Wait. He wants us to believe that he is intelligent? I’ve known toddlers that have an easier time getting words out.
I thought his whole shtick was portraying himself a bumbling idiot to bring out the hyperemotional crazies who get worked up about people not being just so? It is always fun watching the hyperemotional crazies.
I believe the lobster bollocks is actually Rule # 1. ‘Stand up straight’ or some shit (which lobsters also do not do because, well, they are lobsters).
I have read the book yes, and the lobster stuff is in chapter 1 indeed.
I don’t think that chapter was particularly enlightening, as far as I remember it was mainly about how evolutionary selection results in hierarchies in al species (hence the lobsters), and standing up straight gets you higher in the hierarchy because of something something confidence.
The evolution stuff is not wrong, and the stand up straight is… Eh… weird psychology stuff? However it didn’t mention women or gays as you said.
And how do you understand “hierarchies” in the context of human sociology?
Your message is notable in that it’s the first time I have realised that his readers may not even be reading this drivel at the level at which it was written, which is already laughably stupid.
It sounds like you are the one who believes the only hierarchies that exist are ones of race, gender, or sexual orientation. When I’ve heard Peterson talk on the topic he talks about hierarchies of competence, which has nothing to do with that other stuff.
I cannot understand how you folks who love to defend this cretin can overlook this utter malarkey and focus on ‘make your bed’.
If he was as bad as you say you wouldn’t need to make stuff up or willfully misinterpret him in order to discredit him.
People are complicated. Just because you disagree with someone on one topic doesn’t mean everything they’ve ever said is bad.
Look at some of his old tweets. He’s racist and not as intelligent as he wants you to believe. It’s not complicated in this case.

Absolutely he wants to and a lot of people buy it.
For sure. A lot may even be an understatement for how many hyperemotional crazies have bought into his schtick.
It sounds like you have something in mind, why don’t you link me to it instead of sending me on a wild goose chase.
You can look in this thread, mate. There are screenshots a few comments up or down…
How did you get that out of the book?

You got to expand a bit on your question, I don’t know what you want to hear.
Regarding hierarchy in the animal kingdom, it’s this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_hierarchy
