His maps of meaning and the personality lectures he uploaded to youtube were very good. His 12 rules for life book was also pretty good.
Sadly, people online seem to mostly remember the things he spewed on twitter after that. It saddens me to see him vilified, or for him to say embarrassing things outside his competence.
he lost the plot ever since his daughter dragged him to russia to dry him off of benzos. then he tried to get back into it way to quick. never been the same.
What's sad is that he just said some obvious things that has been normalized to demonize:
Personal responsibility over grievance politics, men and women are biologically different and have different priorities, hierarchies are natural, it's valuable to rediscover traditional values, etc.
Wheter you think he was legit or a plant, it's sad to see the lenghts modern society goes to undermine those ideas
his mistake was the "pick up the heaviest load you can carry" approach. he's the living proof of why it does not work.All resilient systems need slack, including humans. otherwise they get overloaded and break. in case of humans, this usually results in self destructive behaviors and addictions.
I agree with most of your conclusion, however, Petersen vilified his fan base and rightfully they reciprocated sentiment. It would be doing a disservice to the situation at large to reduce his continued path on the side of evil as an "oopsie."

What's the side of evil? He's always been against marxism.
