Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion

RE: Peterson's 12 Rules for Life v2.0-- actual book discussion
Quote:Chaos, by contrast, is where—or when—something unexpected happens. Chaos emerges, in trivial form, when you tell a joke at a party with people you think you know and a silent and embarrassing chill falls over the gathering. Chaos is what emerges more catastrophically when you suddenly find yourself without employment, or are betrayed by a lover. As the antithesis of symbolically masculine order, it’s presented imaginatively as feminine. It’s the new and unpredictable suddenly emerging in the midst of the commonplace familiar. It’s Creation and Destruction, the source of new things and the destination of the dead (as nature, as opposed to culture, is simultaneously birth and demise).

Is it only me or is this Deepak Chopra-grade BS?

Chaos is not "unexpected. Thats BS equivocation. Later he tells us that chaos = unpredictable? Now, which is it? This guy is so full of it (and full or deepities).
Arbitrarily assigning *chaos* to being feminine? Why? Because its BS. I am not impressed, not at all.


He is nothing but Deepak Chopra V2.0.
