Uh, what’s happening here? The post shows no content for me, and clicking on the title only redirects me back to the post itself. Yet other people in the comment section are talking as if there was some specific content here, other than just the title “ravages of socialism”.
Am I missing something here? Is there a malfunction, or did OP edit their post after the fact so that the actual content is just gone?

The ravages of socialism have resulted in a shortage of posts, forcing some lemmings to survive on titles alone
Same same. Was the source taken down?
Same.
I wonder if it was related to the hack
You’ve become the post!

Didn’t that guy lobotomise himself in Russia?
Tldr kinda
He got addicted to benzos and had himself put in a coma in russia to cold turkey it (against advice to ween off it from doctors in north america). Shit got fucky and he got brain damage from it.
Couple levels of lols there since he did papers on drug addiction in the past and his schtick is not looking for easy answers… but thats the one he took.

I also like the one about him absolutely destroying himself with the insane all-meat diet his daughter espoused. Not sure if that was before or after the benzos and whether there’s a causal link, though…
JP is one of the greatest examples of how you can be smart in one narrowly defined way, and an absolute dipshit in so many others. I never really bothered with the guy as the subject doesn’t interest me all that much, but I hear he was a leading voice at one point, and a fairly coherent one at that. And then based on his early success and subsequent fans, he let it get to his head and started thinking he was the smartest guy in every room.
Another example is Steve Jobs. Autistic rainman style levels of design, marketing and usage knowledge, but apparently couldn’t do simple shit like feed himself properly or maintain his personal hygiene.
This is a really interesting phenomenon. I feel like someone can be really knowledgeable and an expert in a certain domain but then they get used to people listening to and respecting them and their opinions. Then they start talking authoritively about stuff they really have no idea about expecting it to be the same or something. I don’t know, I haven’t though this through properly but it seems like there are a few recent examples where that could have happened.
TBF, scientific studies seem to support that ketosis can influence/mitigate neurological conditions. The ketogenic diet was originally developed as a method of managing epilepsy, for instance.
The “classic” ketogenic diet is a special high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that helps to control seizures in some people with epilepsy.
Personally, I’m giving it a try to assist with migraine management, per this study:
In total, 17 patients (73.9%) reported a reduction in the headache days, and 15 patients (65.2%) reported a reduction in headache days of at least 50% and were considered as responders.
The study itself had 23 patients iirc, so I’m sure more research needs to be done, but I’d like to avoid daily medications due to some of the undesirable side effects and I’m in good enough health to accept the risk for a few months.
Whoa really? Jfc peterson
Thank you very much for the info! ❤️
Well, that explains a lot of things.
It doesn’t sound like this is a guaranteed fact, but could be a rumor. Just for the sake of transparency.
The benzo addiction and russian coma were definitely things that happened. The brain damage is inferred with the whole “He had to re-learn how to walk and button his clothes”
Oh, yeah… But you have to admit, it kinda explains the behaviour in a concise and plausible fashion though, based on the facts we do know.
wow never heard this story thank you for sharing
I know it’s probably a joke, but fun fact Soviet Union was the first country to ban lobotomy in 1950
I asked what he did in Russia not what happened in the fucking shithole of a union 70 years ago.

I am sorry…
It wasn’t a country though.

Women didn’t have to resort to eating poop as a job in the Soviet Union.
Yes. And then he got MKUltra’d by FSB (he became a sleeper agent)
Take that woke moralists.

You want to change the world? Ok good, is your hair perfect? Well if you can’t even manage a few strands of your own hair why should anyone listen to what you have to say about anything?

Chicken and egg situation.
Did Russia make them into this, or did Russia seek them out because of who they already were?
Russia seeks these people out, useful idiots with plenty of kompromat
If they knew anything about very recent modern history, like post 1945, they would hate Russia. But here we are.
The lead poisoning made them forget they hated Russian, 10, 20, and 30 years ago
Heh. Can you tell my parents? I’m pretty sure both of them would suck this guy’s dick if he showed up at their house. I’ve tried various ways to explain that they’re in a cult, but yeah, they’re in way too deep.
Oh look… it’s Jordan “please-ignore-all-the-nazis-in-my-fanbase” Peterson.
Obviously, the Russian quack that supposedly broke his brain didn’t make a proper job of it.
Jordan “A WHOLE MONTH?” Peterson?
Jordan “What would we do without men” Peterson?
What a little bitch
I assume the first one is the reference to his absolute bullshit claim that he had a glass of apple juice and then literally did not sleep for a month. And people eat that shit up.
No that was him talking about pride month, exclaiming that a whole month is excessive for such a thing.
I guess he’s said a lot of stupid bullshit.
Well, he makes a living on it.
Just when I had forgotten that this dude ever existed…

Such a horrible water mark, I wish they wouldn’t do that.
But if they’re of age, does the Lolbertarian even care?
It’s an old reference sir but it checks out.
Well he is an old sir
Thanks for the snort laugh

Webp is great. Very space efficient, good quality, supports animation, etc.
Any software that doesn’t support it is dumb.
It also makes hosting way easier thanks to the reduced storage, and it loads faster.
Your reply made me do research again. Then I had to remember why I disliked it.
Oh, my old Photoshop CS2 version.
I feel like an old man. :(
Lol it’s funny when men cry and share their emotions. What a pussy. Men should never cry or show their feelings.
/s
It’s funny when - a man who spent his career reinforcing the bullshit societal biases that make it harder for men to share emotions - cries and shares his emotions.
Fixed that for you. Decidedly not sacasm.
I am sorry that he had to suffer such trauma, but hopefully it helps people realise how full of shit he was.
That’s what I’m saying man! It’s funny as long as we don’t like the person. I make fun of women I don’t like by calling them fat and ugly.
But when he cried and shared his emotions everyone teared into him because of it and just added it as another reason to make fun of him, so… was he really that wrong?
He’s being “made fun of” because he’s a misogynist, a sophist, and a hypocrite. The crying is incidental. Less obviously heinous people overwhelmingly receive sympathy in their vulnerability. If I’m getting your argument right you’re saying: “people are mean to men who cry so indeed men shouldn’t cry”. The takeaway is surely, “be less of a dickhead” rather than “cry less”.
Why is he a misogynist?
Also, I’m not saying men should cry less. I’m just saying that the people who tell men it’s ok to cry are usually the ones who get more bothered when it happens.
Do they? Do you have any evidence of that.
I’m going to be generous and assume you haven’t read his work, at least not critically. You should go listen to the episodes of the “behind the bastards” podcast about him or read more or less anything written about him:

Edit with non paywalled link
The nyt link I couldn’t read because it’s paywalled.
The other link I do agree that he’s wrong about women’s oppression over time and I get that that’s why you call him a misogynist. To me, it seems he’s saying that women’s oppression was due to the constraints of the time period and not the active need of men to want to put women down. While I think he’s wrong I don’t think he hates women or thinks they’re inferior because of it. But the rest of the article is laughable. The reason people reject feminism and wokeness is not because of the need to maintain men in the pedestal of priviledge. It’s because it is hypocritical (tends to cherry pick issues and even subsets of issues) and because they hyperfocus on equality of outcome and not equality of opportunity.
You’re throwing out unevidenced, and frankly not very relevant, generalizations again.
Can you honestly not see that a man why literally describes women as inherently chaotic, and men as inherently ordered, who advocates openly for “forced monogamy”, is hateful. If so I guess we have nothing more to say to each other. Just because he dresses it up in flowery language doesn’t make it less repulsive.
