Jordan J.P. “The Jeep” Peterson had a stress-induced mental breakdown, got addicted to benzos, got kidnapped by his daughter and spirited off to a sketchy-as-hell detox clinic in Russia, and went into an induced coma.  Currently, he’s up and about (so to speak) but can no longer work and will probably be dead very soon.

He wrote a self-help book directed primarily at young men that’s mostly common-sense shit like “clean your room” and “enjoy small pleasures in life,” but also has weird segues into stuff like “chaos is feminine and order is masculine (also chaos is bad, see the aforementioned bad take on Nazism).” It’s basically Man Up And Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps: The Book.

His daughter, Mikhaila, had several diseases growing up, including juvenile arthritis and chronic fatigue, but claims to have been miraculously cured of all of them so long as she eats a diet of purely beef, salt, water, and bourbon (how she has managed to not get scurvy is anyone’s guess), with devastating effects if she eats or drinks anything else. She got her dad hooked on this diet, to the point that he claimed to have stayed awake for 25 days straight due to having one glass of apple cider. As a side note, he claims that what kept him awake was a feeling of impending doom. That’s a fairly well-known symptom of panic attacks, which is important given the following:

It became public in 2019 that he’s had anxiety and depression for some years and was prescribed benzos for it, and then got more and more dependent on them. He tried unsuccessfully to detox several times until his daughter took him to Russia because, according to her, North American doctors are influenced by pharmaceutical companies to keep people addicted and don’t have “the guts” to detox someone cold turkey. The reason, of course, why his usual doctors wouldn’t just detox him cold turkey is that rapid detox from benzos can cause seizures and fucking death, which is why the standard practice is to taper a person off slowly over a period of months.

So, to recap:

Dude becomes famous for challenging The Establishment and liberal academia and writing a self-help book about maintaining masculine order and opposing the feminine chaos;

Dude claims that an all-beef diet cured all of his medical problems;

Dude is revealed to have serious mental health problems and physical addiction that have somehow not been cured by his diet or by his rigid adherence to order;

Dude decides to ignore those know-it-all academic doctors with their mamby-pamby “maybe you shouldn’t try to stop taking your meds cold turkey” bullshit and goes to Russia where they make you pull yourself up by your mental bootstraps and go cold turkey from his meds;

You are correct! Basically, his opinion is as follows:

1. Animals (including lobsters) have natural hierarchies based on dominance and hormones.

2. Therefore, hierarchies are natural rather than imposed by society.

3. Therefore, stuff like the patriarchy isn’t a cultural creation, iT’s NaTuRaL!

just going to add that to the list

“western media wont talk about this but the vietnamese government is helping citizens fight the coronavirus by offering free /proper/ meals for people in quarantine areas and free groceries/necessities for a whole neighborhood in lockdown”

———————–

“- here people will be placed in quarantine due to travel history, showing symptoms or recent contact with current patients - the neighborhood in lockdown is because the 17th patient, possibly a “super spreader”, resided there”

“some korean travelers are also in quarantine so they were given korean meals because what if they aren’t used to vietnamese food”

“i ran out of characters but this is also meant to poke fun at how the usa and some european nations respond to this outbreak, both their government and people. anw if you constantly think of countries in the global south with your shallow eurocentric bias then karma will get you.”

“Muting this now reach me through DM if you need to! Appreciate all the good sentiments”

“your gov may be shitty but extend your appreciation and support to doctors & healthcare workers on the frontline of this crisis! if you cant wear masks, wash hands often, avoid touching MEN (Mouth Eyes Nose), and avoid crowds (PLEASE). the system is in shambles so be proactive”

“The Vietnam government makes sure the neighbors of the “super spreader” number 17th has enough food for 14 days. The citizens in quarantine be making friends, cleaning up the place together, giving out roses for women patients for International Women day, even fall in love lol~”

Also, they have developed their own kit, which is apparently easy and cheap to mass-produce and has a fail rate of 0 so far, meaning it produces accurate results every time. The kicker? The test is so efficient that you can receive the results within one hour.

“t was developed jointly by the Vietnam Military Medical University and tech firm Viet A Corporation.

It is based on reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a technique that combines reverse transcription of RNA into DNA and amplification of specific DNA targets using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The kit can detect the new coronavirus in specimens of droplets obtained from the respiratory tract and blood samples.

Do Quyet, director of the university, said all tests done by the university and Viet A Corporation found the kit meeting World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention standards.”

The initial batch is producing 10,000 a day for distribution across Vietnam, but they said they could triple the number if needed. For comparison, 10,000 tests a day is what is being administered in South Korea, with the goal being there to upgrade to 30,000 tests a day as well.

me: yea but there’s this remarkable invention called the washing machine
