Jordan Peterson is one of the most famous public intellectuals in the world

Oh fuck off allready

You might want to read more than the very first sentence considering the rest (including the headline) says he's wrong about everything.

He's a famous public intellectual because that's what his fans, and he has way too many, consider him.

Mate, you’re an obvious impostor. A three word sentence from you? No chance.

Accusations of being an imposter, you see, are as ancient as the human capacity for language itself. They stem from a deep-seated psychological predisposition to categorize the world into the known and the unknown, the self and the other. But consider this: every individual, in their quest for competence and mastery, stands on the boundary between order and chaos, tradition and transformation. It is in this liminal space that one is most vulnerable to such accusations, for it is here that one is both most authentic and most susceptible to misunderstanding. To label someone an imposter is to ignore the complex, often painful process of growth and self-discovery. It is, in essence, to demand that they remain forever in the domain of the known, never daring to explore the unknown seas of potential that lie within us all. So, if being called an imposter means that I am venturing into the unknown in pursuit of higher truth and deeper understanding, then I accept that label with pride. After all, it is those who never face such accusations who must worry, for they have likely never dared to step beyond the familiar shores of their current selves.

Did you start crying in the middle of this? That's what the real Peter Jordanson would do.

I’m very sorry Dr. Peterson. I’m off to tidy my room now.

And no mention of lobsters. Such a letdown.

Do you and Lemmy's Margot Robbie ever get together?

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Margot Robbie would never stoop so low.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Lemmy's Margot Robbie might.

I find it galling that a psychologist is up in arms about crackpot theories coming from soft sciences that do societal harm.

Maybe get your own house in order before you tell everyone else how to run their affairs, eh?

I came to bask and sunbathe in the radiance of that title. It shall nourish me.

I am a big fan of the Cody Showdy and that's an especially fun one.
