Within most religions, certainly academia, and in secular society, we have the most effete, cowardly elites of any time in history.

The comment section of that tweet shows a surprisingly large number of Turtle Necked Wire Rimmed Glasses Gillettes Threatened By A Pickle Jar Cum-before-the-girl's-bra-is-off theologians we are now burdened with.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires.”
2 Timothy 4:1-4

Goddamnit, sorry I read this before logging off tonight.

Apparently, they also tweeted this out before notifying him, and it may have been they extended the invitation in the first place.

The way in which this ethical and intellectual scholar and professor has been treated by the mainstream media and the universities is appalling and proves that Trump was right on signing an executive order to protect free speech on campuses was justified and necessary.

Jordan Peterson is the best selling Canadian Author of all time

He broke through Gladwell's outlier by 600,000 copies of his books several months ago, at 3M copies.

While being a Harvard Graduate and a PhD at Toronto.

Because Leftism is not intellectually curious, but must defend the Unconstrained Vision, his relation of symbols and his Jungian neo-Stoicism is an absolute threat to the "Blank Slate" Socialists require for their worldview. Leftists believe nothing emotional or mental is constrained by biology, making humans unique among all living things in Nature.

OMFG

Since his (Jordan Peterson) confrontation with Cathy Newman, the Canadian academic’s book has become a bestseller. But his arguments are riddled with ‘pseudo-facts’ and conspiracy theories

Lolz @ guardian half retarded hit piece. Zero thought whatsoever. This is why MLTC suggests the left lacks intellectual curiosity.

Lolz the comment section totally ratiod the idiotic guardian hit piece

"*About as dangerous as a kitten. Unless you are averse to science and data. Or are on the extreme far left and far right*"

Too many sheltered cowards today. It’s why fringe leftists take over, because everyone else is too chicken shit to stand up to that.

Kakistocracy says

But his arguments are riddled with ‘pseudo-facts’ and conspiracy theories

So is the Left-wing Guardian: For example: calling Peterson a right-winger when his philosophy has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with taking responsibility for your own life, something the left is against as their rise to socialism does not permit the individual to exist. You are now to be identified with a group.

Kak neither read the article nor thinks Peterson's "arguments are riddled with" anything. He just posted the first hit piece article that Google handed to him.

Proof: there is zero support for the "riddled with" claim.

I've noticed this trend to revert to a journalist's implied authority rather than make a case for oneself. I find it bizarre and unjustifiable

This is JP's core point. As society's virtue signals require acceptance of willful lies ( or more ignorance of reality), we drift closer towards murderous righteousness.

The Left really has just one tactic that they use over and over: "misrepresent and shame" as James Damore put it.

1. misrepresent the point you are making
2. shame you for it, even though it is a misrepresentation of what you're saying

So they misrepresent Jordan Peterson as a right-winger, and then try to shame him for it.

Newman was trying to ambush him, and he made her look ridiculous and turned the whole Gotcha! Attempt on it's head.

@Kak, have you watched the video?

I am barely into Jordan, I've only watched perhaps two videos of him, one of which is the Newman interview.

Although I will be ordering his big book, next.

JO has great material.

Read his book too, bit hard to read, he uses big words, but really good stuff.

MisterLearnToCode says

I think he over intellectualizes like people in academia tend to do, perhaps a little lost in his own head. Watched many videos of him and plenty are available since he is constantly being posted on You Tube. I find most interesting the idiotic conflicts he gets into with radical leftists, many of whom want to pigeon hole him and equate him with white nationalists. Amazing how people in college who are supposedly in college to consider all angles or arguments before arriving at a conclusion seem to be indoctrinated at an early stage in the learning process and suffer from the right man complex, or right woman complex, where in everyone who disagrees with them is wrong, or immoral and has an opinion that isn't even worth considering.

JP needs a Cambridge fellowship like he needs a third nipple. Totally unnecessary to either his popularity, fame, or income stream. For Cambridge to dangle it and then rescind the offer for a totally retarded reason says much more about the lows to which that institution has sunk than it does about the character of JP.

Every time an elite college bans JP, he adds a zero to his bank account.

Money follows attention. These attacks are opportunities for JP to show off his ninja debate skills, vastly inscreasing his following each time.

Gives me the warm fuzzies

Attack the position or indirectly the person as mentally deficient and a "hit piece"

My my - a psychic and seer now ? As I have stated numerous times on the forum I do not use "google", nor do you know what I have or have not read..

CBOEtrader says

Proof: there is zero support for the "riddled with" claim.

I have time to wait for the "proof" there is nothing. "support" for something by the same group who believes Cambridge treated him unfairly is not quite the same as no proof

CBOEtrader says

Really - coming from someone who will not, refuses actually to honestly admit the amount of and degree of financial burden required when trying to get out from under an annunity, who hides behind I will send you a brochure....

As for the findings of bizarre and unjustifiable no need to offer my personal views, if they are not different than the source material I have offered.

The only reason for the request is to mount an attack - which using the 3Ps the "person" option was selected again.

As for what is justified or unjustifiable I believe I have made my feelings where CBOETrader and his viewpoints (attacks) are concerned perfectly clear but let me know if I need to reiterate...here is a nice version....I do not care - u do not matter....

WillPowers says

Like the farmers screaming for financial bailouts in Trump country ?

Why does the Trump support team embrace socialism when it benefits them directly but not so much when someone else benefits ?

MisterLearnToCode says

@Kak, have you watched the video?

Have you read all of the Michael Hudson posts and actually understood what he is talking about in them ?

Figured u may have given it a whirl, some of the other commenters on this thread - not so much especially the understanding part.

I suffered thru the video - I won't be watching anymore. Nor would I waste my money to the big book, little book or any of his works that I can see for free

This "outrage" seems to be one more boring episode in the never evening string of "outrage" posts - not so long ago it was Milo Yiannopoulos was the victim de jour...already forgotten the others..

So much outrage - so little time

Those goddamn librul lefties....if only there was a way to eliminate them from the face of the earth

Can someone give me a hint who will be featured on the next "outrage" & "shameful" treatment post ?

Potus and most of his administration have been covered - who will the next victim be ?

Yes, as did 90% of the comment section. The author doesnt make a point. His entire article is a plea to authority. It is the weakest kind of vacuous propaganda. Pure fluff, completely void of facts.

Funny, considering the claim is simple. Does JP use bad data or flawed assumptions?

Go ahead and show us an example. Any example. Just one.

(You cant)

Nothing but personal attacks - maybe add in some name calling, see the mechanic from the IWLU for details. He may not be up yet since it is only 4:00 A.M. in California.

No, I'm criticizing your lack of an argument. You still have not made a single point, or even discussed the retarded article you dropped.

Try actually discussing something. It's why we're here (the rest of us at least)

My colleague Quigley is a better man than myself. Quigley expects too much.

I just want ONE point. Choose ONE example of JP's bad data or pseudo science. If there is a valid critique, let's hear a small sliver of it at least.

CBOEtrader says

Lol, dude I've never seen more words used for less actual content. Try making a point and staying on a topic.

@Onvacation - I am usually disappointed with the same from yourself and others but then we can't all be climate change deniers and play games with posts about the ideal temperature for human habitation.

Don't care what u think, otherwise I would have you off ignore wouldn't I ?

Patrick - as soon as I saw the title and knowing a bit about Peterson I just has this feeling this was the new "darling" of the right and I was not disappointed.

Milo's replacement until the next one comes along. An intellectual who has spent years without much of any attention or recognition is suddenly the new messiah.

It wasn't that long ago at all that Milo was the one being crucified by the evil liberal left, if Peterson turns out to have some sexual dalliances or other skeletons that are not in keeping with the expected image, will he be next to be tossed under the bus?

Controversy sells books. Not too excited or moved by the NYT times review either. Then again I suspect the majority of those books are bought by the "target audience"

Kind of ironic actually in that normally it is the professor types that are under the attack here until one takes a stance on gender identity and the
on air interview which everyone here is raving about because "he showed her"...

Actually his degree is normally under attack on here as well so I just don't get the hype other than that he embraces the right.

Quigley says

Ditto

Never seem to be lacking for something to attack though on my posts - why is that ?

Kakistocracy says

You clearly know nothing.
Peterson is not on the right, not religious, and not a fan of Donald Trump. He’s his own thing, something new under the sun. People who just want to crassly stereotype everyone into a pre-arranged category are stupid. Oddly, these people are the same ones who somehow believe themselves the champions of people who are routinely stereotyped. It’s kind of hilarious, and sad. But doesn’t humor come from a place of recognition that the human condition is sort of tragic?

Anyway, you should do your own research instead of just waiting for Maddow to tell you what you think.

Kakistocracy says

@Quigley - stop the personal attacks and I will stop flagging your comments

Lolz!!!! So kak literally conflates criticisms of his lack of an argument as personal attacks while also literally doing nothing but personally attacking others... all while spamming articles and making exactly zero points, defending zero points.

Just amazing to watch this level of delusion.

He isn't on the right, then where is he ?

Never mentioned Trump.

People who just want to crassly stereotype everyone into a pre-arranged category are stupid - you mean like the ones categorizing the left, gays, SJWs etc. or is that smart categorizing not done crassly?

Never ever watched Maddow - what am I missing

JP is awesome. He’s helping lots of young men and women get their life together.

Guaranteed left will always hate him, they hate responsibility and normal.
