The comprehensive penis cleaning guide, Peterson's books, pop psychology, and fad diet books.

>>24550454 (OP)
The gulag archipelago and the bible. Let me guess, you NEED more?

>>24550481
Forgot to include 1 dostoyevsky and nietzsche book

>higher education for cheap
this is such a stupid sales pitch. who goes to college because of their love of wisdom? people want to get a diploma so they can get cushy jobs. this doesn't give you that so what difference does that make if it's 0.1% of the price or free?

>>24550551
Well his delusional pitch includes getting companies to accept ScamU credits as real. Outside of some lunatic right wing joint it’s not happening.
> who goes to college because of their love of wisdom?
This is also a solved problem, Great Courses, Modern Scholar, and countless actual uni courses are available to fill the curiosity market. Many of them are easily available for free at that. It’s not like providing lectures to the wider public is a novel idea either.

>>24550454 (OP)
I forgot he was trying to do this. Isnt it just a old fashion liberal education?

>>24550454 (OP)

The funniest part about that is that all of his lectures are basically to the effect of
>buckle up bucko, life is tough and you need to be tougher to go through it
and then he... puts himself through a monthlong (brain damaging) coma just to avoid benzo withdrawal symptoms

>>24550606
The actual ironic part is one of the chapters for 12 rules for life is explicitly about taking meds as they're prescribed to you. Obviously it didn't turn out to well for Peterson

>>24550454 (OP)
>college costs $400,000/year

>>24550662

Jordan Peterson took a doctor prescribed medication. There is no evidence he was abusing it or taking it in a higher dosage than directed by his physician. He experienced a severe side effect from said medication culminating in his seeking treatment in 2018. This side effect and symptoms related to it were not listed on the medication until 2019--after Peterson had gone public about his symptoms.

In a nutshell, Jordan Peterson sustained a neurological injury from his medication. This affected his immune system and his body began reacting to random foods he normally had no problem consuming. For example, people who experience the same side effect will have histamine responses to food and drink they were not allergic to in the past. Basically, their body has seemingly random immunological responses that vary in severity and degree. On top of this there are also adverse to the regulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. As far as the later is concerned psychological symptoms arise (e.g. a sense of dread/terror, lack of impulse control, sleep regulation, appetite regulation, etc).

When Peterson stopped taking his medication due to the above he experienced severe withdrawal symptoms. This is not due to an "addiction" but rather a physical dependency that commonly arises from wide range of medications. Akathisia is one of the worst of such symptoms as it creates an insatiable sense of restlessness. This is not simple anxiety although anxiety may arise due to akathisia which is itself a motor disorder. The reason this symptom is labelled "subjective" is because it is qualitative and patient reported. The pain one has during a migraine or a cluster headache is also "subjective"--this doesn't mean the pain doesn't exist.

Peterson sought treatment in Canada but was given a poor diagnosis and thereby sought treatment at a specialized facility that developed an experimental treatment regimen specific to the symptoms he was experiencing. He was put into a comatose state so as to negate extreme withdrawal symptoms and to avoid further neurological damage. The treatment was a success and in the years since he has continued with him life and found success in multiple endeavors.

People who want to attack Peterson try to label him as a drug addict. In so doing, they wish to bring in the connotations associated with addiction as a way to defame him. In realty, Peterson had a physical dependency on medication, as many people do, AND had a server side effect, unknown at the time, that compounded the dangers of simply tapering off the drug. No loaded language is needed to describe what actually happened; an appeal to the facts at hand alongside information relating to such experiences themselves suffice.

Here's a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of medication withdrawal explaining exactly what Peterson went through:

Is this mast cell activation? It sounds like it.

>>24550926
idk what you're talking about but sure

>>24550912
He took drugs to deal with life which is antithetical to his brand. Pound sand bucko

>>24550551
This, the intelligent thing to do is get your BS from the cheapest and easiest degreemill you can find and then go to a top 25 grad school in your field.

>>24550929
I don't believe so. If you're interested Google: cytokines benzodiazepines.

He took a doctor prescribed medication for which he fit the profile. Pretending he experienced a downward spiral into drug addiction while conveniently ignoring the fact he sustained a neurological injury, in favor of using loaded terms like "withdrawal", is dishonest and pathetic.

>>24550973
He took anxiety drugs to deal with anxiety
