Beyond Order 5: Does Jordan Peterson VIOLATE His Own Rule? “Do NOT Do What You HATE!”
Patreon page:
Newest Mindgasms Book Review on Rule 5 of the internet famous clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson’s newest book called Beyond Order. The rule is “Do not do what you hate.” The sentiment of this rule is one that I actually like, as opposed to the many others that I think are dumb. Not worrying about “offending” people is what he really means by it in the chapter. It’s a good idea to be kind to people, but avoid obsessing with worry about saying words that offend someone. Peterson has taken this too far lately, by deliberately being an asshole to people on Twitter and in his Youtube videos for no reason. It’s also pretty selfish and antithetical to his Christian ideology to make a rule out of not doing what you hate, especially since Peterson himself talks a lot about the importance of sometimes doing things that you hate, like workiing hard, or doing your taxes. That’s why I think that the actual rule is dumb. It’s a good idea to sometimes do what you hate. We also don’t always have a choice. People need to work so we can make money to eat, etc, and Peterson praises work all the time.
Mindgasms Book Review that is about Rule 4 in the internet famous clincal psychologist, Jordan Peterson’s newest book called Beyond Order. This rule is “Notice that opportunity lurks where responsiblity has been abdicated.” I actually like this rule for the most part, even though Peterson gets way too obsessed with responsiblity to the point that his psychological expertise does not seem to allow him to realize that being a workaholic is a huge problem. However, I do some idea sex and show that this nugget of obvious wisdom has been promoted by the ancient Greek Stoic philosopher, Epictetus in his maxim “Create your own merit.” This is from a collection of his writing and opinions called The Art of Living. I’m not as much of a fan of Stoicism as I used to be, but both Jordan Peterson’s rule and Epictetus’ maximum are good life advice to an extent.
