    Are you serious in claiming that clinically depressed people need to be told to clean their room and stand up straight? I'm neurodivergent with Asperger's and type II bipolar disorder - based on my personal, in-depth experience on depression that would feel like an insult, a dismissal by simplicity. Yes, it can have a positive effect in some cases and some people, but to a truly, deeply depressed person it's belittling.

    yes. its a very simple thing but there are no negatives to it. im failing to see the issue

    Because it was repeated twice unchanged - that's not a simple question but a demand. Then again, I brought them up in a dismissive context to ridicule their simplicity, coming from an erudite but at time obtuse clinical psychologist. Anyway, I read the book, it was mostly bland but at times really horrible - e.g. Peterson makes his life choices exemplary in comparison to a childhood friend who makes a lot of bad choices - the superiority of Peterson's way of life is validated by his friend not having the same grit and discipline - but there's more self-righteous nastiness in there.

    yeah because u didnt answer it

    I see what you're aiming for with that repeated rhetorical device; the binary answer is a trap - if I answer no, my position is invalidated because I'm admitting Peterson is right - if I answer yes, I'm dismissing common sense advice on how to be a good/better person. No, there's nothing bad about them (unless your dad will beat you with jumper cables if you don't), but it doesn't invalidate my opinion on Petersen being a bloviating buffoon.

     

    not what i was aiming for lol i just cannot comprehend how anyone would think they are brain rot

    that particular sentence just jumped out at me thats all. you are free to have the rest of your opinion about him, and anyway, those kind of small steps do wonders for people with depression

     

    oops mb forgot to quote

     

    also why do you see it as a rhetorical device lmao. detach yourself from the notion of someone getting one up on another and just see it for what it is - a simple question

    That's exactly my point - if those are things that you need to be told do to get your shit together, you deserve to like the rest of Peterson's oeuvre. It's all about being a man, sucking it up, not being a pussy, standing up straight and getting your collar starched.

    but is there anything bad about cleaning your room and standing up straight with good posture?

    I wasn't going to read 12 Rules because the premise seemed so ridiculous; based on the articles I'd read on Petersen and a handful of video appearances - I started to watch the "lecture" version of the book, but it got so boring so quickly that I couldn't be arsed. Then a work mate asked if I could read it and review it for him - he's a video person, not a reader - he wanted my honest opinion on it and offered to buy the book. I took it as a challenge and read the bloody thing from start to finish, and I was underwhelmed: the writing's bland, self-aggrandising, misogynist, patriarchal and several other kinds of WTF am I reading inane "clean your room" and "stand straight" type self-help mush that'll rot your brain. Oh and there are two ASCII smileys in the book, FFS. I understood why my workmate likes his ideas - he's a right-leaning boomer - but I was not impressed. Peterson loves the sound of his own voice and thinks rather highly of himself, then overreaches by a blatant display of erudition by writing reams of nonsense. 12 Rules is a simplified distillation of his first book, Maps of Meaning, which took him 13 years to write and less than 13 people have read it; Paul Thagard wrote that Maps of Meaning is "defective as a work of anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and politics." I understand why some people may actually like 12 Rules and the ideology of it - but I also know the type of people is far removed (please) from me. To me, it was WOMBAT - waste of money, brains, and time.

    just wondering what is brain rotting about cleaning your room and standing up straight with good posture?

    SOPHIE - BIPP (Autechre Mx)

    in Autechre

    Posted

    Bursting out in a sweat of terror, Rob plunges up from the abysses of his nightmare in bed in which his laptop got sucked into a blackhole, with 50% of their max patches being transferred across infinite time and space never to be seen again.
    "Babe, what's the matter?" his Victoria's Secret-esque wife asks, hurriedly, "You're screaming! You woke me up! I'm here for you...is it Sean's face again?"

    "I've got nothing left...it's all gone. Everything I've ever worked for, I've only got one thing left to do..."

    Still in a remarkable stupor of mental fatigue, Rob searches for his phone under his pillow and calls Sean immediately, all the while giving scant attention to his wife's cold clasp on his shoulder.

    Rob's heart grows tighter as it keeps ringing, constantly flitting between glancing at the screen and holding it to his ear.

    "Fuck sake, pick up you twat"

    Rob's wife can hear their eldest making batterings and groanings with the Machinedrum downstairs.

    "Uhhh Rob? alright mate it's half 3 in the morning, what you after, fella?"

    Rob's body jolts.

    "Sean mate you gotta come over right this fuckin second lad, swear to god just listen to me, don't ask any questions, just bring the 808."

    "Can't you just dropbox me it? You know I live ages away geezer."

    "No, it has to be tonight. Come, now."

    Still half asleep and languorous  but fully cognizant of the fact that Rob has never shown this level of determination before, Sean asks no questions and acquiesces and jumps out of bed. His laptop is still running a patch, he puts on his headphones for a few seconds to check; "Decent, I'll keep it running" he whispers to himself.

    Sean locks his house and drives over in a hurry, his car humming Zoviet France at a low rumbling volume.

    Rob's phone rings.

    "Alright mate, I'm outside."

    Rob unlocks the door to a gristly chinned Sean, smiling a hopeful but confused half smile and furrowing his brow a little.

    Rob leads them both to the front room, packed with gear, wires, modules and any and all electronics you may think. It's almost impossible to move in there.

    "Get the 808 out." Rob says imperiously.

    Rob takes a seat on the drum kit stool and intensely meditates for a few minutes as Sean plugs in the 808 and sets it to 104BPM.

    "You alright mate? How's your missus? You haven't even said hello."

    Rob makes no reply.

    Gurglings and bass-heavy grumblings start coming from the Dynaudio Acoustic BM6 setup. Sean's need for a fag is directly proportional to the length of time the beat keeps plodding onwards.

    Rob breaks his stasis. "Oi get those stems SOPHIE sent us a few years ago. They should be on the desktop." He begins to play a - what seems like - slightly out of time hi-hat rhythm over the vocals and 808.

    Sean starts nodding his head with the very beginnings of a smirk coming into his countenance.

    7-8 minutes pass with neither of them speaking a word to one another, just a large thudding and mesmerising din splurging from the speakers.

    Rob's wife comes down the stairs, peeks her head round the door frame and rolls her eyes amorously with a smile, as perhaps a parent does when their child embarrasses themselves innocently. "I love them" she thinks to herself. She goes to check on the kids.

    "Fuck...this is lush", Sean mutters. He plays with the parameters on the 808 a little bit more. After a short 15 minute warmup, they press record.

    The banging of the kicks grow louder and Rob begins to lower his head towards the hi-hat, pattering on it with his drumsticks, his mouth agog. He uses no other part of the drumkit.

    Sean lights up a fag.

    "Yeah...this is the one..." Sean takes a drag. 

    Rob temporarily exits his hypnosis, "Add the vocals and slow them down a bit."

    "This is deffo the one." A bit of ash drifts from the end of his fag.

    Rob closes his eyes, mouth agape.

    "Yeah..."

    welcome :))))))))))))

    this is sounding pretty lush i like the panning shit

    around 2:35 onwards in Alkaloid the sucky dwop hit is starting to sound out of time to my ears, perhaps it was intentional not sure

    N7As got good momentum and bounce

    i really wanna smash a huge hall reverb on Cipher and see what it sounds like, might give it a tiiiny bit more life

    oh damn it picks up at 4:19

     

    good timbres i like it, the ligeti sounding strings are nice too
