  1. Jordan Peterson’s 12 rules for life - an appraisal. Stand up straight with your shoulders straight. Unless you’re a peeping Tom and need to keep below that wall, otherwise that gorgeous, undressing next-door neighbour may spot you. Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping. In other words, pick up your own smelly socks, don’t litter, and make your own fucking bed! Befriend people who want the best for you. Well, this rests on your judgement of others’ character. If that’s shit, you’re fucked. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not the useless person you are today. This one totally contradicts the whole idea of self-improvement, for if I’m more useless today than I was yesterday, why am I even trying to self-improve?! Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them. Well, this assumes that you’re such an insane parental control freak with such a fascistic sense of keeping another in order that it’s not even worth considering, if only to save your own soul. Besides, kids need to make their own mistakes, so tough-titty if the parents can’t take this. Set your house in order before criticising the world. Well, if you’re a saint, perhaps. If you’re a messy flesh and blood human being then criticising the world is what gets most of us through the day, if the drugs aren’t working. Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient. Yeah, but that makes the enormous, unfounded assumption that any of this means anything whatsoever. Tell the truth, or at least don’t lie. I’m sorry, but that time my mother caught my porn stash under the bed, I had to lie and pin it on my twin brother, Tommy. Sometimes, lying just is the best policy and those who say otherwise are just liars. Assume the person you are listening to knows something you don’t. Ok. But this one falls down when it comes to my bank PIN number. Be precise in your speech. What ‘precise’ in one’s speech like Mr Jordan ‘why use 1 word when 21 will do?’ Peterson? Give me the conciseness of a Sam Harris any day. I’m sure Adam Sandler will concur. Do not bother children while they are skateboarding. Unless, that is, they are skateboarding all over your prize flowerbeds; then you can not only ‘bother’ them, but collar them and let them feel your hot garlicky breath on their cheeks. Pet a cat when you encounter one in the street. Unless, that is, the cat is frothing alarmingly at the mouth. Now where’s my publishing deal?😳
