One might suggest that simply engaging them is losing.

Which is why Peterson is a goddamn hero. He DOES ENGAGE THEM. No one else fights back, they just moan about it on YouTube.

The reason I'm more sympathetic to this is that I know where he's at. I have some astounding stuff that no one else will pitch for me so I have to pitch it myself then I get the blowback you're giving Peterson. Man, it's a bitch.

I am a stoic. This shit is just amusement to me. People that chase success in that way are never happy. They can never be content with what they have, so it's unlikely they can be content with more. People like that are geared towards chasing ephemeral metrics of life success, but they tend to miss the important things. LOTS of people fail to succeed, but they still possess that inner greed for success, so they are quite susceptible to snake oil like this.

If you look at a guy like Steve Jobs, the success was just a product of who he was. He had plenty of flaws, but he wasn't really a greedy person. The man literally wore the same budget outfit every day. So does Warren Buffet for that matter. The guy who started Ikea at least in the 2000s drove around in a beater.

Attachments like the need to be "successful" are poisonous, and Peterson capitalizes on them, throwing gasoline on the fires of people's self-destructive behavior for his own gain.

He's not out there trying to help people to figure out how to achieve contentment, or happiness, or tranquility in life. He's telling them they are all losers and they have to follow him in order to reverse their misfortune. It's silly. I mean.. if that appeals to you, that's fine. I don't begrudge you.

I am more interested in stoics, myself. In particular, I prefer to seek tranquility and contentment. I don't need more. I need to figure out how to enjoy and appreciate what I have. That's not what Peterson is selling.

That's not to say I think people should not attempt to succeed at difficult goals. I definitely think those are good things. What I think is stupid is making those the metrics of whether your life was worth living. Because if those are your metrics, your life very well hasn't been worth living.

Yes, his insight has clarified my thoughts on a couple of very important things. I've never watched, nor could I watch, any of his Bible shit.
He's clarified something you taught me Marty, don't allow Progressives to set the argument, don't let them set the language for the argument. If you do, you lose.
I take on SJWs on a regular basis, mostly winning, but there's insane bullying. If you should ever want to engage SJWs in Facebook land, here's a hint: whenever they attack you personally (and they WILL, in packs), simply type the word "bully." Sometimes you'll have to do it half a dozen times. Don't ever go on the defensive when they deny they are being bullies because their response is a win for you. The next time you engage the same crowd, only a couple "bully" posts will be needed. You know you've won when they ban you.

My posts go into my books. Your posts are at my mercy.
Luckily you believe in liberty or I would fear being banned for making a joke at your expense.

Your ego denies it but Peterson has a lot for you. Here's my read of you: you're not In the total depth of the pit like most men in your position in life because you have self-awareness to some extent. Posting here is your therapy, everyone who reads you knows that. The men Peterson appeals to don't even have that.

People fight back without wasting time or energy on the political equivalent of flat earthers.
Case in point - look who occupies the WH.

SJWism should be fought, but only in ways and on venues where it matters. I’ve never seen a FB “victory” pay dividends. Maybe you have.
