This regressive and resentful ideology must be exposed, confronted, and stopped.

I feel bad for my old Sociology tutor: she's big on critical thinking and taught us for every 'pro' we found in a theory, we had to come up with a 'con' (this included feminist theory!)

[@gregoryb3793]

@Username [Redacted] When I studied sociology (from 2005-09), I was fortunate enough to have professors who sought to educate rather than indoctrinate. Concepts like white privilege and mordern patriarchy where certainly brought up, but they were taught as being a potential way of viewing things rather than as fact. Intersectionality in particular was explained by my profs as being a fringe, radical theory that none of them expected would pick up steam due to it's inherently divisive nature and similarity to Marxism. It has been shocking and terrifying for me to see such a concept become so dominant so quickly.

If you accept the whole postmodern "subjective truth", "lived experience" etc then the whole point of peer review and academic quality is basically negated (I suspect that the concept of "academic quality" is probably a "partiarchal white imperialist power claim" anyway).

[@skinnysnorlax1876]

@@jrd33 fun fact, "lived experiences" is a term that was appropriated by social justice activists. It is in fact a very real, legitimate branch of research, wherein the researcher will identify commonalities among a group, and note similar patterns over a period of time. It's used to get more specific than normal statistics. For instance, I first heard of it from Karlyn Borysenko, a psychologist whose focus is on building and maintaining strong groups within businesses, and who used such techniques to better understand particular jobs or workplaces, and the "lived experiences" of those in said fields. Just another thing social justice is trying to ruin, lol

[@ralfm7989]

It doesn't need to follow scientific method. It's power is in exposing the path social sciences are going and provides academia the mirror it needs to rectify their wholly unacademic/disingenuous approach that is laced with ideology. This is for all the quality work that has preceded and is in danger of being devalued.

[@theespatier4456]

ralf m If it’s not scientific, nothing was proven, friendo. For instance, how do you draw the conclusion that “grievance studies” journals will only publish progressive stuff if you never attempted submitting conservative stuff? And why do they single out “grievance studies” when you can defraud peers in any area?

[@ralfm7989]

By having their work accepted and even published, they've proven everything there needs to be proven. Anyone who is sincere and neutral in observation will concur that things have been going awry for a while now. I've been a green voter for 30 years, so if anything I lean towards supporting leftist agenda, but misusing academic research to support an agenda, is plain wrong. As to your specific point: try that with engineering and come back to me. The whole concept of grievance studies is not the advance of knowledge, but the academic support of a particular agenda which invariably undermines the search for truth. How can you possibly find the path towards truth if you've already determined the road you're taking?

@@theespatier4456 Something tells me you have a personal animus against Boghossian et al as a result your own ideological alignments. :) You have seemingly trolled every thread on this comment section which supported what they did.

Moreover, you are wrong. The study done by Boghossian et al followed the criteria of the scientific method (albeit loosely). They formulated a hypotheses (via induction) based on observations; conducted experimental and measurement-based testing of deductions drawn from the hypotheses; and refined (or eliminated) elements of their hypotheses based on the experimental findings.

[@PaulRoneClarke]

Helen's defense of her ideas - which insomuch as they disconnect Marxism and post modernism, runs somewhat contrary to JP's oft related ideas were solid and very much food for thought. It was an excellent section. JP interrogates these ideas thoroughly with Helen and this is an excellent part of the meeting IMO. About 15 years ago I gave a series of Ph.D defense interviews with my mentor and the academic board. This feels very much like that. Really rigorous. Pointing out things the members of the board might not have considered, being questioned on those, and answering factually. No fluff. Citation, sources and logic laid out. I'm not saying she is right. I'm saying she is very good and probably should consider getting her Ph.D. She might be right of course - Not my field, I just thoroughly enjoyed the conversation - it was new incite for me. A grown up conversation where people are, in real time, prepared to reconsider views they have held and expressed in the past. This is exactly what academia should be about. Well done everyone involved.

[@DaveZ150]

The bit on post modernism and Marxism stood out to me also and I'm really glad she spoke to it. I like Peterson but I think conflating this social justice phenomenon with Marxism, constantly as Peterson does, is very problematic. If it was accurate, that's fine, but I don't believe it is. Whether Peterson intends to or not, he is empowering conservatism in the US. I don't have a problem with that in general, but 'Marxism' stands for deep ideological differences on economics when we debate politics in the US. He's also discrediting universal health care imo. Or I should say, he's fueling right-wing propaganda that discredits the left with anti-Marxist propaganda, and has been doing so for decades. Any debate on affordable health care is met with arguments about Stalin and genocide. Peterson is fond of drawing this correlation also, evoking genocide, when debating gender studies and the rest. It's nonsense really. We're not headed towards communism. We're seeing a threat to free speech under the law but not a threat to the democratic process. Conservatives threaten freedom also with their ideological extremes. We have to be diligent to protect the separation of church and state against conservatism. The ACLU has a page on their website devoted to active 'Religious Freedom' legislation, designed to give employers, landlords and business owners the right to discriminate on religious grounds. The right-wing in the US can be just as delusional as the left-wing, any debate against their extremes is also defined as intolerance and hate in their echo chamber. We have a healthy enough democracy to challenge both threats coming from the left and right imo. 'Marxism' is irrelevant, at least to the extent Peterson repeats it. Calling the right 'Fascist' and the left 'Marxist' is really the same problem, two sides of the same coin. Part of what Peterson is challenging so well. False claims and meaningless generalizations about millions of people with no basis in fact or reason, making his fear mongering about genocide very hypocritical imo. I've also heard him speak favorably about Canada's socialist health care system, I don't think he's ideologically in line with Republicans in the US. I think he should make more effort to emphasize that his critiques are against identity politics only, not economics.

[@useodyseeorbitchute9450]

To be honest she has a valid point - and I'm happy someone finally pointed it out, as in prof. Peterson lectures this nuance usually slips: 1) Marxism assumes existence of objective reality and does not give much attention to culture as treats it as product of underlying economic structure (those two points are even more or less reasonable) or points out existence of some utopian, socialist future and class struggle (this is the tricky part ;) ). 2) Postmodernism - undermines any claim of existence of any objective reality and is all matter of narrative. The thing is that the ideology is at best a mixture of those two and either calling it as "Marxism" or as "postmodernism" may be considered as imprecise or even misleading.

[@valeriavagapova]

@@DaveZ150 , Standardowy Login, Agree so much! Peterson's love of plugging in this Marxism thing everywhere always rubbed me the the wrong way, and I'm totally delighted to finally see someone confront it and point out the flaws in his narrative in such a direct and educated way.

31:00. Engineering is not free from this kind of thinking! The field of "environmental engineering" is a HUGE money-maker for university engineering departments and companies. It's vulnerable to group-think and bias because there is NOT a binary test for success/influence when it comes to a lot of these environmental studies (the example for the structural field being: 0 - bridge stand, 1 - bridge fails). This leaves the field open to politics, data manipulation to fit predetermined conclusions, and departure from reality. I have experienced it first-hand, and was involved in writing a grant/pitch which I considered borderline fraudulent (but that didn't bother the tenure-track professors who were so desperate to publish and bring in funding that it warped their behavior!). I have a master's degree in engineering and can tell you, the first red flag I encounter is when someone say the empty buzzword "sustainability."

[@bensmith8240]

@@bannerlad01 I agree. It is a legitimate field of study. However, it's the most easily corrupted because many aspects are dependent on governmental mandate. If the EPA suddenly decides that "X" is now considered a toxic substance, tons of research grant money will suddenly be available to academics. It was this way with coal-ash for decades, and spawned tons of half-baked research. As for an example, here is one of my papers. It's basically academic trash, but my professor demanded that I publish it, so there ya go. "Pathologic Interpretation of Loading and Cracking Process of SCARC Specimens Using Fiber Bragg Gratings", proceedings of Geo-Hubei 2014 International Conference on Sustainable Civil Infrastructure. I was righ in the thick of it, and you are naive on the subject of journal acceptance. It's a major pay-to-play scam in some cases (especially internationally, ESPECIALLY in China). Your example of "feminist glaciology" is the extreme example. These are the papers that get the headlines, but the real problem is the pursuit of the "least publishable increment" in pursuit of tenure. The professors do all they can to fly under the radar and pad their resumes at the expense of taxpayer dollars.

[@bensmith8240]

​@@bannerlad01 It's not disingenuous at all. They appoint boards all the time, which are chaired by academics and industrialists with their own sets of incentives, who are listening to testimony from third parties, and it all becomes exceptionally political. I don't trust it at all. I'm just saying that the the environmental side of engineering has a larger incentive structure to produce junk studies because of this.
