Giblet_Enjoyer 12/09/17 2:22:14 AM #19:	First off, I was just comparing the two within the context of their ideas about political division in America. I don't care to detail everything I find wrong with what Peterson believes, especially when I know ahead of time that none of it would satisfy you. I'll touch on a few things but we're already in these weeds more than I care to be nicklebro posted... Junger isn't perfect either, and doesnt understand the human mind and consciousness in general nearly as well as Peterson does. Idk about that. Junger has under his belt actual experiences with observing human psychological phenomena that most people, including JP, never get to see. That's the main thing that makes his perspective useful. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt as you were probably just trying to add some flare to an argument you could tell was much weaker than you made it out to be. Hey now, no need to get tilted, I just think it's funny that he has a sophisticated "meta-truth" interpretation of stories that came from goat herders who couldn't read. I mean he literally said that religious truths are "hyper-true" which is a postmodernist thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality I just don't see how "overrated" is a term you could apply to Peterson. Everything he says is extremely well thought out and he has an understanding of reality that is unmatched. I mean, you just said he has deeper knowledge of life, the universe and everything than anyone else on earth. The dude's not even a scientist (depending on how loose your definition of a scientist is). Do you still not get how I could think he's overrated even though you just made my case for me? You're not even unusual, either. I've seen other members of his fanbase who seem to think that his philosophy is the solution to all of society's ills. He does one thing exceptionally well though, and that's speaking. Almost no one without the last name of "Hitchens" does it better. Anyway, I just prefer Junger's more pragmatic and unifying (for lack of a better word) approach over JP's pathological villainizing --- He which make friends with scorpion, soon come to find out what a scorpion does - they bite people with its tail --ancient Chinese proverb <cite>Giblet_Enjoyer posted [p:891869234] in Aren't you...
