This changed more lives and sold more copies than Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Why are we still talking about Nietzsche instead of Peterson?

It's clearly evident that Peterson's societal impact greatly exceeds that of Nietzsche.

Probably because he fried brain with benzos and literally cries about everything now. The man is a train wreck with a BPD whore daughter, so it's very difficult to put any stake in what he says.

It's unfortunate because he was on a pretty good path when he started getting famous, but it's clear he is bought and paid for now.

I mean, Nietzsche was an incel, and did a lot of very beta cuck shit in his life that was totally at odds with his power fantasy writing. He was like an IRL Dostoevsky character. And then he went insane and spent his last years shitting himself. So, it's not like Peterson is different in that aspect.

Should people maybe take advice from those widely regarded as sages and saints by those around them? Sure. But those people all tend to say shit people don't want to hear like:
>Not every desire you have is good and freedom isn't just getting to do whatever it is you just so happen to want, but rather knowing what is truly best and learning to love it for that reason
>You must train yourself in the virtues
>Humility is crucial, don't bask in your grindset mindset or superiority because the more you advance the more you will realize this is a lie and an idol
>Honors, wealth, sex, status, etc. are not what is most choiceworthy
>Virtue is hard work and ascetic labors will be required
>You can flourish in the wilderness with nothing once you have attained virtue and theoria, which also makes you free to do the right thing, even onto martyrdom
>Dwell on your mortality and death often
>Knowledge, theoria, gnosis, these only come with long practice and humility, not some killer argument we can give you to own people with
Etc.

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

Kek the cons made me realize he actually does have a lot in common with Nietzsche. In that he makes many salient points, but he's a mentally broken wreckage of a man.

Doubt but who cares anyway.

Nietzsche is a philosopher. Peterson is a self help guru.

this is the most stupid thing to say ever. how could he be on a good path if that path led to the trainwreck he's in right now?

forks in the path? meaning that there were tons of good directions he could have gone through back then.
The Bezos really derailed him

/lit/ hates popular and great things because it is filled with envious hate filled little cockroaches. So it most hate Peterson. Because he is a great man who has helped people.
