If incels are going to look up to older men like Jordan Peterson for life advice, these other men may as well step-in and offer their perspectives. They actually have successful relationships with women and are not drug addicts like Peterson who blames society for his personal shortcomings.
JP went into details for why he got physically addicted to Benzos. He is the one who noticed he was deeply addicted to them and sought help on his own.
He didn't have a drug habit: they were prescribed.
He had a severe autoimmune reaction to food which caused severe anxiety. He was naturally prescribed a benzo. He reacted poorly to the benzo. The stress of his wife becoming terminally ill and the negative reaction to the benzo caused him to become restless (called a paradoxical reaction). When he tried stop benzo, it made it much worse and he experienced severe anxiety and psychosis and suicidal thoughts. By this point, he knew something was terribly wrong. He sought treatment in American hospitals which didn't work. His family and some medical professionals helped him seek out a proper treatment to his particular problem.
They were able to seek a proper treatment in Russia where the correct treatment was available and they induced a coma for 8 days so they could taper off the benzos so I could become un-addicted without losing his mind or committing suicide. It worked.
And know auth-leftists like you like ti disparage JP because some idiots on the right have taken up JP as their figurehead but you've got JP wrong, still. And you try character assassination like this to make yourself feel better. Kind of like your obsession with going after religious folks for their sins. If you take down enough of the religious people, perhaps you feel your own life choices are somehow absolved/okay. But...your sins are your own. No matter how many people you try to bring down, you'll still have to deal with your own sins and the problems you cause.
Sure, JP bloviates and pontificates to an annoying extent but no more so than any deeply invested professor I've known. He knows his craft really well, too. His only sin, in the auth-leftists mind, is saying that legislating what people should say is wrong. When pressed on whether or not a person identified as the opposite gender to their biological sex, he said he would call them by their preferred gender pronouns which completely invalidates the entire and original crusade against him from the auth left.
Anyway, I liked the younger Adam_PoE who was fiercely intelligent and well-reasoned. As you get older, you're falling into this "auth-left" talking points crap. Bring back your old mind.
