> I think Jordan Peterson is doing a decent job at this though
Is he? Nuking a prolific academic career to write terrible self help books, that you yourself ignore and giving yourself brain damage while you endlessly rant on twitter about mostly made up terminally online nonsense seems like the complete opposite of "doing a decent job" to me...
- infamouscow 3y agoIt turns out directly helping people matters more than writing hifalutin papers about helping people.
- Arkhaine_kupo 3y agoI have 0 idea what this is trying to say. Is his academic past bad because it is highfaluting? Or is the outcome justify the means and helping people is ok even if you also cause a lot of problems along the way? Also, giving advice through books is indirectly helping them, he is not making your bed, he is telling you to do it. Directly is going the way of literally to just mean emphasis
- plewd 3y agoIn retrospect I probably shouldn't have made such a claim, since I really don't know much about Jordan Peterson and his views. Most of what I've seen is him motivating and trying to help young/lost men, which seems like an admirable cause.
