Jordan Peterson hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis (SIRS), and "a spate of neurological issues

[Swede]

I think I'm gonna do some laundry.


Jordan Peterson hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis (SIRS), and "a spate of neurological issues (CIRS) that have apparently left him unable to regulate his emotions." His CIRS infection "is apparently the result of decades of living with mold."

1. Huh . . .

Dinner tonight - pasta with fresh tomatoes, pesto and romano cheese? Or do Chinese dumplings with brown rice and steamed vegetables sound better?

[miyazaki]

2. Chinese for sure, but i'd go with sweet & sour something. nt

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

13. Dumplings

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Peterson is not a dinner. . . . . nt

[niyad]

54. Pasta, of course.

[Pachamama]

101. Fusilli with Gorgonzola sauce

Love me some mold flavor

[fujiyamasan]

61. What did you go with?

I had sushi for dinner.

[nolabear]

3. Well that explains a little--sort of.

I and my fellow shrinks have always despised him and his ilk (Dr Phil, Dr. Drew, etc) who have just enough sense to make pure garbage sound possible. The circumstances make it sound like it’s far worse than that.

Now, red or white with the pasta?

[Cha]

35. I've never even heard the name

before... is that missing out because I don't have a TV?

TY!

[johnp3907]

41. Same here.

I'm like: "Did he play Kenen? or maybe Kel?"

[Swede]

44. Cha, he's been all over the internet because he's a rightwing influencer.

Young men are under his spell. He's a despicable money grubber.

[Cha]

45. Oh Thanks for explaining that...

I looked up his age.. 63... Shame on him Spreading Venom and Lies... Freaking Fascist "influencers".

TY Swede

[Bev54]

49. Also he is Canadian so you can be excused for not knowing him. He just recently moved full time

to US because Canadians were not buying his BS.

[Cha]

50. Whoa... TY Bev.. I Guess So.. Canadians

wouldn't buy his Shit.. so he goes to the country that's Chock Full of Brainwashed Idiots.

Plenty of USA Loving Patriots, though!

[womanofthehills]

75. He moved to US to start Peterson Univ in Florida

It’s an online school with courses in psychology and philosophy. His daughter Mikhaila is the CEO and they have 50,000 students. He teaches some of the classes, goes on lots of podcasts & has his own podcasts. He has around 50 million followers on YouTube, X and Instagram. Mostly appeals to young conservative men and is very pro Israel aligned with sites like Daily Wire. He’s close friends with Ben Shapiro which tells you all you need to know. He tweeted to Netanyahu “enough is enough - give ‘em’ hell” which I find totally sick.

If you are not into the podcast world where he is famous, you probably would not know of him.

[spooky3]

77. And, not accredited. Nt

[Bev54]

89. He was ordered by the courts in Canada to take some social media training or face disciplinary

proceedings and risk losing his license. He never did the training and lost his appeal so he can not operate here,

[milestogo]

4. Is he the husband who killed Laci Peterson?

[Tree Lady]

7. No that was Scott Peterson

[milestogo]

68. Well, he deserves to get pneumonia and sepsis and die

for killing his wife and unborn son.

12. Psychologist, Canadian i think, that is favored by right leaning males

An educated Joe Rogan


From wiki
Jordan Bernt Peterson (born 12 June 1962) is a Canadian psychologist, author, and media commentator. He received widespread attention in the late 2010s for his views on cultural and political issues. Often described as conservative, Peterson self-identifies as a classical liberal and traditionalist.

[mwmisses4289]

51. That's who I thought of- don't remember hearing of him otherwise.

[Coventina]

5. Well, he can always go to Russia for medical help.

[malaise]

6. Wow!

This is not good

[mr715]

21. Depends

where you are the on bloody hierarchy.

I mean, bloody hell, clean your room! Make your bed! Wipe front to back!


I do a good Jordan Peterson impression in person. It is Kermit with a doctorate and a mood disorder. And a monster daughter who is half frog, half pig yet somehow also 100% unicorn. Honestly... kinda like Meghan McCain

[malaise]

22. ROFL

That is all

[mr715]

24. When he dies of the rot inside

and the zeitgeist starts to memorialize him as a great thinker, am I bad person for just laughing through the whole thing?



(*I bloody well know! You can either be the dragon or the maiden and gosh - and if you are a male, or identify as male to as if "identify" has any bloody meaning in today's word, but you find me a male that doesn't want to be a dragon. And then, what do you get? You get a knight and what does he do? He slays the dragon! So etc.)

I hate him so much Wouldn't wish sepsis on anyone except about 20 people.

Also I hear he's addicted to klonopin.

[malaise]

30. Few will remember him

He has no way out of this one

[mr715]

31. The worst end for an academic.

He could've been remarkable, but he died on the hill he created. Sense a pattern?


Please make it pellucidly clear -- I shouldn't feel too guilty, right?

[malaise]

33. There are quite a few assholes in academia

He is seriously unremarkable.

[niyad]

63. It is hard to remember a person of whom one has never heard!

[DenaliDemocrat]

8. He's a dead man walking

Even if you survive sepsis older people don’t survive sepsis.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

15. He was on weird all meat diet.

[womanofthehills]

55. He's big in the podcast world as is his daughter Makhaila

Makhaila speaks often that she and her father are on the Lion Diet. She has been sick from childhood with severe rheumatoid arthritis and says meat is her only safe food. Sounds like they both have severe food allergies.

She’s also popular in podcast world. She and her father run Peterson University- an online school out of Florida with over 50,000 students. Classes are mostly philosophy & psychology.

The Carnivore diet is big now - even some nutritionists doing it.

Peterson & his daughter are both a little strange - she is very pretty and super serious - I’ve never seen her smile but I’ve heard her on podcasts talking a lot about how she and her father have been sick on and off for many yrs and just eating only meat improved their health.

He is pro Israel - a big turn off to me but he has a huge following.

[mr715]

32. It is worse than you state

Amongst people that talk about archetypes the survival rate is, potentially, 1%. Depends on the bloody sepsis, eh?

[niyad]

56. He is only 63.

[DenaliDemocrat]

62. He will not fully recover

Sepsis is tough for 30 year olds. It’s debilitating for older people

[womanofthehills]

76. His daughter Mikhaila recently reported he is recovering but very slowly

Seems like he’s been near death on and off for years.

[DenaliDemocrat]

88. He might end up in assisted living.

His cognitive abilities will be impaired. Then one day he just might not wake up. Sepsis is hard on the body.

[newdeal2]

9. Kirk and now Peterson

MAGA world is going to get interesting. Someone will cash in on all this upheaval.

[mr715]

27. Rule of 3s

Steven Crowder or Ben Shapiro

[womanofthehills]

78. Actually Jorden Peterson & Ben Shapiro are besties

Both are pro genocide and have given speeches together in Israel & elsewhere

[mr715]

92. Such winners. nt

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

10. The vintage suit wearing, meat eating jerk?

[Sogo]

11. Who??

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

14. An educated Joe Rogan. "Men are logic, women are chaos" is one of his theories

From wiki
Jordan Bernt Peterson (born 12 June 1962) is a Canadian psychologist, author, and media commentator. He received widespread attention in the late 2010s for his views on cultural and political issues.

--------

His bigotry, much of it gender based, anti female, ant Trans, is more subtle.. long pseudo talks with are of scientific sheen rather than the crudeness of a Charlie kirk

[PlanetBev]

18. The guy who said women are chaos

Now can’t control his emotions. Karmic payload.

[malaise]

23. His diet

Is chaos

[mr715]

20. "Educated" but fraud.

He is a sophist. He is what Socrates warned us about 2200 years ago.

[mr715]

93. He is a master of making simple points sound super smart.

He has a good understanding of mythology and was a respectable clinical psychologist, but he a breakdown after his wife's cancer diagnosis and got addicted to klonopin.

He detoxed in Russia in a medically induced coma. Because, ya know, you go Russia for state of the art medical treatment.

Dr. Peterson is the platonic form of an arrogant professor, an angry man, and a sick individual.

And his daughter is cuckoo bananas.

And they only eat meat and perrier.

[mr715]

25. He's kinda like Charlie Kirk

Think Charlie Kirk but with university credentials and more formal disgrace. Imagine a non-sexually disgraced Bill Cosby that read a lot of Jung.

[Volaris]

40. If jung were inverted from a liberating underpinning of healing

Into a misogynistic trap for cultural conservativism.

[mr715]

42. Jung wasn't too great in re: social justice

But he was a smart guy.

Jordan Peterson is easier to laugh at, bloody hell.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Jordan Peterson IS a mold. . . nt

[mr715]

38. "Being" mold is an archetype, and it is bloody scary, eh? nt

[mr715]

19. Hopefully his all meat diet will expedite his recovery

His daughter mentions his illness may be due to "spiritual attacks" which is exactly what I would expect from the child of a clinician.

I sure hope Jupiter enters the 3rd House before Venus is retrograde.

[malaise]

34. ROFL

[womanofthehills]

58. His daughter Mikhaila recently "found God"

I guess her dad and newborn baby both went in ambulances to hospitals within 3 hrs on same day. Her newborn’s heart stopped beating and has been hospitalized twice so I guess she’s trying to rationalize it all in some strange way with her newly found Christian faith. I disagree with her views but sympathize with her because she has been sickly her whole life since childhood. You would be kind of weird raised by Jordan - he is super intense.

People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity often have severe food allergies and can often only eat a few foods. This happened to me after my city sprayed outdated malathion for mosquitos up & down streets. I was pesticide poisoned- foaming at the mouth - and could only eat 4 foods or my throat would close. Lasted a yr and then gradually I could add more food. They said they were both exposed to mold in the past & recently but could have had other toxic exposures because Jordan was very sick yrs ago and also addicted to drugs. Two very strange people.

[yardwork]

65. Which four foods could you eat?

[womanofthehills]

72. Organophosphates mess with your acetylcholine receptors, gut and bronchials

They actually destroy bronchial cells so I had bad reactive airway disease and it messes with nerve signals that control digestion.

Three months I could not tolerate protein- lived on organic oranges & bananas - then was able to add chicken & yogurt for the next year and then little by by little other foods as the damage repaired.

However in my MCS support group there was one women who could only tolerate wild meat - she died.

I actually was spokesperson for my neighborhood after spraying as most of the kids got bad asthma attacks. I went to the newspaper and I sued the city and won. Could not sue because you can drop into a manhole & city is protected but got a toxic tort lawyer - I was on their no spray list from asthma attacks from previous spraying and they discriminated against me by spraying - plus using some old unapproved pesticide a worker found in a shed

That’s why I moved way out into the country. I can eat most foods now but only eat organic. Exposure to pesticides still closes my throat.

Being their family is all sickly makes me think environmental exposure. Most of the people in my MCS support group became ill after a chemical exposure, mold exposure, new toxic carpet etc. in fact a friend with MCS won a lawsuit against a carpet mfg as mice put in a cage with her new carpet all died.

[yardwork]

67. Your post raises a question in my mind.

I don't know anything much about Peterson and his daughter. Are you saying she's been sickly her whole life? She supposedly had severe auto-immune disease (RA) and food allergies so severe that almost all foods make her sick? Her father raised her and he was a drug addict?

Now his grandchild is severely sick?

Makes me wonder about Münchausen syndrome by proxy. Just a thought...

Edited to add that I just read that Jordan Peterson HIMSELF talks a lot about Münchausen syndrome by proxy! He's regularly accused parents and school teachers of this if they accept and affirm their trans and gay kids.

Considering that with these guys every accusation is a confession I'm now very interested...

[womanofthehills]

82. I don't think so because Mikhaila had severe RA

And operations as a teen. She was on all kinds of RA drugs since anround 7 and had a hip & ankle replacement at 17. Never sounded very stable as she was also diagnosed with personality disorders.
She claims her severe RA went away when she restricted her diet to only meat, bone broth and a few other foods. She has another older daughter who appears healthy- she posted the baby had hypertension. Jordan has a wife who is dealing with cancer and Mikhaila has a brother - seems like a close family from how they post.

I think both she and her father have had mental problems for yrs and taken lots of psych drugs but also physical health problems. Here she is in a podcast talking about her dad being sick - notice how flat her affect is - until she cries.

[yardwork]

95. I don't know much about Mnchausen syndrome by proxy.

There have been some well-publicized legal cases where parents were convicted of abusing their children by making them sick on purpose. The children had all kinds of severe medical issues but it turned out they were caused by the parent. The children were very very ill - disabled - but the cause was poisoning and abuse by the parent.

Both the father and daughter have serious mental health issues and now the grandchild is very sick as well?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. Go to the light, Jordan!

28. I recommend the cannoli

29. The red pillers have been on edge with Kirk and now Peterson.

His latest health issues happened the past few months. He was apparently near death, and this article is odd, to say the least. His daughter is quoted here:

Fuller added that he had been suffering from symptoms of neuropathy and weakness for the last few years and his condition worsened after Peterson cleaned out his late father’s basement earlier this year.

“We don’t have a better explanation for his neurological symptoms at the moment other than spiritual attacks,” she said.

Fuller noted that they were unable to communicate with him for much of September but “after almost a month in the ICU, he’s been moved out to a less urgent floor. Praise God for that.”

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

43. And Kirk's mentor, Dennis Prager, in bad shape since he fell off a ladder

[mr715]

46. Dr. Atkins cept psychological nt

[valleyrogue]

52. I forgot all about him.

His fate is even worse than what far right godfather Paul Weyrich went through. He was a mess for years until his death, thanks to a fall that confined him to a wheelchair in his final years.

Getting back to Peterson, that family is completely screwed up. His daughter apparently dated Andrew Tate, the worst of the worst, for a time. Disgusting.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

57. Tell him Tommy says hi

?si=jYOrmFCR81Q8v0ua

[womanofthehills]

59. He's had severe health issues on and off for years

I remember a few yrs ago, he was extremely sick for a yr. He, his wife and daughter all sick - they say mold but it could be other toxic exposures. Maybe they all lived in a toxic mold infected house.

[Iggo]

36. Spaghetti and meatballs. (n/t)

[RockRaven]

37. Oh.

Anyway...

39. I apologize

From the comments.

[Bev54]

48. Awww that's too bad

[niyad]

53. Am I supposed to know, or care about, this person?

[irisblue]

60. He is very well known in the manosphere/right wing culture

Source-https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/mar/19/beyond-andrew-tate-the-imitators-who-help-promote-misogyny-online

Snip-"Jordan Peterson
Alongside Tate, the conservative Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson is one of the more established names seen to be promoting sexist and anti-feminist ideas on YouTube as part of the “manosphere” – though he has denied being a misogynist.He has 8.64 million subscribers to his account, which advocates against gender equality and in favour of traditional roles on the grounds that men and women are fundamentally different. He has also argued that trans activism is “sexist and delusional”, as well as a denial of science.

Debbie Ging, a professor of digital media and gender at Dublin City University, said her recent study of toxic masculinity noted that he advocates “traditional masculine values of courage, self-discipline and order as an antidote to the alleged chaos and narcissism of ‘woke’ modernity”.Another recent study suggested that Peterson’s popularity had contributed to the rise of boys and men who believe that feminism has done more harm than good.

Peterson has said in a video that the “Andrew Tate phenomenon” is a result of Tate becoming “a voice” offering “forthright aggression” as an alternative to “cringing defeat”, a perspective which he said he “had sympathy” for, although he added he was not “particularly impressed” by some of Tate’s work."

[niyad]

64. Thank you.

[mr715]

70. He's a few crystals short of a coven nt

[irisblue]

71. Nice phrase 👏👏👏

[niyad]

80. Excuse me? What does that even mean?

[irisblue]

84. I took ot to mean a few fries short of a happy meal.

Given Petersons' fear of powerful women, it worked for me.

[niyad]

86. Well, since Covens are gatherings of living beings, which crystals are not, nor

are they even necessary for a Coven, that statement was a bit odd, whatever its intent.

[mr715]

96. The construction is obvious

A license taken, I admit, at the altar of alliterative appeal. I acknowledge this.

It could be anything of anything - He's a few cows short of a herd. He's a few crayons short of a box. He's a few briefcases short of a lawsuit. I, for example, am a few scoops short of sundae.

As to why crystals and covens, it is bc Jordan Peterson is at least nominally a Jungian who draws upon mythologies as old as mystery religions in Greece and even further back.

[mr715]

90. That is what I was going for! nt

[underpants]

79. Thank you

[UTUSN]

91. He's been a pain in the neck of us for several years now, what's his status/prognosis now (not looking)

Am surprised some of our bright lights here don't know him.

[mr715]

97. I've seen nothing new

He may recover but it'll take a toll. Or he might not recover. Either way, he will have to cross a threshold from order into chaos. I hope he made his bloody bed!

[Iggo]

73. He's what falls to the ground when you shake the tree Charlie Kirk fell out of.

An elevated internet troll.

81. Ahh, thank you.

66. Let's hope it's serious. NT

85. Mr Peterson who was a character on The Bob Newhart Show?

[irisblue]

87. No, a important philosopher in the manosphere. See post 60

[mr715]

98. Sophist!

Not a philosopher. He is a philosophical mercenary.

[irisblue]

99. Ok fair

[mr715]

100. Sorry for the semantics

I just loathe Jordan Peterson so, so much. He is so full of shit. Antithetical to what a professor of psychology, and a clinician besides should be.

Plus he is weird. And mean. And a hypocrite.

[GoneOffShore]

103. He's a Reich Whiner. He 'Charlies' when he 'debates'.
