I don't like the man, he seriously sucks, but he needs an official wellness check. He's clearly becoming increasingly mentally disabled and things like this keep happening in his daughter's custody.
That's not a spiritual attack, it's mold induced pneumonia in a man with brain damage. He could easily be less capable of resisting the mold. Why the fuck was a man with brain damage trying to clean a moldy room without assistance‽
Like, seriously for all I hate the man I really get no joy from this, I don't want him taken away as punishment or anything, I'm mostly concerned for him. I don't think that the Peterson of a decade ago would be putting the Peterson of today in these positions.
My empathy is with the mold in this conflict.
How would you define mold? How would you define conflict? How would you define is? That's what I thought.
(Kermit voice) What do you mean by mold? Mold in the metaphysical interpretation is a the creeping darkness of social isolation in the post modern environment that young men find themselves. Mold is the hidden predator that consumes even the dragon, the darkness that reflects the greater unknown that surrounds even the leviathan. If you take Moby Dick for instance, mold is the true antagonist, the great depths that surround and threaten both the protagonist, your physical self, and the whale, your metaphysical antithesis! It’s perplexing and I’m just on the verge of being able to understand it and perceive it, it’s right on the verge of my limitations to understand! tears up
Real good! I felt like I was listening to him being interviewed.
Or any other psychology prof on any campus.
Definitely not the ones I’ve talked to, and I’ve talked to many. Well, one of them kinda…fit the mold.
That is an almost perfect Peterson sentence. Except, remove the mold, it's too concrete:
Now you can shuffle the building blocks around however you wish!
Etc.
Hmm, that's the sort of post-modernist textual word game that Peterson claims to oppose. And yet it sure as shit sounds like him.
