1. I'm not so sure, remember when Fauci claimed that he WAS science!
2. Imagine if Peterson said something like that, you guys would lose your sh*t.
3. Regardless, Peterson isn't leftwing enough to be allowed in academia anymore.
4. You'll often find quite quirky and odd academic types, much like Peterson, but unfortunately conservatives are being completely pushed out. It's the only place where diversity doesn't matter at all.
1. Sounds like a boneheaded statement. Luckily we already know that he's smart so that's excusable.
2. Well, I kind of would because he's a therapist and a shitty academic. And speaking of losing my
****, I have done so ... on this thread ... because it's not just making a dumb offhanded statement, it's not knowing how to research ideas and form a solid thesis. Which usually gets you failed out of first year. Do you get now why I think he's outside the bounds of 'excusable' with his statements ? Nothing to do with the content.
3. Well, you are sort of right I suppose. They paid him off, though, because he saw manna in Patreon and right-wing podcast radio.
4. I don't believe this is true but I also have no evidence to support my suspicions.
If you want somebody who does Peterson, but does it right, go for Sam Harris. He's hated by left and right (because he's not PC about Islam but also because he rightly thinks Trump is a combination
****-threat) and puts together a considerable defense of his ideas.
