Bias against Jordan Peterson

Yeah I totally get what you're saying man. Lots of incompetence. Therapy has sort of become the secular recommendation "Pray to God". And then when therapy doesn't work you are said to have "not been doing the process properly". Which is really mostly a way of deflecting all criticism, and taking on toxic cultural attitudes of personal responsibility unconciously. Plus many therapists don't take evil/ stage-red seriously. I call them cotton-candy therapists. The only therapists I really like online are Patrick Teahan, and Dr Ramani. They actually take stage-red seriously. Richard Schwartz I like too for IFS therapy. But i found many therapists don't really commit to the IFS model in practice. Also Jordan Peterson too.

Good post. I used to be a big therapy advocate and thought about devoting my career to it. However, through my own experiences and reading about many who have suffered atrocities at hands of stage-red. I now think prevention and economics are much more important to focus on. And also that most therapists are too incompetent to help people with ptsd or cptsd. Such diagnoses often torment people, and then they also understandably struggle to meet the demands of society. Then society turns against them for that too. And a life of pain and revictimisation often occurs. I don't like speaking about this because I don't want to demoralise people. (And that said, there are many who also manage to live empowered, and great lives after such diagnoses). But if i speak candidly it is a cruel life for many who are victimised in this way. ----- Two more things I will also add about stage red. Firstly, these people are monsters who commit these atrocities. But we all have that monster inside of us. As do we have the angel inside of us. Perhaps that monster is very controlled because we have not given into bitterness, or because we have not had reason to consider the bitter path. Consequently, even if we are just doing okay in life then that is a reason to be proud of ourselves. Or to be proud of another. Because doing ok is 1000x better than giving into the evil spirit we are all capable of giving into. Secondly, it is also a very good reason to not let our tragedies corrupt us. Giving into stage-red is a step-by-step game. You are at first polite and good-natured. Then bad things happen, and you start being rude a little. Thinking people are rude to me, i will be rude to everyone. Screw it. Then bad things happen more, and you start to have revenge on people. "Screw being civilised, I will make them pay. And screw the bystanders, I will make them pay to". More, and your revenge gets more severe "No one cares about me. This world is wretched. All our wretched. I will punish them all". And gradually it escalates into darker and darker fantasies, and giving into the darkest temptations of the soul.

I agree with you re those uses you mention. By critiquing its philosophy, I am critiquing its alignment with truth.

I'm sick of religion being put on a pedestal like this. How does religion have any philosophical merit. It has merit as a social tool, and its psychological roots are understandable. But the major sects of the major religions have as much philosophical merit as Shrek 5: The Porno.
