I tried but couldn't get into his podcast because I can't stand him. He's a bad writer and holds too many hypocritical views. Also if many of his more recent views belonged to a writer who was instead, say, a Christian, he/she would be shunned as an extremist/far-right racist etc. The fact that he's an atheist and was once purported to be some type of a champion of rationality gives him some leeway. I still can't believe this guy was compared to Hitchens at some point! A travesty!

I like his approach to discussing complicated subjects but he's a bit of a knob who's very difficult to listen to. From the very little I've seen that's only gotten worse as he's embraced the "Intellectual Dark Web" or whatever. Couldn't manage more than a few podcasts a year, even though I find the subjects interesting and think he creates a good space for most guests to speak in depth about them.
Jesus zombie Christ.
What a fecking loser.
Also laughing at “Greenwald is a drama queen” but Jordan “I once had a sip of cider and fell into existential dread for a month” Peterson and Ben “I made up a joke about slavery to get offended and stormed off a BBC interview because I’m a pussy bitch who can’t handle a normal conservative asking me questions” Shapiro aren’t
Genuinely can't tell if that's real or satire. Not a clue.
I think it’s legit
That book cover is way too terrible to be legit... Surely?
I found it on Amazon. Seems to be a compilation of things they’ve said in the media rather than a proper book. No idea what their level of involvement is and maybe it’s just a fantastically engineered piss take.
Whichever, it’s a significant leap forward in Peterson’s literary output as he emerges from the shadow of his “pull yourself up by your boot straps” era.

the intellectual dark web
"Joe Rogan" and "intellectual" is three words combined that don't make sense.
Joe Rogan in general doesn't make sense. (I like some of the episodes though)
Spent an episode last night trying to convince his guest that 3rd highest average height in 1940 whatever was a thing.
So much conviction in his voice as well. Ali was having none of it
To be clear, he's a good interviewer and gets some really interesting people on his podcast. I enjoy a number of them (for example his Bernie interview was great, as were his podcasts with Firas Zahabi, David Sinclair, James Hetfield, Jocko Willink etc). But he's not an intellectual of any sort.
The easiest way to trigger Joe is with veganism.
So true - noticed him and Patrik Baboumian were having trading barbs the other day.
You know the right is going through a severe intellectual poverty when their go-to thinkers are people like Peterson.
Someone on Twitter explained Dave's logic in this case quite succinctly:
"to recap: he used to eat at the restaurant when it was activist against gay people. now that it's supposedly not activist against gay people, he no longer eats there."
Is Dave Rubin homophobic?

it's easy, literally anyone can do it
Ok Dave
I can honestly say I've never seen anyone make a fried chicken sandwich.

The ironing is delicious in that tweet.
That was an excellent watch. Who is she? Very entertaining! I'll have to watch it a couple more times to take all the ideas in - a lot covered

It is very good, very entertaining. I think she's just as guilty of straw-men as she accuses Petersen of being though!
Being entertaining definitely helps. She doesn't claim to be 100% right or unbiased which helps too.

This is the same guy who used to bitch about people boycotting Chick fil A for being homophobic. He also wanted people to boycott Ben and Jerry’s. He is an idiotLike that jackass knows how to make a fried chicken sandwich
just saw a video of Peterson supposively 'destroying' the lady in the audience arguing that personal responsibility won't solve things like climate change which involves the need for mass social, collective change. he literally didn't answer her point at all, maintaining personal responsibility is all you need; yet it was claimed he won the argument. huh? doesn't help that he comes across as a massive twat. why do so many people love this guy? do people just kinda get off on his sophisticated/quasi intellectual tough guy schtick?
Because they dislike people like the lady who asked the question and he gives their silly opinions an image of intellectualism that isn't really there if you look behind the sophisticated words. They don't care about that part though.
What a dumb fecking idiot Jordan Peterson is. Can't walk or talk after his brain got fried because of the alternative medicine treatment he sought out in Russia over the medical advice and treatment of doctors in Canada for his benzo addiction.
I'm surprised that his daughter's expert diet advice wasn't enough.
