Jordan Peterson's completely humiliating and failed attempt to debate 30 random atheists is a great reminder that he's really not worth paying attention to. Posited nothing of interest or meaning and simply played semantics games every time he was outmatched, which was often.
and don't forget he's the most educated and cultured mind his side has
Very unpopular opinion here, but faith-based claims relying on man-made primitive minded conspiracy theories just might not be the best guides to the galaxies or common sense according to human history. The unexamined life is not worth living according to Socrates.

Those who don't believe in the Lord will believe once they meet him face to face
He is a giant fraud. His strategy is to interrupted and derail. It’s frustrating and empty.
He's a typical narcissist.
I would certainly... relocate them
“God killing your grandpa with cancer builds character!” Yeah If you want them to become a Villain
Define “often”.
The U of T really owes America a huge apology for this guy.
One of my friends goes to U of T, and all their professors there apparently hated Jordan Peterson lmao.
One of the atheists came up with a really good question about free will and Peterson just said, “Have it your way!” and smirked like that was a relevant answer to anything.
Thank you! NONE of these extremists are worth listening to, or wasting any of your valuable time on this earth! They've discovered that being extreme and ridiculous brings them the attention they crave and that's all they want. They've become skilled at cultivating it. But worth your time? HARD NO.
Look up "Always Wrong" and there's Peterson's picture.
This is the only thing he’s ever written or said that I thought had value.
The man is a moron with a large moronic audience.
Jordan Peterson should debate John Fetterman just so we can calibrate how far gone each one is these days.
Word 🙌🏽
Who?
Peterson is an elitist who mixes basic psychology with malicious manipulation and propaganda. An educated conman.
he's a fucking moron
I used to think he was smart during my right wing phase😂🤦♂️
he's a vacuous poser. the right was just happy that they had someone finally who used academic philosophy jargon defending them, but it was all mumbo jumbo
screenshot is from his first book, a footnote doing a shockingly poor job of explaining heideggerian ontological difference.
embarrassing nonsense
it hurts my brain every time i read it. it's worse than sartre's misinterpretation bc sartre went somewhere good with it, like i don't see what you can do with "heidegger endeavored to make being super special so now i capitalize this word in his honor"
Poor Jordan. He will never understand why philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence, and not only because he never reads the right people.
i mean with all the shit he said about derrida's subjectivism and then to turn around and praise heideggerian "Being" for being a transformative function of subjective will is ironic. an ounce of self-reflection would go a long way to make him not look like an idiot
it also might save him from his tragic fashion choices
I think it's the most I've cringed in recent times. He's pathetic.
Let the boost in both notoriety and popularity that he will nonetheless receive be a lesson to those willing to give cranks like him more regard than they deserve.
Peterson is what stupid people think intelect looks like in the same way twelve year olds think Tate is what a man is or that Trump is anything other than a rapist. Who raises these people?
Peterson is a fraud. A fake intellectual. Just wish Christopher Hitchens hadn’t died so young. Hitch taking apart Peterson in live debate would have been something to behold.
This is one to the reasons I did not watch it. JP is a complete waste of oxygen. As a Canadian, I must say sorry for this thing inflicting its nonsense on the world. BTW America, you can keep it, Canada does not want it back.
Oh, we can’t possibly keep him. Maybe Russia or Belarus could.
He's already on the Russian payroll so they can keep him
Remember that time he went there for his benzo addiction?
Exactly. And came back brainwashed
Nice try. Lol
Jordan Peterson's whole thing is "Say ignorant and fundamentally wrong things seriously with a few shelves of books behind him" just listening to his monologues is painful if you're even tangentially paying attention to what he's *actually saying*
painfully boring
Just. 10 seconds in and I'm already just hitting mute on this stupid asshole x.com/thebadstats/...
He got you to watch it.
Obfuscation is Jordan Peterson's main tactic.
I’m watching that now. It’s infuriating. He says nothing and whenever pinned down he just says some dumb shit like “what do you mean by believe”
He has never been worth listening to. 🙄 I wish he would leave Canada permanently.
I tried to watch it - truly I did. But he is absolutely insufferable. About 7 minutes of him acting like a pedantic arsehole and evading questions with semantic games was all I could take.
Peterson was a second rate academic at a mid tier Canadian university before he became a darling of the alt-right. He was never that smart to begin with.
I used to listen to his lectures, he likes the sound of his own voice and I think he's compulsive.
Before I knew who he really was, I picked up a book of his. I couldn't make it past the first few chapters. The ignorance seeping through every paragraph was agonizing.
Peterson has got to be the most deflective, obfuscatory, and intellectually dishonest person I have ever seen argue a point, if that's what you can call what he does. He'll attack the nature of reality before he'll answer a direct question.
Russell Brand gives Peterson a run for his money in the pseudo intellectual gobshite stakes.
I also can't take him seriously because he sounds too much like Shorsey to me.
Thanks that guy gets zero attention from me.
He’s about as coherent at Trump these days. Which is to say not very.
you're too kind
“he's really not worth paying attention to” This statement is perfect. Thank you.
He's a god-freak who tries to use word-salads to debate normal people ...
He came onto my radar for his climate science denial. Can't stand him.
Thanks for watching it so that I don’t have to! ❤️
Let me guess… he didn’t answer a single question and whined incessantly about “what does that WORD mean?” That’s all he can do.
More importantly, he only spreads hate and sows division.
The idiots clever guy.........
Jordy has never had a critically thinking cell in his entire emotional, anecdotal, verbose, narcissistic body. Intellectual connoisseurship at its most vain, dandy, and hollow.
He always seems on the verge of tears if someone just went a little harder I think we can get him to break.
Us Canadians are embarrassed by him!
Sorry I missed that, whoever he is.
Those atheists were props. Believers will say "it takes 20 atheists to take on Jordan!". Stupid fucking optics.
That's 💯 percent correct. Why Jordan has continually been platformed to date is kind of embarrassing. Now, let's get someone to debate you over your white glove zionism abetting Israel's war crimes.
I thought Peterson was an atheist?
He's sort of mealy-mouthed about it, talking about how important "Christian values" are, and attending Catholic church apparently? but not really being a believer. But he can't admit that in so many words because his income depends on the right wing griftosphere.
He can't commit himself to believing in god but still feels that christian "morals" (vibes really) are needed for society. Basically he's the perfect reactionary, someone who only believes in the surface value of Christianity
Jordan Peterson is the center square on the Hollywood squares of wet garbage.
Ya think ?
That guy has gotten away with substituting big words and ambiguity for meaningful commentary for his entire life. Why stop now?
Beautiful summary! 1000% correct
Having interacted with him during his fight with his regulatory College, you are correct. He may have a very large vocabulary but it becomes obvious after listening to him that he uses a Gish Gallop routine and smothers listeners with many, many big words, and I doubt he knows what all of them mean!
It's a con job. He says appalling things with big words so that he can turn around and accuse people who call him out for misunderstanding his meaning. His comments on "enforced monogamy" preventing maniacs like Minassian from murdering strangers - and subsequent tantrum - are a perfect example.
His followers use the same tactics. “You took his words out of context! You need to watch these 128 videos first to fully understand what he is saying.” Awfulness multiplied by 128 is still awful.
Ugh yes I have interacted with such people. "If you disagree you just don't understand, and if you want to understand you must watch 10 hours of talking heads on YouTube."
Exactly! They’re the same ppl who endlessly demand that you “prove” your point by bringing them scientific studies, as if they’re a king in a fairy tale. They’ll reject them & ask for more. It’s a stalling tactic. They can’t win an honest debate, so they delay by assigning their opponent homework.
Yeah Peterson shifted the burden of proof in this debate. He positively claimed that every single person on earth who doesn't worship something is agitated and confused but then demanded the other guy prove it isn't true.
Is there a link for this hypocrisy?
I could only make it 27 min into the video. What an insufferable blow hard. How does he have any audience whatsoever??
It’s a mystery
insufferable yes!
Saw sam Harris once trying to make peterson say what he really believed aby god/christianity and he wouldn’t That was the moment I knew he was a fraud.
Sam's fallen from grace a bit himself, but he's way ahead of Peterson.
whatever you think of sam, it was very telling that over the course over many joint appearances on tour together, he couldn’t extract a straight forward set of beliefs from Jordan.
That’s all he knows. Well that and the weeping.
Who is this guy? 🤣
Same with Charlie Kirk or any of those far right influencers.
Kirk is very good at putting up a wall of noise.
Every 5 words is a new lie to hinder you from dealing with the first
Imagine being that guy's wife and asking him "what do you feel like for dinner?" His 37 minute answer would begin with "it depends on what you mean by 'for'".
Just for fun I have to tell you that my son has a theory that when people pick a random number it is more often than you would believe - 37. Keep an eye on it and you will start to notice it. It’s in movies and on TV shows- the house address was 37 on two show I just watched. It’s crazy.
"Can one truly define Want on a level so small as to what sustenance one eats? In the grand scheme of the world what I want is Never ending happiness for the planet but this is neither feasible, nor edible. And one can never stop considering the Jungian implication of the so called Fish fingers"
Ok, fried liver it is. 😀
😂👌
I truly wish one of them walked up to the table sat down and placed a bottle of apple cider vinegar on it. Smiled at him, got up and walked away.
Kind of his thing. Watch any debate of his. Word salad, obfuscation, and diversion.
*very Jordan Peterson voice* but what IS a word salad? Is it a salad of words? Does it have a dressing?? *weeps*
perfect👍
Ty 🙏🏻
salad with rotten dressing
The ultimate in “30 Atheists vs 1 Christian” was when Jordan seemed to forget he was the Christian. 😂
He was always a major PASS for me for ALL the reasons you stated. You summarized it perfectly.
And yet he'll re-edit it into little clips to make it seem like he "owned the libs," which is the only parts his gullible supporters will pay any attention to. 🤷♂️
Peterson is an atheist himself but for some reason he likes to argue in favor of religion.
Peterson is educated singularity stupid. Dr. Ray knows cubic truth.
Time cube!
That's right snotbrain!
Rapidly became irrelevant.
He was completely stomped by Matt Dillahunty on atheism years ago. I feel like nobody noticed because Dillahunty isn't as big of a name, but Jordan Peterson has always been weak in the religious department.
He's such a silly unserious man. Anyone who believes in his seven layer dip of bullshit needs to reevaluate things.
👏
He's a very strange man who thinks he knows everything.
Just looking at Jordon Peterson makes me feel uncomfortable.
I only saw the preview as of now, and he destroyed HIMSELF so spectacularly.
I've always said that the more you BELIEVE, the less you KNOW.
Mental midget
I disagree I found it really funny.
I am curious who actually watches these things. Like I see those insane Jubilee things and I watched the buttegieg one. The people were so confident yet uninformed. And who wants to watch people yell at Charlie kirk? I'm all set. I'll watch succession for the 1000th time.
I mean, I might enjoy watching Charlie Kirk getting humiliated a bit. For a few minutes anyways.
The clips are good sometimes but I can't take anything beyond that.
Wait, when did this happen?
So sick of his kind. No time for scumbags.
I don't know what it is but something has happened to him. He used to be quite brilliant. Articulate. Liberal. But he jumped the shark in his debate with Richard dawkins, in which he would not say, could not say, whether Jesus was literally born of a virgin. Religion has destroyed his mind
I saw a big change after the failed drug rehab in Russia. Weird as shit.
Yes I heard about that. That may be the reason. There's just been such a dramatic change in the way he was
I don't advise anyone to get their belief system off the intellectual dark web.
And don't wear makeup to work, cause you whores are just big teases.
"Jordan Peterson...failed." Fixed it for you. ;)
I have one of his books that was decent. He is a very intelligent psychologist, but he branches out past his expertise way too much.
He’s intelligent if you find Jung convincing, which you shouldn’t
Seriously. It was painful to watch
He's such a BORE
Where can we find this fool's spectacle?
They re-titled it youtu.be/Pwk5MPE_6zE?...
This was amazing.
Thank god I don’t know who this person is and my life seems better for it.
Charlatans.
I thought Jordan Peterson was an atheist. What is he debating?
His life choices
One kid said he was nothing to his face. It was pretty great.
Yes and David, u engaged Lex Fridman in good faith. So what does that tell us about u?
Ouch.... I did not see that one. That is bad.
It's bad, indeed. And sad.
I will never understand that. For someone who basically lives online and should have extensive knowledge of every grifter or clown (like David) masquerading behind pseudo-profound bullshit, these aren't small mistakes.
Thank u. Someone who finally gets it. For years, I've been screaming in2 the void about David's suspicious fanboying Krystal Ball ... Perhaps we're finally waking up 2 the reality that the online left is NOT operating in good faith?
The online left is a large and vast universe, peopled with those who extend from the center across to the rabid anarchists who want no rules, period. Not everyone claiming to be left of center is, nor are they blind to the requirements of advertising dollars.
1/ Totally agree—the online left is a tangled ecosystem, & not everyone waving a red flag is doing it 4 liberation. Some are in it 4 clout, clicks, or chaos. That’s exactly what The Purple Pain of Populism is about: separating principled dissent from performative disinfo, …
2/ so we can fight 4 democracy without falling 4 vibes-based betrayal. Appreciate yr insight.
The lowest common denominator - $$$
Now I don't have to watch.
I don’t even know who Jordan Peterson is. After reading these comments about him I’m glad I don’t.
He is a notorious Canadian climate science denier and right wing nut job who used to be some kind of mental health guy. He lost his licence.
I read his book 12 Simple Rules For Life, and the rules by themselves are fine. It was the specifics that he used to support them with that made me irate. Personally, I think that Jordan Peterson is a narcissistic asshole.
He’s a complete phoney. A plastic philosopher. A smug, self-satisfied, self-proclaimed intellectual with zero credibility.
To no one's surprise.
And the crowd goes mild.
Oh, well done!
More like Jordan ran away from 30 atheists like a scared schoolchild, evading any and all substance.
Did he cry a lot for no discernible reason?
Thank you for watching this so I did not have to.
The only noticeable thing about it was that he ordinarily refuses to even enter conversations where the other person will destroy him. He's an empty suit who only appeals to those who mistake pathological equivocation for intelligence. Danny making him break down was pretty good, though.
He sucked so bad he should be kicked out of his own church.
People who pay attention to Jordan Peterson still like to eat occasional booger, like they did as kids.. "fart jokes" are their idea of "High Comedy". They huffed way to many volatile vapors growing up..they're why they locked up airplane glue, and spray paint. Jordan P "is" a fart joke.
don't denigrate fart machines tho! 😂
Peterson is a blowhard fool playing at being a philosopher and the number of people falling for it is an indictment of Homo sapiens as a species.
I didn’t know he was still alive.
Yeah he was in a coma for a while and then had to quietly walk back his insane "carnivore diet" lol
The coma was induced so he could kick benzos, and something went wrong and he was under for some time. I'm not sure he ever full recovered his faculties, and he never was the intellectual he pretended to be.
😱
Seriously? Omg
I watched it, very painful! There were some very bright people who brought up some challenging questions. I had heard of Peterson, not really familiar with him - not really impressed. 🤷🏻♀️
Sam has him down pretty good so Tuesdays show should be hilarious.
Religion is the longest-running con in human history. IF God exists, he's an insecure (as evidenced by the 1st 4 commandments), vindictive (as evidenced by his murdering children) monster that doesn't give a rat's ass about human suffering. [==*==] youtu.be/0si8-vzD6C0?...
Not surprised. We don’t want him back, jus’ saying.
Stop! You're going to make him cry again.
I stopped listening to him during the pandemic. He's not mentally well. He would benefit spending time with Dr. Paul Conti. His brain chemistry is whacked. He's not well
Peterson doesn't believe in anything and does anything he can to dodge being pinned to any actual position on any issue, I've always noticed
Jordan Peterson's entire political career is him creating word salads that sound sophisticated and praying that his followers are too dumb to notice that nothing he says has any actual meaning.
they do tend to be
He's really quite nothing.
In his defense, Peterson is a useful tool for discerning who I can completely ignore. The moment someone says, "Jordan Peterson has some good points", I know I can safely ignore anything else they may have to say.
Why are people still engaging with that moron? What a waste of time.
