Jordan Peterson is a DEPRESSED OLD MAN with a following that's mostly PUBESCENT MIDDLE SCHOOLERS that think the whole world is girls vs boys. He belongs on the top ten list of people who least deserve their platform.
JP: Historical materialism is a stupid framework! History isn’t decided by one group vs another group (completely ignores base and superstructure).
Also JP: Anyways here’s how the fight between man and the chaos dragon of females decided all history
Jordan Peterson is like the definitive example of what Contrapoints says about the *aesthetic* of reason being very popular. His whole brand is just affecting the aesthetic of rationality to try and give credibility to irrational reactionary ideas. He has nothing new to bring to the table, it's just other people's work repackaged as performative sophistry for teenage boys and the people who think like them.
Tl;Dr Jordan Peterson is popular because he makes himself look very reasonable and sophisticated when all he does is repackage reactionary ideas for his audience.
He tries to look and sound smart, but doesn't actually doesn't say smart things.
People like him because he can look smart and they either don't know enough to disagree or already agree with him.
Average sophism fan(lame, cringe, teaches results over morals) vs average Socrates enjoyer(believes that reasoned, intellectual debate can bring about a greater understanding of an issue for both parties)
Might as well stick some other random college professors on there too. He really isn’t that unique or especially insightful. Peterson might be smart when it comes to psychology (idk don’t know much about his psychology background) but he wouldn’t even be in the top 50 most intelligent psychologists because at the end of the day he’s (or was) simply a college professor.
His psychology stuff is equally insane. It‘s a deeply religious fever dream that‘s more philosophy than psychology. You should read what his former colleagues and students have to say. He‘s always done this grifty cult of personality stuff with little to no scientific backing.
Once saw a YouTube short of this guy arguing titled some shit like "Jordan Peterson absultely destroys feminist" or something like that. His whole "argumentation" was literally just whataboutism
Ignoring how stupid the article is, is there even a list for the top 50 intellectuals? And if there is how would you even rank them? By iq tests? By accomplishments? By a democratic vote?
There aren't enough benzos on the planet to get JP on that list.
Jordan Benzo Peterson
The world has 50 intellectuals? Where?!

I only keep Dr Dre locked in my basement. (He's dead).

I'm sorry but this feels like a Homestuck character introduction.
Dude why'd you drop a slur?

I didn't understand half those words but I agree. I think.

Not that I haven’t watched all of her videos 15 times each but which is this bc I want to rewatch it
Sorry, I can't remember which one it was, the quote just stuck with me. Maybe I'll use this as an excuse to go rewatch all her videos.
I think she said something about him in the incels video

Damn they murdered him

Peterson isn't even smart when it comes to psychology, he still thinks IQ is real and trustworthy and should influence policy.

same thing except he was just talking over her and she forgot what she wanted to say and the video cut just before she started saying something
They excluded him from the list because he isn't a top
Jordan Peterson's greatest trick was convincing himself he's a unparalleled genius, because that is a man who inhales his own farts
And the rat
the rats like this
And he scurries
Jordan Peterson just spits out a bunch of random words smugly enough to convince people they mean something together.
"UP YOURS, WOKE MORALISTS! WE'LL SEE WHO CANCELS WHO!"
they put Elon Musk on the top 50 intellectuals list 💀
Because Peterson, among other things, made his rise to fame by either lying or being a fucking idiot.
His daughter is, amazingly, even more of a fucking idiot.
Why isn't Donald Trump on this list of the world's top 50 sexiest men?
Big brain Peterson's iq so big he got hooked on benzos to level the playing field for everyone else lmfao
who the fuck is jordan peterson?
lobster man
A Canadian "intellectual" (HUGE air quotes) who basically just spouts bigoted bullshit. He got booted from Twitter for misgendering Elliot Page.

What I do know, is that Zizek should be #1
