Jordan Peterson‘s 12 more (God help us all!) rules for life - an appraisal.
Do not carelessly denigrate social institutions or creative achievement. Oh man. Come on! If I can’t slag off the mother-in-law you’ve thereby instantly removed 5% of my reason for getting up in the morning. Similarly, if I see a post-post-modern, abstract-expressionist post-impressionist painting in a gallery I reserve the right to draw a cock and balls over it. I want my artists figurative. Or at the very least, Italian.
Imagine who you could be and then aim single-mindedly at that. Hmm … I’m imagining I could be Jordan Peterson. Oh, wait. The world isn’t big enough to contain TWO identical egos that large!
Do not hide unwanted things in the fog. Especially if John Carpenter is lurking somewhere in that fog.
Notice that opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated. Ok, I think that makes sense. Are you saying that if I refuse to wash the dishes and decline to put the garbage out I’m on a blow-job promise that self same evening? Sounds good to me!
Do not do what you hate. Yay! Jordan Peterson himself is telling me I don’t have to read a single thing he ever writes ever again! Thanks Jordy. 🙏
Abandon ideology. What, abandon the ‘ideology’ of condensing the incredible complexity of human life and existence into 12 cookie-cutter platitudes I once read in a bunch of fortune cookies? That ideology?
Work as hard as you possibly can on at least one thing and see what happens. Well, since the age of about 13 I’ve been actively fulfilling this injunction and it’s nearly fallen off.😳
Try to make one room in your home as beautiful as possible. Can we agree on a corner of one room? A whole room just sounds extravagant and, frankly, a waste of my time when I’ve got rule 7 to be getting on with.😳
If old memories still upset you, write them down carefully and completely. Yes, they do. However, not sure writing them down will help. Can I not just do the more obvious, sensible thing and, er, like, well, forget them?
Plan and work diligently to maintain the romance in your relationship. Yes, I buy my dick flowers at least every other Friday.
Do not allow yourself to become resentful, deceitful, or arrogant. Ha! Ya got me. While I resent no one but the milk-man who ran away with the wife back in 1987 (I’m still working through it), and I have deceived no one since that time I pretended I was Jesus at a convention of atheist/agnostics, the ‘arrogant’ one still niggles. Yes, I have to admit that when in an almighty pickle, I do sometimes think: ‘What would Donald Lamont do?’ Sorry.
Be grateful in spite of your suffering. Well, one of my avatars kinda said this about 2,600 years before Saint Jordan palmed it off as one of his own. But hey! plagiarism never hurt anybody when you’re trying to fool most of the people most of the time!😁
Note: Jordan Peterson will publish 12 more rules for life when he’s spent all the money he got from gullible fools buying the first 24. 🤔
