Why did people fall for Peterson when he's an obvious fraud?

t. room not cleaned

I have a feeling your not eating your breakfasts too bucko.

Only someone who skips out on a 700 calorie meal early in the morning would write this shit.

absolutly delusional

What’s their to fraud about? He’s literally just telling people to clean their rooms and keep their word. Seems like simple advice to me.

>> No.14721636

He brought recognition to the harm done to society by the academic left. Too bad he couldn’t articulate it well nor do anything about it.

>> No.14721641

He just made Nietzsche and Jung more accessible. What's fraudulent about it?

He seemed somewhat interesting as a social phenomenon back in 2016, unlocking the spiritual imaginations of thousands of atheists and introducing them to the great wealth of Western culture, but he ultimately turned out to be little than a slightly erudite self-help guru. Sad.

G-d works in mysterious ways. Those ways can sometimes be people like Peterson. He basically filled a vacuum by telling people they had to take responsibility for their lives and restating the age of truth that ones life is not for the enjoyment of the one living it but for the purpose of serving others and moving the species forward.
That it could be someone like peterson shows how far gone we are. That he would be the one to remind people of this when he evidently was barely holding himself together.
Tl;dr: because the rest of the civilisation is worse and there was barely anyone saying we should try and make ourselves bettee before we can make the rest of society better.

He offers weak and idiosyncratic interpretations of the Bible, ancient mythology, Disney movies, and so on, and his erudition doesn't extend far beyond that. Just watch his conversations with Camille Paglia or Slavoj Zizek or even William Lane Craig and you'll see that his knowledge doesn't even come close to theirs on intellectual and cultural topics.

Wasn't the first, won't be the last.

Tons of people are lost and seek for a stronk daddy to tell them what to do, and tons of frauds tried to be the daddy. It'd be more interesting to analyse what had to go wrong than the specific rat-catcher of the year.
