A friend of the family who i discuss politics with asked me to read Jordan Peterson's 13 rules for life, i asked him, in return, to watch/listen to some of Parenti's lectures. He accepted.

I really didn't think this through did i.. I have to read Jordan Peterson now😭

Cass Eris (cognitive psychologist, succdem/liberal) has a playlist going through the book. She brushes part of outright accepts some anti-communist horseshit, but those should be obvious to you when she does. Other than that, she shows that holding JPB to any reasonable academic standard is a futile endeavour, from sharing information from his patients doing little to protect their identity to making absurd propositions and comparisons all with little to no citations. She also makes it a point to point out all the Freudian and Jungian poppycock Beterson has incorporated into his work.

It's a lot of videos averaging 40 mins so you could limit yourself to 1-3 rules and probably still be far more in-depth than your friend. I don't suggest trying to go through the whole thing quickly, Dr. B's work is quite frequently a mindfuck to think about with any depth, far too much quackery to take at face value.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
