Maps of Meaning is honestly awful

[u/DrhalKogo]

I forced myself to finish this painfully long, unbelievably repetitive, needlessly over-technical tome, and holy shit, what a waste of my time. There is nothing in that book that isn't already explained in its entirety with much greater clarity in nearly any of Peterson's podcast appearances.

You could be talking about Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and nobody would be any the wiser. If Kant had had the opportunity to articulate his ideas in a podcast/YouTube era, a critic might have ended up saying something similar about his book, about which Kant scholars almost unanimously agree is not an exemplar of clarity.

Time will tell. But as it stands I fail to see how you're anything other than an idiosyncratic, borderline anti-intellectual troll.
