Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

A friend of the family who i discuss politics with asked me to read Jordan Peterson's 13 rules for life, i asked him, in return, to watch/listen to some of Parenti's lectures. He accepted.

I really didn't think this through did i.. I have to read Jordan Peterson now😭

The self help book - like many others - has no meaningful concept of externalities so fails to give the toolkit to find the solution to complex problems one may have, and has no real understanding of social cooperation to solve challenging problems. It is essentially relying on the luck of privilege; that your problems are sufficiently devoid of most people's realities that neither tackling externalities nor real social cooperation or organisation is required to solve them.
