On Wednesday, March 20, the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge sent the following tweet:

Jordan Peterson requested a visiting fellowship at the Faculty of Divinity, and an initial offer has been rescinded after a further review.

— Faculty of Divinity (@CamDivinity) March 20, 2019

Jordan Peterson is an academic and clinical psychologist who has taught at two of North America’s most prestigious research universities (Harvard University and the University of Toronto), and whose academic work is prominent, widely-cited, and non-controversial in his field (see a list of his research publications here). His courageous and articulate defense of free speech, of our political, cultural and religious inheritance, of unpopular but incontestable truths of science—especially biology—and his radical opposition to identity politics of any kind, including that of both Right and Left, have made him an iconic figure. But what is by far the most significant thing about Peterson is that he reaches vast numbers of young people, often through Biblical stories and ancient myths, with perennial truths—of freedom, responsibility, the dignity of the individual, the transcendence of beauty and suffering and, above all, the liberating nature of Truth itself.


Cambridge University seems to be pozzing itself into irrelevance.

You mean like illegal aliens who bring down wages


The same type of illegals that were employed by the Trump organization, the god king of so many commenters until the media spotlight caused a red face moment for the organization.

Be nice if someone were to lead by example instead of do what I say and not what I do

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


Really - Then it is not really this by CBOETrader ?

"Tired of picking on Marcus" - https://patrick.net/post/1323347/2019-03-23-tired-of-picking-on-marcus

Kind of leaning to the option I just cited. Both for CBOETrader and several others - quite a few others actually

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

So glad you're ignoring me. I would hate to be the victim of long cut and paste screeds.

Let's not - gave u your 3 minutes of attention today. If I wanted to discuss anything with u, u would not be on ignore.

Nobody really cares if you ignore them or not. But it is pathetic that you respond to people you claim to ignore. Sad.

From the person who told me not too long ago "I am probably the smartest person you know" that is really funny - stupid but funny.


Man, this is why you fail. I said “most educated,” not smartest. I know I’m not the smartest person ever, well above average but no true genius. My only real advantage has always been persistence.

Care to flag any more of my posts personal that aren’t but still destroy your arguments?

@Patrick i suspect Kaki is abusing his flag button. I’m not going to post here if he can just delete anything I post.

Don't think so, Dan was more prone to discuss facts.

JP's big debate with Sam Harris is centered on this subject.


Yeah SH and JP missed each other a bit. They couldn't agree on the concept of reality.

Therefore, does GOD exist? Neither was wrong

The truth is, JP is a pragmatst and very middle of the road.

Exactly.

His arguments against equality defined as "equality of outcome" vs "equality of opportunity" are rock solid.
72   FortWayneAsNancyPelosiHaircut   2019 Apr 9, 5:21pm  

They both pasted long ass copy paste jobs.

I could be wrong though.

Yet again Kak, you attack others PERSONALLY when they attack your ARGUMENT, yet flag the others as personal. Kak needs his flagging rights removed

JP is wrong "because I disagree with him"


JP is a shill who has tapped into the political fervor of the moment and is smart enough to milk it monetarily while the getting is good.

HIs 12 rules is old shit repackaged - and I do not buy into the all of the other shit he uses to keep his followers coming back.

Even if that is true, it does not make him alt-right like Milo.

@Quigley I think he did have a point at least in the latest flag. It was personal.

But he also makes personal comments, so please flag those.

Let's just discuss ideas rather than the people making them.

(You cant)


I did. https://patrick.net/post/1323785/2019-04-09-tales-from-the-right-aka-the-appeal-of-jordon-peterson-soon-to-be-labeled-a-hit-piece

and that concludes the attention you will get from me today.


A copy/paste article is exactly what I'm challenging you NOT to do. Tbc, nowhere in the article does the author suggest an example of a flawed JP assumption. Can YOU point out a single example of bad data or pseudo science?

You cant. You wont. You will flag critiques of your nonsensical posts, then post unrelated 20 thousand word articles.

I legit think kak is a bot, and a poorly programmed at that.

In Obama's day the media would have passed over this story. For example: the only time WaPo started counting the number of lies a president tells is when Trump became president. Here's a suggestion for the left wing media: Why don't you count the lies every president tells and then the public would know they all lie. Occupational hazard.

Most transparent administration ever.
