When you go from essentially a regular guy to being thrown into the limelight, criticized by millions, loved by millions, and constantly under scrutiny, eventual malfunction is the inevitable conclusion.

Just think of how even and stable things were for him five years ago living in Toronto, and the next thing you know he’s one of the most loved and hated men in the world. Then he was on a worldwide book tour for like a year straight. Them his wife was diagnosed with cancer or something. It would just be a lot to deal with for anybody.

That recent? Looks like he is emotional. I wouldnt say he totally fell off. He always said the mostly likely thing to happen when riding a wave is that you crash.

COVID has fuked a lot of people up. Especially someone like him who probably has enough money to live forever comfortably at this point. I was doing way too much blow from like March-June, and only stopped because I had to be on my game for work again.

Crying over individualism. Pretty much the most Jordan Peterson thing ever.

JP doesn't know everything, but he's a smart guy who found a calling because people (young men) are desperate for words of wisdom, like his.

Haters gonna hate. He's doing his best to survive the chaos he preaches about. I don't knock him for that.

I guess he wasn't that smart after all. Shoulod've taken his own advice.
Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

He got married to a girl he loved and she got diagnosed with a typically terminal illness and he used a prescribed anti-anxiety med to cope?

Peterson isn't some messiah figure... He helped me put my life in order and for that I am grateful.

Yep... Hard for me to judge that. Dealing with my divorce and rarely getting to see my kids was hard enough.

We aren't perfect.

Every situation in life is temporary. When times are good enjoy them to the fullest, and when times are bad you should know it's just temporary and things will change (unless your a rotter)

~ Bruce Lee or sumfing

Life has ups and downs for ALL OF US, including Jordan. Jordan has been through a lot recently, he's a human like the rest of us. (not perfect)

says vague bullchit that sounds wise. Makes a boatload of money from it

Cant knock the hustle, but thats what it always was. Buddy was a college professor who's now worth millions. But like my guy Jay says, 'only so long fake thugs can pretend'.

Explain how he was a fence sitter? He was pretty much the opposite. He was extremely clear in his views about free speech, Marxism, leftist ideologues, etc. He was also very clear and pragmatic in his advice on how people can better themselves.

Literally millions of people understood what he was saying.

He would use strange words and phrase things in unusual ways at times, but so what, lol?

Google the big words if you don't know what they mean.

Explain how he is a grifter.

As far as his dependency, he, like so many others, got hooked on anti-anxiety meds when he fell into a depression over his wife's cancer diagnosis. Terrible situation but it happens. As far as people saying he isnt liked (which is why i think you call him a grifter), he just went against the liberal narrative (of being forced to call someone by theirpreferred pronounons. Its ridiculous that a college full of adults, forces you to call someone by made up pronouns and punishes you when you dont. That is not adult behavior) and when you do that, you automatically become the bad guy.

He has a nervous system disorder caused by benzo withdrawal. This is a real thing and can be incredibly severe and permanent.

he became addicted to prescription painkillers
he had to go to detox
he’s had pneumonia
suffered neurological damage
he’s got problems with his relationship with his adored son
he contracted COVID-19
His wife has a fast growing cancer that usually has a 100% death rate.

All this in 2020

These are all facts I just found out about him within a minute of google search and I
Didn’t even know who this guy was before this thread.

Guy has done nothing but positive things with his "power" whether you like it or not. The guy seems cursed to be honest.

I enjoy his thoughts and agree with a lot of his views. All the best to him

Yes he's convinced men (whites especially) to be more atomized and liberalized than we already were. Hail Peterson!

Lol the guy literally peddled such platitudes as "Clean your room" and "Don't bother skateboarding children" and the morons ate it up again like he was some born again Zenon.

People were going to wake up sooner or later.
