3 fallacies, an assumption, and a veil'd ideology sit before the pearly gates. St. Peter begins to read your sins. https://t.co/EuyuzeBPiC
5 years later you are still crying "but I believe in god!!!"Trying to convince yourself with the same forced axiom you lied to yourself with all those years ago.https://t.co/lZoLFrcz54
"Good god." - JBPA man who claims to be holy can't see how he is instigating a riot in slow motion.https://t.co/3cvcapCFQY

bedeviled. Infected with an idea. A snake oil salesman who's convinced himself he knows the truth and the light, drinking his own toxic fiction. Deluded. Sad.https://t.co/RHacoJWPON
Does a horse wearing blinders think that it is leading the man in the cart? No. But here's to putting the cart before the horse.Neither these men, nor the horse they road in on stop to think about how the road they are following came to be.
Ah, but if Jordan is horse, and claims to be the leader of men... You rebuke: "Don't look a gift-horse in the mouth" & "Who are you to question god's prophet?"You assume these are gifts of a wise man.The Magi were sent by Herod to find god's son...to find him and kill him.
My hobby is to look into the past thru a lens of metaphor.My own mother named me after "the people's victor". I have been down these roads of brainwashing before. I learned to swim. Others have not had that luxury. Drowning in snake oil.
Look at all these young men being radicalized.How horrid, how awful, he says while he cries.I believe he speaks his as he musedhe sees these men before him; so many confused.Something must be done! some thing must be done.A spark of meaning in a room primed to explode.
If you honestly believe that god is a metaphor of meaning, a mooring sorely needed among men losing touch, JBP, what is the metaphor of god's wrath?You've been up on the mountain of Sinai for too long, and the people have begun worshiping a false idol.
its worse, so much worse.Numbers, 13 - You have instigated spies who have taken it upon themselves to work for their people.You are only fanning a flame by claiming god.Biblical false news. https://t.co/jSfs3NsqsL
I wake up and wonder if Peterson realizes the mistake."If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. " 2 Peter 2:20
JBP's "god" is a metaphor of the hivemind. Studying an individual ant would not tell you how the hive operates. Telling the ant how to act will result in a chaotic and unpredictable results at the hive level.Deluded by Jungian personality and the collective unconscious.
"provide a specific example of the manner in which great mythological or archetypal themes inform and permeate narrative."Jugnian mythology inform and permeate his narratives. These are the blinders the horse wears while he thinks he is leading. You can lead a horse to water...

Investigating personality and group formation in pancrustacea as a metaphor of the human condition, referencing ants and their antennae as the way that the hive operates: https://t.co/KXq9VrByvB
Jordan B Peterson is charting the same waters I swim within. The metaphysics of cult formation and the ways groups form around metaphors of waste. I just use more poetic language.https://t.co/lxNort9aOl
The cruel irony of axioms of godhood tied to a farce. A misguided ideologic framing against totalitarianism... but being presented under the same memetic frame by which very totalitarianism manifested itself under for young boys.https://t.co/5MdzlV3Ttn

Is 'the enemy' is referring to him as a nazi? His feed reeks of this:"If I am to build unity among the people, I must first find a new front, a common enemy so that everyone knows: We must be united, because this enemy is the enemy of us all."https://t.co/kCd8D8Acj6

My charitable nature assumes that Peterson knows what he's doing. But what if he's too focused on his research and work - and outreach to young men he feels a kinship with - to notice he's inspiring a mob?https://t.co/rxTtQuXQCx

Does he not see how his own posture is in essence defining an enemy - defining the negative space of identity politics: https://t.co/ih0X0G4Grf
"Which side are you on?"https://t.co/rWuzTDy2qy
I'm not part of an identity politic, you are:"I objected to ill-thought through legislative moves to compel speech. That's all."https://t.co/L9Z5SYV3lDHave you even read your own feed?

Stale ideas copied from the past. I call it recapitulating. This is how I write. How I think. So I see it all too clearly. I am more like him than I realize. I share same interests, same way of thinking. I see he is not the monster his fans have made him.https://t.co/OQta6Obwu7
I empathize with JBP because I see what he's missing. I see the shape of symbolism he's become. The shape of his egregore. JBP the person, and JBP legend. the collective tulpa that other's built. He exists as a myrid of strawmen in minds of his adherents and adversaries alike.
Heck, he even has an entire set of coursework on the topic of marionettes. But I don't think he's thought to apply this to himself. He looks at the past with such acuity, but not the present.https://t.co/SR9LSqqSgn
An entire set of coursework taken out of context, used to present and project meaning: https://t.co/lh5wSxIw5f
"There are six things the Lord hates— no, seven things he detests:haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family."Proverbs 6:16-19
For a psychologist i'm surprised he doesn't see. Is he out of practice? Its obvious from an outsider perspective this is happening."None of this psychology is to suggest that people who engage in motivated reasoning are stupid. No, they are just human."https://t.co/BATokwW25j
I'm surprised he doesn't put this lens on himself. If I'm honest about it, I suspect he already does. Maybe he realizes that he's just the tip of this wave. My paranoia makes me think he's playing at a larger game and positioning himself to be the top. https://t.co/Lq2QvlQEBE
And I'm not using "wave" absentmindedly. This is my own veil'd metaphor. A reference to the teacher who started a cult by accident. A cult of personality. https://t.co/3rUa2pqQY0
If you're going to be turned into a girardian scapegoat by society at large - a symbolic strawman the media presents for society to burn - all the better to act the part and hope that your true mission is still fulfilled. https://t.co/WmKJIhWE2C
I'm not the only one with this kind of meta-game suspicion.https://t.co/UZesBrxdOb
The trouble I run into is that there is an entirely different diaspora of people following him without that awareness - they are introduced to him in these cherry-picked bits and pieces that affirm their own leanings. They eat the symbolism presented to them by their friends.
People I care about are getting sucked into the culture war narrative and ignoring the larger picture he's trying to cement. I worry the larger game over 'intellectual dark web' and all that posturing is becoming an engine of belief unto itself, of which we are all marionettes.

Those who reach internet celebrity inevitably make a contract with Moloch.Or are driven insane.Psyché splintering between minds; A grotesque mirror.Internalized selves endlessly fighting symbolic abstractions. Smile for the camera; your soul stolen by the collective's god.
Groups hold up idols on a pedestal and generate narrative myths in your quest to deify a perfect rival they inevitably fail to live up to your expectations - they become scapegoats. Violence ensues.https://t.co/E1F64l00Uq
Man researches the history of his culture's myths and systems behind the institutions that give rise to goodness around him. Finds himself in a station that is pleasing. Decides that all goodness must be due to the system. Fearing change, deems it sacred. https://t.co/7gVfb3Tnij
When did I read Jung? I must have been 8 or 9 since I can't place it.https://t.co/DD6ClTZQze
I remember arguing on this in gradeschool w/ my social studies teacher. I was 14 & they thought they knew more about psych trauma. I watched Schindler's list when I was three & had read Jung; I wanted to figure people out. I blame school curriculum.https://t.co/iE8kgjX9m4
I know there was some esoteric (Tarot, Joseph Campbell) stuff when I was 4/5 that I was overhearing, but I wouldn't have been reading Jung at that time. Hmm.https://t.co/0JbCBaZSxc
Carl Sandburg's quote on about shadows is meaningless unless you realized that he consorted with D.H. Lawrence thru the Laughing Horse publication ala Walter Willard Johnson.Some deep influences of Jung & Freud likely thru an interesting social network?https://t.co/ifg2IaLv4l
I need to read Jung again.https://t.co/4fhx7Mr6NR
@holoentropic I'm not as familiar with Jung's ideas. Phallocentric concepts appear be deeply seeded in that space of ideas, but its like a negative space in art -> *how* and *why* it's missing is the important part? https://t.co/nNdwQb9Wtk https://t.co/eo0vZQIkhA

"You can think of the entire Internet as a place where ideas embodied in cyberspace are having a war, and it’s not much different than the war of Gods in heaven, which has been taking place since there’s been human beings." -- JBP https://t.co/MzF2lWT496https://t.co/hzeDZW3q6R

Btw, @KevinSimler, I just re-read one of your Jaynes summary posts (https://t.co/g7Yvq7tCp7; Neurons Gone Wild is an all-time fav) and I found myself thinking that you'd get a ton out of checking out Iain McGilchrist's work. Mind-blowing like Jaynes but more neurological data.🧠

It's almost like diagnostic labels are social constructs that reflect a shifting reality."In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) removed the diagnosis of “homosexuality” from the second edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)." https://t.co/NYEI53eDiq
I'm being told that after 1973, gay people stopped existing. They all vanished over night when the DSM was edited.Trans people didn't exist until they published v.3 in 1980, and "gender identity disorder" wasn't real until 2013 with the DSM-V.
I'm sure this doesn't reflect the underlying lack of awareness of F64.9 in our collective medical system. https://t.co/PHUUGeQ7u7Absolutely doesn't reflect how medical gatekeeping is policed by institutional control over what is deemed a mental health condition.

I was technically diagnosed with "autism" because while the "Asperger's" diagnostic code is technically still there, it's being phased out as a relic.But hey, at least they stopped calling it "autistic psychopathy".https://t.co/HDJ1fIm0mu
I regret to inform Asperger's isn't real. You actually mean to say Asperger's monster. Or rather Eugen Bleuler's "childhood schizophrenia", or Leo Kanner's "Autistic disturbances of affective contact" but viewed thru lens of medical billing and eugenics https://t.co/nZwyLsIA4w
New relatively unknown medical conditions are discovered all the time. You should know this!The whole Akathisia thing was introduced as new billable item not long before the gender identity disorder was turned into one. https://t.co/3CgFePmUB8https://t.co/GFrS1sgLdE
If you've been following me here since 2015, you may have noticed a lot of my early explorations were dopamine and opioid system. I was trying to figure out why Citalopram would trigger Akathisia, + what was unique in my biology.https://t.co/cF5ON3BW4phttps://t.co/vouwgZDYzp https://t.co/6oIynJgquL
