    I mean he is a madman but spinning stories and making speeches, he’s a master there

      In the same way Trump is I guess.

      He can talk for 20 mins straight in response to a single question but does it ever get answered? Does anyone know what the fuck he’s on about by minute 2? I’d say no to both.

      To me, that makes him a shit speaker.

        I understand the things he says. Is there an example of something you heard him say in minute one or two that you didn’t understand? If so I can break it down for you.

        No trump is incomprehensible but this guy even if his point is bad can weave the message in questions and answer into stories that expand and then back to an earlier point. It’s not hard to see that he has had a lot of practice teaching

            I pity your blind hate. Many things in life that you hate have qualities that you can’t see. Maybe it’ll come with age if you are lucky

              It’s not blind.

              My first introduction to Peterson was on Sam Harris’ podcast. It was never clear what his position was on many things.

              Having heard plenty from him in the subsequent years, it wasn’t just a bad first impression.

              In contrast, when Harris conveys an idea, I’m seldom confused about what he thinks on a particular point even if we disagree.

              I’d hate to have Peterson as a teacher.

                Its not a point of contention. He is studied and hailed by professional orstors for this. You’re incredibly ignorant

                    It changes absolutely nothing, as you are fully aware, being adept at spinning stories and lectures does not imply perfect rhetoric or purpose. You may keep the thickness of your overweight ego to yourself from here on

                Here are some things I know Peterson thinks:

                • Humans have prey and predator brain parts
                • The predator brain parts are dopamine activated
                • Dopamine can only be released when one approaches a valuable goal

                To me, that is some of the most important information I have ever encountered, and it makes sense to me.

                Can you name something you’ve heard him talk about, that you don’t know what he thinks about it?

      Doubt he can be a master at anything with that brain damage from his benzo addiction.

      Rambling doesn’t make anyone a master.

        He has been teaching his whole life and it’s noticeable. I really dislike black hate and am mature enough to see good skills even in bad people. Most just lose so much perception from hate
