So I've read here, a few times, people looking for a serious critique of Jordan Peterson. For me this revolves around the very core of his philosophy, which is that of meaning, and to me there is something of a hidden hypocrisy there because he mindlessly supports the very system which has destroyed meaning more than anything else. So, what is the contradiction at the heart of his position? Which leads to a critique of liberalism and humanism; the insignificance of such a hollow philosophy forces us to investigate these depths.

Such is the curiosity and cruelty of materialism, it never apprehends the theology which it unveils. And thus we must imagine for ourselves some myth to reveal the true horror. What if, instead, on that day Nemesis had appeared in a moment of burial armistice and tricked the Pals battalions into betraying their oath and firing upon the Germans - to honour great Dolos. It is hard to imagine such a thing, so cruel even in thought, a desecration of the Unknown Soldier - and yet, so fitting. And for liberalism, it would have been the right thing to do, forever turning the dead against themselves; as is its law.
If indeed the pen is mightier than the sword then we must ask ourselves this: what is the purpose of such a myth within a theology of nihilism? Within the halls filled with doorstop epistles to apostasy what is the sense of all these documents creating a legalised instrument of all the evil which is outside of us? If we are indeed individuals, why does the lady with reddest lips protest even more? Entire war economies are mobilised for nothing more than ontological proofs that the devil has indeed been tied to a pillow. For there are no atheists in a sanctuary, after all.
'Pallas? He killed millions. Which brings me to Stalin - it's mind-boggling how many he killed, and it's by no means obvious...'

No offense to your father intended, but the same question applies: what if success is not really success? The Jordan Peterson economic model of success is not so dissimilar to the marxist, as in the end form success is determined by the succession of materialism by materialism. Such a philosophy of philistinic necessity ignores the naive question, what if the doctors really are gangbangers?
A seemingly foolish question to anyone who accepts capitalism, and yet here the doctors have been prescribing hard drugs to children for 30 years. Now we sit at the edge of economic collapse while a whole generation is shaking in alleys and cuck sheds - communion wafers absolving all pain, and yet the potency of the drug is enough to wipe out whole nations.
Materialism places strict limits on success: so long as you try to accumulate material you are a success. It grounds success within the very ethos of failure. How can anyone lose?

It's grain disease, may not manifest in a normal society.
Kind of sad especially when considering Peterson's pushing of globalist economics and the drugs which allow it to function.
