what a retarded looking maggot

Its Jungian metaphors, he basically meshes esoterism with pragmatism

Basically, beyond the most biological stuff like "YOUR BRAIN DOESN'T WORK WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT/SLEEP/GO INTO THE SUN/PLAY", you need to sit down and make a written effort to make a conscious project out of your life instead of just winging it. He says writing your thoughts down helps you sort them out.

Schedule, make lists, write down what you wanrt, what your life will be 1, 5 and 10 years from now if you keep indulging in your vices and what your life will be 1, 5 and 10 years from now if you instead were to do all that you actually want and indulge in furthering the virtues you would like to further.

If you lads like postmodernist, in technologies of the self, Foucault says that the "Know Thyself" meme spurs out of a Greek School of thought which made its students write down everything they thought and did every night and then review their progress and shortcomings every month or so, so they could have an objective way of seeing how they mental state had evolve, and basically, literally knowing themselves. Somehow it got transformed into this idea that you one day get an illuminating sense out of introspection achieved by sitting down thinking about nothing for years.

I respect Peterson but I tend to disagree with his framework. I like his self-authoring program and he seems to have generally solid life advices, but his whole Jungian dealio seems like an article of faith. I guess there's nothing wrong with that as AN interpretive model is fine, but it seems a bit rash to judge everything in those terms. That could be a bit unfair, but those are my impressions of him

>Unwarranted elitism runs rampant
Elitism makes boards great. Sure, if it goes too far it stifles discussion, but a lack of elitism leads to first to aggressive plebism and then rampant shitposting as on boards like Veeky Forums and Veeky Forums.
