maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



I like Crowley because a lot of his stuff was just outrage-trolling Christians or made up on the fly to scam wealthy women into giving him money.

Peterson sucks because he is ultimately shilling the same fundamental values as a hardline Christian but is incapable of admitting belief even to himself - he cries when discussing Jesus because he's terrified that God might actually exist (his words). He wants the emotional safety that a rigid society provides but must argue for it from a shattered perspective camouflaged by dumbass clipart chaos dragons and insisting that fairy-tales reveal some mystical truth of existence because he lacks the personal strength to commit even to something that nobody can prove wrong.

took me a minute to catch up with the tweet thing. As far as I can tell, this is what the tweet was. It's behind spoiler tags because it's superemely not a cool thing to say and anyone who is sensitive about trans issues should skip it.

I still get brainlaughs from the obvious point that parents have been telling their kids to tidy their rooms but as soon as its phrased by jordan peterson suddenly its Gospel and Magic and True.
Here is an iteration of it:

Well the book did not just advise people to clean their rooms (although I understand that’s one of the possible starting points of dealing with depression) and even if it did, when parents tell their kids to do it they are usually terrible at explaining WHY the kids should do it or come up with terrible reasons.

I think the bigger message of that rule was to clean your room before you try to change the world (as an analogy to sort out your own poo poo before taking on changing other people’s lives or society) which, ironically and very obviously, he is not doing.

That message, like a lot of things he writes, is inherently conservative and designed to put the kibosh on attempts to change things.

I agree, I don’t think it’s a good or even viable ideal or rule. Certainly the moment it’s used against someone else. Just wanted to explain that it’s more than ‘lol clean your room because it’s what you’re supposed to do’

He’s probably a “cultural christian” like Dick Dorkins, where he likes the culture and traditions, like hating women and entitlement to rule, while not being bound to defend supernatural claims. Jorp is a lot more new-age about it, though, like when he implies but is careful not to claim directly that the caduceus is a representation of a dna molecule.

nah. he's definitely not like dorkins in that sense. jorp is fully onboard with all the religious aspects of christianity, he just tries to downplay his own religiosity (very poorly, imo) to trick the new atheist crowd into thinking he's somebody they can trust as opposed to your bog standard bible thumper.

quantum mechanics is provable just by turning on a pentium 4 and feeling that sweet electron warmth that Intel unfortunately found out about in 2004.

so is his argument that he somehow knows more than the entire field of physics or is he being a once-right-broken-clock and saying all the weird woo about quantum mechanics = science means reality is spooky and weird is dumb.

If it's the video with Roger Penrose it's fine (in terms of content) because Penrose does most of the talking and it's safe to say that he knows his poo poo.

and you know, its whatever. didn't make me laugh or nothing. but what has made me laugh a whole lot is imagining worf peterson. the first thing you'll want to do is get the voice right - it's easy as always to go full peterson but in your brain you'll want to add a little worf to it too. he's always going on about cleaning your bat'leth. got real sick for a couple months cause he was addicted to neuro-stimulants and drinking nothing but prune juice. cries constantly as always but anytime he does he does that full on klingon scream in the air deal. im telling you - worf peterson - whole lot of fun

I don't know about Djerp, but I do know many libertarians, especially objectivists loving hate modern physics.
Mostly because of the word "relativity" in "the general theory of relativity". Since relativity is in contrast to the absolute, dogmatic, objective world view randroids think they hold. No I am not making this up.
There were still people arguing against Einstein and in favor of the ether (aether?) when I de-randified myself in 2009.

This is odd because a lot of them seem to think the universe operates on metaphysical laws like a videogame that's inherently biased in favor of straight white republican men, ie, they're the good guys because they're the player characters, which means everyone else is an evil NPC and the player characters have to enslave or exterminate all of them to "Win the game".

What’s funny there is, IIRC (my knowledge of physics is rusty), relativistic equations still give you an objective answer. It’s just that it’s for a given reference frame, not for the whole universe. Granted, those folks have a pretty hardcore definition of “objective.”

When I studied the philosophy of religion eons ago, people in that space were arguing against Einstein too, because the relativity of simultaneity seems to have implications that they really don’t like.
