Lol.
Jordan was on an anti-depressant that can cause SERIOUS withdrawals. He's known his wife since they were teenagers right? Imagine loving someone for that long and being helpless as they're wasting away. That's terrible.
Good on him. Having the knowledge to go into rehab to properly detox from these anti-depressants instead of "toughing it out" is by far the smartest thing to do.

What is strange is Rob acted like I insulted one side and thus he had to come even the odds and insult the other, that is strange because I didn't even mention the left or right in that post, I just said some people were celebrating. Rob seemed to intuitively realize they would be leftists and thus he had to say something, intriguing. This is a similar phenomenon to Trump Compliment Syndrome, where people feel they can't compliment Trump about anything without also inserting an insult. Example: Oh Trump saved a kid from drowning? Good, but it sucks he put kids in cages.
Anyways, yeah I'm not even sure why he told people he was going into rehab. They could have easily explained his not being around as much with "he is taking some time to deal with the emotional fallout of his wife's illness".
Wait, I think it's probably because he wanted to try to help other people going through similar things feel a bit better about themselves, maybe help them understand they aren't alone. What an alt right monster.

You're playing games again, because you acted like a hypocrite while virtue signaling and you didn't like having that pointed out.
Next time do yourself a favor. Read out loud what you just typed and reflect on it for 10 seconds before hitting send.

Didn't act like a hypocrite...you just couldn't stand me noting something about this situation and had to involve Hillary. You just couldn't leave it lol, you *had* to bring her into it.
Which hey that is your choice, but I don't wanna see you cry if others do the same in your threads or threads from your pals in the future(you have indeed cried about this before).

My example of your hypocrisy and virtue signaling just happened to be about Clinton. You're trying to use that as a means to distract and deflect from yourself, it's very obvious.
The problem is there was no hypocrisy and you couldn't help drag Hillary into this, but keep trying 👆
@Putinbot I think you have a caricature of what Peterson actually thinks. You seem to portray him as almost this "every man for himself" type figure and someone who believes people never need help.
He's stated before that some people struggle under burdens too difficult for them to bear and that the tragedy of life can deal people serious damage. And one of his twelve rules is to treat yourself as someone you're responsible for helping. According to that chapter if you need medication take your damn medication. He's said if you need antidepressants don't be too prideful to accept the necessary help. I'd assume the same here applies to his rehab. The responsible thing for him to do was to go into rehab. He may have needed help but he was willing to admit that much rather than letting his life spiral further out of control. He's a clinical psychologist, his entire profession is built around people needing help and support with the struggles of their lives.
He also doesn't believe it should be "every man for himself," it's why one of his rules is for people to make friends with people who genuinely support them in life. It's why he tells people not just to be responsible for their own sake, but so they can be a person other people can rely upon. He tells people that they play an active role in how good or bad the world is for everyone and that they should take responsibility for that. He points out repeatedly that we should be reciprocal in our relationships with other people. He has stated repeatedly that despite believing the left can go too far, that they have a valuable and necessary role in politics in aiding and giving a voice to the people who wind up at the bottom of society, that's part of the reason why he supports Canada's healthcare system and why he believes a party advocating for the working class is a good thing to have.
I mean no disrespect Putinbot, but it seems like your criticism of Peterson is you unknowingly attacking a caricature of him, which I don't necessarily blame you for, because the exposure you have of him likely comes mostly through either left wing outlets saying what they don't like about him, or right-wingers you argue with highlighting very specific points about him. Under those circumstances you're likely to see left-wing media outlets trying to criticize him and right-wingers on the internet praising him only honing in on a specific part of him, which paints the wrong picture if you aren't presented the full context and nuance of what he actually believes.
For example, it is correct to say that he argues a degree of hierarchy in society and uneven wealth distribution in society is justifiable. You'll hear the left-wing critics hone in on that as a point of critique and right-wingers hone in on that with praise and as an argument against those on the left. It is true that he makes that point, but if you only hear that point, and aren't exposed by either right-wingers you debate with or left-wingers who criticize him to his accompanying statements that hierarchies tend towards a degree of corruption and need to be held in check and criticized, or that hierarchies should be built on competence and the ability to actually help other people rather than dominance tyranny and pure selfishness, or that society needs to act to properly care for the people that become dispossessed in such societies, you're going to have a very skewed view of what he actually believes overall. You're going to assume he has a simplistic view based on the fact that those who disagree with him and those who argue against you hone in on the same points without giving the points that actually offer nuance as much attention.

I like when Jordan Peterson snorts morphine because hey, even the greatest Angel in Lucifer had a wild side. Jordan Peterson just needs to find his light again so he can tell me to clean my room so I can find lost pills and hate black people.
DMB that's a lot to read mate but I will reply given time.
