Do you think you can write better than him? If so, where is your best seller?
I think /lit/ will glaze Peterson 40 years from now.

>>24482719 (OP)
Will /lit/ exist 40 years from now? Will people find this post in the archives then and say "How quaint!"?

>>24482719 (OP)
We have been shitting on him since forever. There's only like 2 retards who like him and you can tell who they are because they always post the same dogshit

>>24482719 (OP)
>best seller therefore good writing

>>24482719 (OP)
Can you not be a perverted faggot?

>>24482719 (OP)
It's fun to compare his writing to his own guide on writing

I already glazed your mom instead.

>>24482730
You are shitting on him because he is alive and popular. You were rejected from society, society accepts him, so you hate him by default.
When he's long dead and mostly forgotten, the outcast freaks of 2090 will glaze him because they think it makes them appear sophisticated. Just like how this board glazes Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and other long-dead pseuds.

>>24482728
This site isn't going anywhere as long as social rejects exist.

>>24482732
If it's so easy to write a best seller with bad writing, where is your best seller?

>>24482732
Reached more people in book form than you'll ever reach in tweet form.

SO /LIT/ - AND THAT'S THE BLOODY THING ABOUT /LIT/. IT'S LIKE - WHAT IS IT, MAN? YOU CAN CALL IT AN OPEN MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS, AND CERTAINLY SOME RESEARCHERS HAVE DONE THAT, BUT IT'S NOT AT ALL CLEAR WHAT THE - WHAT THE - CURRENCY IS THAT UNDERLIES THE SUBSTRUCTURE OF INCENTIVISATION THAT PRODUCES THE EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN SUPPLY AND DEMAND WITHIN THAT MARKET. BECAUSE LET'S SAY ON REDDIT YOU HAVE THE UPVOTE AND DOWNVOTE MECHANISM WHICH ESTABLISHES A SOCIAL VALUE TO THE PERCEIVED TRUTH. BUT ON /LIT/ - IT'S CHAOS, MAN. THE DUALITY THAT MORE OR LESS APPROXIMATES THE TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD BECOMES PSYCHICALLY TRANSFORMED INTO SOMETHING LIKE THE BASED-CRINGE DICHOTOMY. AND IT'S LIKE - THE GUY WHO CAN GET THE MOST (You)S WINS! THAT'S A RECIPE FOR - HELL - FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR!

Still triggering trannies who don't like the truth, libtards who propagandize, racists he won't associate with, and pseuds who can't tell the difference between a media personality and real life

>>24482761
The fags that claim he talks in circles are just filtered. History will prove me right. He's not wrong, you just don't get it.

The only thing I will concede is that, politically, he is a shabbo's goy.

>>24482757
Too much projection to be taken seriously. Any actual arguments?

>>24482771
He's a self help guru and here you are thinking he's a philosopher or something. I truly hope you're baiting.

>>24482783
>He's a self help guru
F I L T E R E D

Whatever credibility Peterson once had has been squandered by his constant disgraceful behaviour. Crying all the time, selling everything he can think of including lobster rugs for thousands, coming totally unprepared for the Zizek debate, shilling diet plans, putting his whore daughter in the spotlight who ends up fucking Andrew Tate, shilling hard for Israel, getting addicted to drugs, and now just having a general attitude of self-importance compared to his past self when he at least had some humour and gentleness (compare the Cathy Newman interview to the Jubilee one)

>>24482794
cope

>>24482719 (OP)
>do you think you can write better than him
No

lol, I wonder what /lit/ in 2065 would be like.

>>24482757
I like Peterson. I've attended one of his speaking engagements.

Your post exhibits poor logic. I merely agreed that being a bestseller does not imply good writing. I will now further assert that quality and sales numbers are not the same thing, as evidenced by having two different terms with different definitions.

Using a book's best seller status as a proxy for quality is flawed judgement.

An example of a low quality best seller is enough to refute best selling status implies quality writing, not necessarily one with the added condition that I write it.

Now, for your first sentence. I could possibly write better than him, though I remember his basic mechanics as solid and no blatantly detracting stye, so the judgement of quality would likely depend more on the reader's subjective valuation of the content. Peterson's "make your bed" content is trite for an average person over thirty. I haven't read his more substantial works, so I can't comment on them.

Now for the degenerate part, "Can you sell a bestseller like Peterson?" Probably not. The odds for anyone of going "internet viral" are low. The odds of getting sustaining publicity from a political row with a government are low. The odds of getting his access without an academic credential and position are low. Notice something: none of these factors are related to writing quality.

>>24482798
Philosophers and intellectuals are well known for being Navy SEAL chads that never cry or have mental breakdowns. Imagine a philosopher having a mental breakdown over something silly, like a horse being beaten! Haha I could never imagine that.

This is why I get all my philosophy from JOCKO WILLINK. I drink a lot of JOCKO FUEL when I read Willinkian philosophy. I get all my thoughts from the most stable meathead JOCKO JOCK CHADS I can find. JOCKO WILLINK will be remembered as the most influential intellectual of this generation.

>>24482871
Same as right now. It's barely changed since its inception. There will always be outcast freaks with fringe hobbies, and those interested in books will always come here.

>>24482890
It's fine to cry but he does it all the time performatively and for no reason. You didnt answer all the other points eihter

>>24482719 (OP)
That depends on what you mean by 'writing', and what are the fundamental presuppositions that qualify your penmanship as 'better'
>>24482739
That depends on what you mean by perverted faggot, but under common parlance I would find it impossible to clean my penis without explicit formal rulesetting, so I suppose not.

>>24482890
/lit/ has changed a lot since its inception. Same with every other board. Just look on warosu. And this not a place for “outcast freaks with weird hobbies”. I’m not sure what it is but I know it’s not that.

>>24482719 (OP)
>Do you think you can write better than him?
I know I can.
>If so, where is your best seller?
I don't have anything to say.

>>24482890
>Willinkian philosophy
lol

>>24482908
Lit has been exactly the same the past 5 years.

>>24482719 (OP)
>If so, where is your best seller?
Maps of Meaning, the culmination of Peterson's life's work as a psychologist and academic, only sold a few dozen copies before he pivoted to being a Culture War slop merchant.
12 Rules of Life is basic "self-help" prattle that you can get from any other book in an airport bookstore.

He's a drug addict that had a spastic crashout over the existence of troons and got handed a bunch of money by oil-funded jews that have a vested interest in keeping retards distracted.

>>24483263

OK newfag.

Every board got infected with boomers and tourists after that Q pedophile ruined /pol/ in 2017.

i shouldnt have to look up the definition of a word you use

>>24483371
Are you an Anglo? How do you not know "quaint", i've read it countless times as an ESL.

>>24483378
nice grammar chief

>>24482728
/lit/ will be an Indian board by then so he might have a point

>>24483399
Could you kindly explain what is wrong with it, sir? I had the best English grades in all of Kerala.

>>24483413
Punctuation goes inside the quotes. There's also a comma splice, although that isn't strictly incorrect, and you didn't capitolize I.

>>24483450
>Punctuation goes inside the quotes
WTF are you burgers retarded?

>>24483462
It's because we burgers don't have separate punctuation rules for fiction and nonfiction. It makes sense that you, being a jeet, were taught primarily using British nonfiction texts.

>>24482840
No u.

>>24483450
You missed that Mandala, eh?

>>24482888
I'll add that I thought Peterson was a bit unprepared and unprofessional on stage, somewhat disrespecting the audience. He was thinking aloud to himself and obviously winging it instead of having a prepared talk, which just focused on the juvenile "make your bed" stuff, leaving my group intellectually unsatisfied and quite disappointed. I get there's a lot of barely capable people that need to hear the remedial basics, but they're not paying to attend intellectual lectures.

>>24483450
>Punctuation goes inside the quotes.
I never do that because it looks stupid, unless the punctuation was part of the quote.

>>24483891
>I nevr folow grammer roolz becuz it looks dum

>>24483891
Comma splice.

>>24482719 (OP)
I can write better than him and I can also slay him in a one-on-one arena, which truly and fully invalidates him in my mind.

>>24483900
>>24483903
Stop being a retard.

>>24483399

Kill yourself, hypocrite.

I can't. His prose is so profound.
