Hollywood is shallow and greedy, these quotas and madlib style inclusion aren't real diversity.

It's a hilariously crybaby rant of alt-right and white supremacist talking points which was funny and I got some joy out of his obvious butthurt-ness, but holy gently caress dude learn how to make a point.
There's about 4000 more words than necessary in there does he not know how to make a point in a brief concise manner? I tried reading the whole thing but my eyes just started glazing over as I jumped from talking point to talking point.

Anyways, I hope he relapses and dies of an overdose finally

jordan b "precise in your speech" peterson often runs into the problem that he is pathologically incapable of arriving directly at a point, so he relies on interviewers to shortcut to what he's actually trying to say so that he can claim he never actually said it, and his written work is a labyrinth of anecdotes and waffle designed to wear down the reader.

The very first thing I noticed about this man is that no, he can never make a point. Making a point means he can't eventually walk it back and say "well that's just your conclusion based on my story". He simply continues telling anecdotes until someone else makes the conclusion he wants them to make.

There's something about "Maps of Meaning" that I don't know... entrances me?

Not the book itself, no no. I haven't read it, and I probably won't.

It's the title. It comes across as the title for a book that would have been barely published, destined to be forgotten about for decades, only to be seen in dusty bookstores, in a messy pile of others, while you're looking for something else. It's just one of those "old, random, completely forgettable" book titles, more so than something like "12 rules for life" or whatever the gently caress it's called. Does anyone else feel this way?

Ironic that I accuse it of being forgettable, and yet I made this post. :shrug:

It feels like the plot device from a novel where someone wrote about (plot relevant supernatural power) back in the 60s and only by deciphering maps of meaning can the young protagonist figure out their new power before the spring formal

Fair. To be honest, I don't need "Dragon Lich" in the title to go and read it. Jorp-aside, a title like "12 Rules for Life" would catch my eye and attention way more than Maps of Meaning, which just sounds so horrendously bland.

And those 3 examples you've shown are right on par with that.

Maps of meaning sounds like the title of a self published book that was only read by close family members of the writer, and even then only under duress

There’s something about it’s smug pretentiousness that’s kinda off putting

I think this is just a thing with the entire genre of applied psychology books. A family friend who was a psychologist passed away and when I went through his books they were all from the 70s and all had titles like "Powers of Mind" and "Connecting the lines: Rebirth/Apocalypse"

I mean you say that but I'd totally pick up The System of Objects to check out the back cover, because that is so powerfully unassuming it might be cool. Maps of Meaning sits in the much broader sphere of titles that are both dull and pretentious.

Didn't JP say somewhere - possibly even in the foreword to Maps of Meaning? - that he considered it his magnum opus and a seismic work of intellect that was going to demonstrate how he, Jordan Peterson, had finally figured out how the life, society, the world and the universe worked? And it's (by all accounts and from the snippets I've seen when other people pull them up to mock it...) a deeply impenetrable morass of nonsense about symbolism and Feminine Chaos Dragons that basically boils down to "Women, amirit?" and "Folk tales and legends often contain common architypes and morals that we still recognise today". Genius.
