Peterson actually is pretty good in his area of study. Had really good papers on substance abuse and personality risk factors. Unfortunately, he suffers from the same shit Elon does…thinking you’re good at everything because you’re good at one thing.
Politics changes before you even realize it. Jordan Peterson was the guy for a couple years. An inescapable figure. Now he’s dying and nobody cares.

Iirc he’s one of the top 50 most cited clinical psychologists of all time.

Also ironically he suffers from substance abuse. Which you’d think he of all people could avoid.

One of my research mentors had him as her PhD advisor and she can back that up. Really smart guy when it came to behavioral psych, but way too arrogant

Bro went down a dark path. I never was into his shit, but he had something going for him with the self-help shit for NEETs. He just had to get sucked into the conservative brain rot perspectives on trans people and it was all downhill from there

I mean there was *some* value to his self help, but I’d argue it was just very basic advice anyone could provide that was seasoned with a bunch of pseudo science.

Not that the advice wasn’t valuable, but it certainly wasnt unique or something only he could provide. And he was always kinda crazy about the personality stuff. Like personifying personality traits as mystical creatures and shit lmao

Basic shit does help people who have zero motivation. I don’t know if I’m having Mandela effect or not, but I swear he was saying some of the same shit that Scott Galloway has been saying about young men being angry and what happens when they don’t have good male role models to look up to.

But yeah, I understand your meaning. I think he just did it in a way that was a little bit more modern and aimed at younger men as opposed to the airport business class books like Atomic Habits.

I’m not saying the basic shit wasn’t valuable it does help. It’s just you don’t have to go to Jordan for that advice specifically yk. He probably was idk Scott Galloway very well.

I mean he never did anything transformative, he just knew his shit was all. As #2 stated, he’s cited a shit load.
