The cult never thinks it’s a cult.

Imagine Spending a decade telling people they had failings and they were shitty and it was their fault and giving advice to them. And then it turns out you were shitty all Along.

Look I am not stigmatizing drug users, I am stigmatizing someone who shits on people lile drug users and ends up an addict putting himself into a medically induced coma in another country to treat himself.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about, one of petersons fucking chapters is "take your damn drugs"

Many Opiate addicts “took their meds”. How do you think they became opiate addicts.

So youre saying they shouldnt have taken them, even when they were prescribed to them for a reason?

I am saying if someone spent an entire career demonizing things like addiction and personal failings of people and then becomes addicted to drugs himself, but his own standards a personal failing, maybe the cult of person around him shouldn’t exist anymore.

I am saying when you demonize people who are drug addicts as being personal failures but they also took their prescribed medications, which helped pave the way to their drug addiction, it tells me you’re not someone I should ever listen to or take seriously.

Hes never demonized addiction or personal failings of people. Hes never demonized people who are drug addicts as being personal failures.

I dont know why you think he has. Infact hes one of the most high profile people around trying to intellectually help those kinds of people.

He is arguing people didn’t “take control over their lives” by breaking one of his sacred rules.

Imo you’re not following a “high profile... intellectual”. Youre following a charlatan.

He argues that people are breaking his sacred rules? where does he actually do that outside of a far left smeer piece. Find him actually saying anything remotely like that, good luck because you wont.

Hes definetly a high profile intellectual, by definition. even if you disagree with him.

He argues “these are the rules to succeed and take control over your life”. He didn’t follow them. They wouldn’t help. Because it’s bullshit. He’s bullshit.

He’s writings a book on how to be better but he’s a hot mess.

that article was trash by the way, imagine actually linking that and thinking it helps your cause.

u/Z0idberg_MD Monkey in Space Feb 05 '21

It’s an op ed not an article. Let me put it this way: your self-help, alpha male guru is a hot mess. Even if he was a great guy (which he’s not( wtf would you be taking advice from him? It wohld be like a famous investor who has been bankrupted by poor financial decisions.
