He knows some of what he's talking about.

I do not like his delivery. He seems to just yell about problems instead of leading responsibly. Anyone can scream like a Karen. The admirable work comes from saying what you know and responsibly building things from this.

For me, 8/10 for good ideas in the chaos of social dialogue. He clearly did not major in business or anything pragmatic because he cannot reach people as well as someone in touch would.

He's also clearly insane about his micro-psychotropic nutrient theories to cope for his lack of traditional power.

Guy is a complete hypocrite and useless. Reminds me of Robert Kyosaki of the financial world. Able to look smart but ultimately a huckster.

I’d give him a 9.

He’s been a clinical psychologist for several decades and has all the credentials. At the risk of sounding like I’m a moron, his main problem is that sometimes he can confuse his audience when he goes off on these tangents/monologues where he strings together these big words to try to explain a concept and you can’t always keep up with him when he talks that way.

His diagnosis of society and what’s happening in universities right now is spot on though and he’s doing something right that’s resonating with a lot of people. Especially men who feel like they have no direction in life.



He also broke down why Joe Rogan is so successful and how he managed to find himself as the top podcaster in the US.

He uses pseudointellectual tools to sound smarter than he is, just like the left which he supposedly despises.

Also seen pic where he allowed his daughter put makeup on him to make him look like a tranny, and then she posted it to social media.

And then there are pics from his house where he's wearing a gas mask and has paintings of the Russian revolution with Lenin and chit on the walls. Strong degenerate occult/Eyes Wide Shut vibe.

m8 I gave him 8/10.

He specializes in a field of 98% nonsense people who did not succeed conventionally use as a trick to grift weaker people.

he has a lot of cool ideas and stuff.

but like a couple months ago he participated in a guided meditation with his daughter and said he had never meditated before. then when the meditation was done he said it was "unbearable".

i was like LOL WHAT. how can this guy who has had all these issues never learned to be with himself and his mind? no wonder he has so many problems, and for every problem he solves there's like 10 new ones in his life. he's the exact type of person who should meditate.

so at that point I realized that what was coming out of him was not really from experience but rather just some fun thought experiments he's had in his mind. basically he's a crazy person.

i'm glad he's been able to help motivate some people to live better lives though. also he's anti-woke and is pretty clear on expressing why. huge points for me.

7.5/10.

He’s an addict, I honestly don’t believe he ever got sober

He’s done too many drugs and is fairly delusional at this point. At one point he had some great ideas/theories in psychology, but after all the years of scripts abused and possibly his own mental health deteriorating his delusion of grandeur has surpassed just typical narcissism.

And clearly looking at his daughter, mental health issues run in the family.

I like him for his fighting spirit and willingness to have conversations with some of the most low IQ subhumans humanity has ever produced, but I also think he's somewhat overrated.

He does aim for people who seem more lost than most competitive people.

He's a benzo and opiate junkie who claims to be clean now.
If you want a true hero, idolise Eminem. He went deep into benzo/alcohol addiction but came out the other side and still releases dope beats to this day.
Only difference is Em doesn't have the audacity to tell you how to live your life.

Getting really sick and tired of people discrediting JP for his benzo addiction. The guy’s wife has been terminally ill for years and on top of that he has to deal with death threats and people hating him for simply expressing his views.

So the guy got addicted to prescription benzos for a couple years and that’s the end of him? Everything he has said is bullsh!t? I disagree with that.

Does it make him hypocritical on some level when he says “Get your own house in order before trying to solve the world’s problems?” while struggling with addiction himself? Maybe. But it doesn’t mean that he’s wrong.

No its the fact that he doesnt practice what he preaches and in his books he expects you to get over and deal with all your lifes problems no matter how brutal they might be. Him becoming an addict just shows how mentally weak he is, which is a sharp contrast to how he portrays himself in the public eye.
If, in his dumb 12 Rules For Life book, he stated he was an addict and that his advice can only get you so far, that would be 100% transparent and would maintain credibility. But no, he sells his self help books under the false image of a model teacher.

I hear ya.

But I’ve watched/listened to this guy talk for hours and hours on youtube/podcasts and there’s just no way I can simply dismiss all of that compelling knowledge he filled my brain with, simply because he slipped up and got addicted to something he didn’t fully understand.

He’s not a snake oil salesman by any means like some other motivational speakers out there who I don’t wanna name and sh!t on.

As other said itt he has some good ideas.
But he needs to lift and get on TRT or something.
A young bull and an old bull were standing atop a hill looking at a bunch of heifers in a field below.

The young bull says "Let's run down this hill and fuk one of those heifers."

The old bull replies "No. Let's walk down there, and fuk them all."

Eh, the evidence completely contradicts that statement. Considering he fills arenas for his debates on freakin’ religion (when has that ever happened), gets millions of views on YouTube (Kathy Newman vid is BBC’s most popular vid or one of) and consistently one of the top vids on the podcasters channel, he had a lot of reach for someone difficult to understand.

In fact, he’s probably the most popular “intellectual” of modern times, like since Socrates in Greece? Comparatively.

He’s also built an entire business around speaking up against forced use of fake pro-nouns.

I think he reaches a lot of people, his delivery is powerful and it resonates with a lot of people. And a lot of people hate him for it. So he’s in a perfect position of being a love/hate character, rather than a vanilla who cares.
