00:00Jordan Peterson had a good shot at claiming the title of most popular philosopher of our time.

00:05And just a few years ago, I would have said he was a great role model and a great spokesperson

00:11for the values we embrace here at The Power Moves.

00:14But well, that has changed big time.

00:17We've seen a major shift in Peterson's focus and personality.

00:21He moved away from self-development and delved deeper into partisan politics.

00:26Today we have a perennially outraged drama queen, an ultra-conservative zealot

00:31and most recently, worst of all, even a cruel war advocate.

00:35So how did this all happen?

00:37How did we go from uplifting and bipartisan to rabid paranoia?

00:41Well, we'll advance four different and non-mutually exclusive theories

00:46and watch until the end for the most surprising one.

00:49Rule of life number 13.

00:57When you're always calling others narcissists and psychopaths, try looking at a mirror first.

01:03I think he's at least narcissistic, at minimum.

01:08Narcissists can fool naive women.

01:11That's why narcissists propagate, by the way.

01:14Canadians have a very difficult choice to make.

01:17They either wake up and realize that under the jurisdiction of this preposterous narcissist...

01:23Our first explanation is that JP was always the same, but he just hid it well.

01:29Now, to be frank, our title and rule 13 are too mean towards Peterson.

01:34I don't think there is much psychopathy in him, and I believe he has good intentions.

01:39Deep down, he's a guy who wants to do good.

01:42But when it comes to narcissism, well, we gotta wonder a little bit.

01:46He obviously loves the limelight, enjoys hearing himself talk, loves his guru status, the attention,

01:53and, well, how about his suits with his own name on them?

01:56That's a bit tacky, by the way.

01:58In a recent interview, he says this.

02:00The problem with online communication is that it disinhibits the narcissists and the psychopaths.

02:06Well, looking at his recent and more aggressive tweets, it comes just natural to reply that.

02:12Fuck, man, get a mirror.

02:14In that mirror, you may not find a full-blown dark triad, but you may at least see some worrying signs.

02:21If we wanted to psychologize, we can also speculate that Jordan Peterson's current anger and aggression

02:27are a sort of psychological reactance to his emotional fragility.

02:32So I wouldn't change that, but it's not nothing.

02:37It's certainly not just happiness.

02:39And his latent depression and existential angst were always aching for a mission.

02:45A mission to find meaning or to even escape.

02:49Well, he found his mission now in the conservative cause.

02:53Speaking of which, and this is the safest to say, Peterson always was a deeply conservative and deeply religious man.

03:01We say that on the power moves before he officially joined the Daily Wire.

03:06And it wasn't us who were particularly observant, but it was just obvious to many.

03:12Along the same vein, he was also a Western patriot of sorts,

03:16especially for the Anglo-Saxon part of the West and a Judeo-Christian apologist

03:22that eventually came out in the open once he joined Ben Shapiro's openly conservative network.

03:28Which leads us to our next point.

03:36By joining a club of ultra-conservatives and a business built on seeking and fomenting outrage,

03:42Jordan Peterson locked himself into the eco-chamber that he should have avoided most.

03:48We don't know his contract details, but it's entirely possible that he's required to tweet and rant

03:53against the most extreme and stupid examples of wokeism.

03:57And that overexposes him to extremism and warps his reality.

04:02Because, man, try this. Go outside, talk to many people,

04:06and you will find a lot more normal people than woke extremists.

04:11You will see that most people just want normal people stuff.

04:15Men want to get laid or find a girlfriend.

04:18Some girls just want to have fun and some others want to find a great man.

04:22Unemployed people want a job.

04:24Employed people want to advance their career.

04:27People with a house want to pay their mortgage.

04:29And, you know, just a lot of normal people with their daily life struggles and dreams and hopes.

04:36But listen to JP today and you get the feel that everyone is coaxing children into changing sex,

04:41exterminating humanity, or imposing some dystopian world order.

04:46And if that sounds like a conspiracy theory starter, but yeah, welcome to present day JP.

04:52In the face of such mandatory privations and manipulations,

04:56it's obvious that the last thing our tyrannical, idiot, panicked, virtue-signaling government should be doing

05:03is directing their demented attention toward regulating what people serve at their tables.

05:09Stuff like that is quite embarrassing to hear.

05:13A man I formally endorsed now talking nonsense on a topic he has zero expertise on.

05:21Quick advice, by the way. The golden rule of not talking out of your ass is stick to your expertise.

05:28For you, that ain't food and nutrition, Jordan.

05:31Brian, Brian, let me handle this.

05:33Ah, scusi.

05:34Babidi-boopi.

05:35Che cosa?

05:36Peter, what are you doing?

05:37Speaking Italian.

05:38Babidi-boopi.

05:39Bibidi-boopidi-babidi-babidi.

05:40Peter, you can't speak Italian just because you have a mustache.

05:43Bobidi-baba.

05:44The upside for Jordan Peterson is that there is an endless stream of people ready to follow any conspiracy theory guru,

05:52which leads us to our next point.

05:56Money and power grabbing.

06:00Jordan Peterson always loved money and made no mystery of it.

06:04But I'm an evil capitalist. I don't make any bones about it.

06:07Now he seems to indulge in it with fewer and fewer morals, though.

06:11When you're wealthy, and by your own admission, getting even wealthier.

06:15You are making a lot of money.

06:17Yes.

06:18Out of this.

06:19I certainly am.

06:20They made me a great deal financially.

06:24I gotta wonder.

06:25What's the point of launching a GoFundMe campaign to fight the legal battles that you decided to pick?

06:31Why should you ask your own followers to pay for your own legal bills?

06:36Together with his daughter, Peterson also aggressively promotes his new course.

06:40He talks down to his audience and he pulls endless power moves,

06:45which frankly make me personally dislike him in this video.

06:50And in my opinion, he also comes across like a snake or salesman.

06:55It's like, come on, man.

06:57How can you say that your course is better than any accredited university to find work?

07:03That sounds like total bullshit.

07:06Those are very valuable for any employer with a clue.

07:09So I think we can just skip the computation process and go right to the employers.

07:13And we might be able to change the education system.

07:15That's funny.

07:17It's weird.

07:18Which leads us to our last point.

07:26Jordan Peterson is being manipulated.

07:28By whom?

07:30Well, I'm not going to make any names here, but I'll leave it up to your imagination.

07:35These scenes, for example, were quite telling to me.

07:39I think, to tell you the truth, I think he's worn out from doing 10,000 things every day.

07:46Even when we tell him to take rests, he doesn't take them.

07:49So I think that plays a major role.

07:52But also the way our lives have changed has been overwhelming.

07:57So when he says he's overwhelmed all the time, I think that that's accurate.

08:02And the courses look so good.

08:11One last note must go to Peterson's recent takes on the Palestine War.

08:16My belief is that a humanist should always take a super-partous view on most wars.

08:23Most of all, obviously, a humanist will always avoid inciting and shearing for destruction.

08:30In simpler words, man, you can't just write shit like give them hell.

08:36It's just cruel, dishuman and ugly as fuck.

08:41And I'm admittedly and purposefully going to go for an emotional appeal now.

08:47This is war, man. This is war. Look at it.

08:51Warmongers are enemies of humanity.

08:56The only answer to warmongers is a heartfelt fuck you.

09:01So overall, it was a bit unsettling to see what we see as Peterson's descent into darkness.

09:08If it happened to a smart man like Peterson, it can happen to many more.

09:12And this is one more reason to always be careful and double-check ourselves.

09:17Finally, Jordan, this message is for you.

09:20You're a great man. The world needs you and you're a genius.

09:24And that's best served with a more political, more balanced approach.

09:29I think you have it in you to swing back towards a more centered stance.

09:34Some quick, unrequested advice.

09:37Number one, look deeply at the people you have around and reassess.

09:41Number two, spend less time on social media and more in real life.

09:46And number three, definitely keep pursuing a cause that's good, but ask yourself if you're not being too extreme.

09:54Whatever cause you pick, ask yourself if you can add more value while building more bridges and dialoguing more.

10:02We don't need more extremists. We need more balanced leaders.

10:06You can be one of them.

10:08In any case, whatever we said in this video, it will not cancel the much good you've done.

10:14You've certainly done a lot of that.

10:16Thank you for it. Wishing you the best.

10:19And if we can get more of that old Jordan Peterson going forward, even better.

10:23And back to us, if you enjoyed the video and agree with any of it, please like, share and subscribe.

10:29It will mean the world to us.

10:31Thank you so much. Big hug. Ciao ciao.
