Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

[Rev. Rye]

You know, earlier today, I went to the library to check out his book. I found a copy and the checkout machine refused to allow me to do it. After three times where it refused to allow me to do it, I set it aside.

On another note, I found this video with the Bible Reloaded guys reading the section of his book talking about friendship.





They come to a conclusion that kind of unnerves me, namely that Peterson himself may be on the autism spectrum, due to his evidently poor understanding of social interactions (and the fact that he evIdently counted all the dents on the inside and outside of a former friend’s car). I think it may need more research to confirm, but If he is, well, the forms of autism are legion, from People who can make contributions to physics comparable to Einstein to the severely mentally challenged kids Autism Speaks likes to unleash on the world to push their eugenical agenda, and everything in between, and this jackass being part of it probably shouldn’t surprise me. That said, I at least know my limitations. I’m painfully aware that I’m kind of crap at making friends (and a combination of my ASD and my really shitty childhood is probably to blame), but I know better than to try and teach a subject that I’m well aware I’d be out of my element talking about.

And, of course, when we get to the conservative broilerplate about how a lot of the time, people in trouble bring it upon themselves, the possibility that people who help others might be virtue signaling, and, of course, the trademark Jordan Peterson backtrack where he recognizes he’s said something outrageous, and then tries to soften the argument he just made so he can claim his haters are just taking him out of context and have some legitimate ground to stand on.
