Tom Towers has previously talked about Jordan Peterson here.
Now that Tom has actually read not one but two books by Jordan Peterson, he has a few more things to say which are hopefully more interesting than the original piece. Peterson is an enigmatic figure, and his books do not disappoint: indeed, they reveal that to survive public scrutiny he has had to severely self-censor himself.
Seriously. He’s not on the BBC talking about how Western history is the only form of history in which the historians discuss (or believe they discuss) objective events; not that this makes non-Western historiography any less literally true as they still focus on the psychological significance of events, instead, apparently.
(To be fair, the psychological elements of “Eastern” (or rather, non-Abrahamic) theology and philosophy are much more complex than “Western” (or rather, Catholic and Norse) theology and philosophy—and it goes without saying that the reformation was something of a religious lobotomy for Christians (leaving them almost as dumb as the Vikings and Saxons).
Or better still, that it was dreaming of his grandmother’s paint-brush-like pubic hair that revealed to him how the feminine was symbolic of chaos. (Pe[e]pe[e] go into vejajay; though, luckily, he killed a bear in the dream instead of fucking his granny—but according to Freudian psychoanalysis, it’s fair to say that the axe was his stalk, and the bear his gramma’s cabbage!)
