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

That may be something you need to do to feel comfortable with your personal investment in him....but I don't have one, don't need to do it, and won't swallow it anyway.  The simple act of connecting assault and identity politics is to drink the koolaid...of identity politics.  Peterson bats for the young white male suffering anxiety.  That's his brand.

Oh, I'm pretty comfortable with it, and I'll say it straight out-- he's speaking my language.  I'd say if anything, I'm probably a little more extreme in my views than he is, or at least than he is willing to put forward publicly.

When I have to pretend that Caitlyn Jenner is a pretty pretty princess, and people seriously suggest that I should use "ze" and "zir," then I'm brought to the realization-- there's no fucking end to the insanity; there's no amount of compromise that will bring a light at the end of the tunnel, no amount of restitution or sympathy that will make it fine for me just to wake up in the morning and be what I am.

But in the end, I can choose whether to be complicit in all that.  None of these special snowflakes actually HAS anything on me.  I have a wife who puts up with me, children who are clearly turning out mostly okay, and I run my own business.  I have actual abilities upon which I can rely, and enough personal discipline to gradually improve my position in life over time.

And therein lies the rub.  Real power isn't found in legislation, or in witty memes in online forums.  It's found in creating things, real things in the real world, through ambition and an aggressive pursuit of goals.  The noisy college kids and angry feminists can squawk all they want, but in the end, they're going to have to shower and shave, sit in an office much like mine, and explain how they intend to contribute something more to the word than organic, gluten-free farts.

It's possible this was a coincidence, and not him putting "women are cunts" in plain sight on the cover. I may have given him too much credit. I've began to think like him. To catch a monster, you have to become a monster. So I just squeezed the toothpaste right from the middle.

Anyhow, here's another video of him saying some crazy shit.




Um. . . how could a person be any more right than this? Big Grin

He's not saying "bitches be crazy."  He's saying that if another man is crazy, there's always that implicit remedy-- "Let's take this outside."  If a woman really digs in her heels and decides she wants to make trouble for you, what can you do, no matter how unreasonable she is? Nothing. There's literally no restraint on a woman no matter how out of line she gets-- and plenty of women know and game this fact.
