Jordan Peterson LOVES Pretending He's Not Political

Jordan is completely apolitical. Just because his views on actual biology line up with the right doesn’t make him a right winger. That’s like saying because I think immigrants should be allowed in the us and gay people should have marriage rights that I’m a liberal. I agree with some liberal ideas and some right wing ideas. Politics means nothing to me. I judge each situation or issue on the issue. Not on some politic bs

[@mycatsaliberal3848]

And Alex Jones is completely sane. It would be more accurate to call him a performance artist

[@jamaicanification]

I live in Canada and literally graduated from University of Toronto where Peterson's claim to fame comes from a year after the controversy over him erupted. He at first might have had a point on free speech but the problem was his public career was built on a fallacy. He conflated speech codes at uft with Trudeau's bill expanding rights under the criminal code for trans people federally. They were not directly related but he made them to be for his narrative.

[@RetiredInThailand]

JANHOI MCCALLUM exactly!!! He conflated the university's workplace policies as criminal law. I too live and work in Toronto, and fall under the exact same workplace guidelines. There are guidelines that tell me what the company considers discrimination and harassment, which is their right to do. There are also guidelines for health and safety, handing company and client data, cyber security practices, ethical business practices ... I need to take a refresher course on these guidelines every year, and except for certain few unethical business practices, I will not be subject to criminal charges for violating any of them. I can be fired for violations, but that's pretty standard.

[@kevinshamrok]

@@RetiredInThailand lets not forget the fact that he tried to use cases where people have been charged with harassment as proof regarding his bullshit, when in fact it had to do with actual harassment and not misgendering

[@GaryParris]

It's been exaggerated by Peterson from the beginning regardless as has been born out by the facts that emerged any way, he equated a thought experiment with misinformation about any reality of his line of thought to actually happening as a fact that would happen. Cause and affect! But ignoring facts that no one has ever been convicted of it and that it already existed elsewhere as an amendment that's ever been forced to pay a fine and then jailed for it. He's got more opportunity of being jailed for not paying a parking fine than misusing a pronoun! It's just disingenuous of him to follow that stream of thought and call himself rational thinker.

[@gustav4539]

I like how Jordan sees a big problem with inequality when it comes to men getting women (creating anxiety and desperation leading to destructive behaviour), but doesn't draw the parallell to economic inequality. Serious psychologists take an interest in the social and psychological consequence of extreme wealth inequality, but not Jordan. He could study his fan base to see what happens when people feel they're losing social status.

[@derekaayres]

LOL

[@simongiles9749]

Azure Dystopia This is a very good example of how Peterson takes mythic symbolism and Jungian archetypes and gets things bass-ackward. Because (some) mythologies represent nature or creative principles as female and ordering principles as male, Peterson seems to take that to mean that female means chaos and to be male means to be the source of order. Not only do not all mythologies actually work that way or that neatly, rather than consider why that should be so all he does is assume that it reveals some underlying truth of existence. Which is an odd thing to do. Edited for typos.

[@Winstonclawfinger]

Old JP is a walking example of a shitty therapist. To involved with himself, to help others. As a person with PTSD and have been through many therapists, many are ego driven manipulators who tout old outdated techniques. I have never heard JP say the words EMDR or speak of underlying trauma behind depression, anxiety, PTSD etc. He gives the equivalent of the old pull your self up by your boot straps therapy teqniques. I can personally attest that EMDR saved my life, and therapists such as him made my symptoms worse not better. I am passionate about this because I feel he does a disservice to those seeking therapy and not able to admit they have issues. Basically he is giving backrubs to people who need their appendix removed.

[@gustav4539]

Btw, he said that white privilege isn't real. He might have to pay more attention to what happens in society. There are literally studies on this (banking, housing, judicial system, in pop culture etc.).

[@NotShowingOff]

Gustav he said “majority privilege” was real. So in the case of Europe and North America, it is white privilege. Not 100% on the source.

[@jag5014]

IP Freely California has a Hispanic majority yet they don't enjoy majority privilege. Even if the White population dipped below 50% nationwide, they'd still hold disproportionate power and privilege. It's a similar dynamic in Latin America and other regions with a long history of colonialism/racial oppression imposed by a White authority.

[@gustav4539]

IP Freely Ok. Denying that would be willfully ignorant. I bet his followers don't make that distinction though. And I'm certain I heard Rubin say that there is no systemic racism in the US, because there are no actual racial laws. He then said that black people have a socioeconomic disadvantage, revealing that he probably doesn't know what the word systemic means. It's just that everything these guys say seem very tendentious. They start with a conclusion they know is favored by a certain segment, and kind of just make sloppy arguments to get there.

[@NotShowingOff]

Eagle Knight the reason why this is the case is because it is whites and people of color. People of color have several different ethnic backgrounds. It’s true there are relics from f colonialism in many countries. But in the USA and Canada, Europe and even South America race is also in flux. That’s why even though whites may not be the literal majority, they still represent the dominant ethnicity because you can’t put all ppl of color under one origin.

Last time I looked at JBPs twitter he had tweeted a link to a story about a guy who made some inappropriate comments to his coworker, was told to apologize when it was brought to his boss, refused and "might face some consequences" as a result of that refusal. He of course claimed that this breach of office CoC and extremely light reprimand in the form of being told to apologize was Maoism.

[@tom_curtis]

(5:25) "This should not have made it past peer review." It didn't. It was published in a book, and hence is not peer reviewed in the normal sense of the term. Crucially, the actual peer reviewed papers by Peterson are nearly all about the "big five personality traits", and are a technical and boring as that implies. The stuff he is famous for as an internet guru, on the other hand, does not make an appearance in his academic papers. No surprise, of course, for it consists in reactionary politics justified by mysticism, and supported by off the cuff statements about "facts" that he typically gets wrong.

[@Bhez7]

But he's a licensed clinical psychologist and even taught at Harvard for a few years so therefore everything he talks about must be empirical and supported by evidence. He even says so and that's really all you need right?

The Judgemental Cat No, but it also means that later publications can point out errors or methodological problems on published work. Something that the cult of Peterson don't seem to understand.

Jordan Peterson claims 10% of the population have an IQ score of below 83. Peterson also claims that this means that 10% of the population are therefore unemployable. He bases this on the fact that the US Military will not accept anyone with an IQ score below 83. Jordan Peterson cites what He calls The Industrial organizational intelligence literature and utilizes this in order to try to construct a wider claim that IQ, being a measure of a persons ability for Abstract thought, is a sufficient basis as a general measure on which He purports to base such an assertion, as a fact. He therefore uses this maneuver of taking this specific literature as sufficient for constituting a general claim. so He is therefore trying to claim that, while His use of specific Literature can on the one hand be deemed factual, the scientific literature on climate change should be viewed as insufficient for making similar factual claims on the other hand. if you put together the clues from His own utterances, you can see there is a connection between Petersons use of Industrial organizational intelligence literature, it is allied with His specific example of the US Military as a baseline Industry. this indicates that Peterson may well be talking from a perspective of a Military based Industry as a measure of the Necessary requirements for employability of the population in general. so Peterson is extrapolating out from these specifics into making a wider more general claim about who and how many of the people in society might be deemed unemployable. He also regularly links Race with IQ and by using this Race component Peterson can get away with providing himself sufficient cover for fending off being criticized for making any such direct connections. His connections are left indirect. so if we begin to list out some of Petersons positions based on His own statements, we quickly end up with 1: Peterson is Pro Industry when it comes to Science and IQ literature 2: Peterson is Pro corporate when it comes to IQ literature 3: Peterson is Pro Male when it comes to the Workplace 4: Peterson is Anti corporate when it comes to Education 5: Peterson is Anti Science when it comes to Climate Science 6: Peterson is Suspicious of Female roles in the workplace 7: Peterson is Not Suspicious of Female roles in Education 8: Peterson is accepting of Race as a meaningful differentiator when it comes to IQ 9: Peterson claims that 10% of the population are unemployable there are other positions but this is sufficient for now. you can generally rely on Peterson to find a left wing scapegoat for the ills of society even though He seems unable to understand that what He is often attacking is a center right Neo Liberalism. and you can generally rely on him for pandering to populism and conspiracy theories in order to expand his audience even while castigating climate science as being unscientific. finally here is one video of someone with an IQ score of 84 and is only just employable by his standards. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmK2l2auaLiYes0 Peterson represents Neuro Sciences gambit in gaining more respectability within the social sciences as part of the program of corporate powers strangle hold on the Education system which includes the eradication of critical theory. and now paradoxically the right wing are beginning to turn away from Peterson because I assume they see Him criticizing some of the extremism. they are doing this by starting to try to claim Peterson is a Theosophist.

[@tarafitzgerald3947]

I would be impressed by this if I didn't know anything about statistics. Data isn't racist but the interpretation of numbers sure the hell can be. Mean differences have little to no predictive value and can tell us nothing about causality. An introductory statistics class would have beat this into your head. I'm assuming you never took one. All you are doing is parroting talking points used by pseudo intellectuals like Sam Harris. You are putting too much faith into one of the weakest forms of statistical analysis. If you had a cursory understanding of data analysis, you would never do this.

[@tarafitzgerald3947]

*These differences are in the anthropological record and modern scientific peer reviewed literature....* Evidence that you have no clue what you are talking about. I never claimed these differences didn't exist. My point was that these differences are meaningless because they are completely useless. They show no causation and they lack predictive value. Also, your Aboriginal example is dumb. Invention depends on necessity. It has fuck all to do with cognitive differences in racial groups. Environmental pressure dictates necessity. Want to test it? Camp out in the Bush with a scientific calculator. Write back and tell me how well calculus saved your ass in the wild.

[@tarafitzgerald3947]

Harry Hhhhjtfhn I know you are confused but it has nothing to do with my point. Nothing I stated is contradictory. Mean differences in population data do not provide any evidence for causality in terms of physical disposition or cognitive ability. Like I stated above, an introductory course in statistics would have taught you why that is the case. Population data is none experimental. There are no controls and too many degrees of freedom. There are no sound inferences that can be made from these data. Aboriginal people had no need for conquest or invasion from other neighboring cultures throughout most of their history, unlike Europeans and Asians. This made the necessity to invent obsolete. An objective point of view and the a ability to critically think should make this point pretty fucking obvious.

[@tarafitzgerald3947]

Harry Hhhhjtfhn Aboriginal people live in an isolated area that is mostly land locked. This is true for areas of Africa, North America, and Papua new Guinea. Sure, they fought each other but they never came in contact with foreign invaders until European settlers came and pushed them off their land. Europe and Asia have a different history because they were surrounded by different empires. They fought but they also traded. This is significant because they were able to experience different cultures, taking ideas and inventions that would improve livelihood. Multiculturalism actually pushes society forward toward progress. It's demonstrable throughout history. Isolated areas lag behind while diverse areas flourish. In order to make a biological argument supporting racial differences you need a structure for evolution to work on. "The brain" is not specific enough. An area of cortex, or a specific allele must be verified for your assertion to be considered more than a mere speculation.You must show that these cognitive differences are due to evolutionary influences and this fact can be demonstrated by showing differences in brain organization. To my knowledge, there is no such area of cortex. If I had a brain scan of a white person and a black person I wouldn't be able to know the race of the individual simply by looking at the scan. IQ is a reliable measure for certain aspects of psychology. For neuropsychologists, it can assess the extent of a brain injury. For social psychologists, it can be used as a preliminary measure before assigning subjects to treatment groups. However it loses all value when it is looked at as an average for a population. There are too many variables that are not accounted for. This is hugely problematic if you want to base a theory on the data. This is why Murray got the criticism he did for it. It's a speculation based on a weak statistical measure. All in all, it's a silly, boring statistic that only seems to interest racists.

[@m3mn0nYT]

He literally cried about "the end of individualIsm" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6elnmOQisuYbas ) LMAO. Good point, there are far more serious problems in the world.

[@bpdmf2798]

Then what does he think he's being other than political when he's criticizing and when he talks about "the left" "marxists" "postmodernists" and other groups he lumps together? Does he think being political is only talking about specific people/policies? I would really like to hear his criticisms of the right (not from him though, maybe something he wrote because his voice is like nails on a chalkboard, it's not just high pitched but it is so shaky like your voice gets when you are about to cry or are holding back a powerful emotion) and what he thinks about those who kill for money/resources directly and indirectly in capital systems. They are just as egregious as the marxists killing for ideology or the religious who kill for fairy tales they really like. I think he very much misses the point that people kill, ideologies don't. For a clinical psychologist I think it is kind of ironic that he attributes things done by everybody all through history and today to certain ideologies as if getting rid of the ideas that the horrendous acts will cease. People just need an excuse and sometimes they don't need even that or they just justify it later or fuck it, they never even care if it is justifiable.

[@johngawrylash7732]

I'm new to the Majority Report but I enjoy your videos. I am familiar with Jordan and without anybody elses influence on my opinion, I felt that he clearly has a Right Wing bias. Here's my biggest take away. He claims that the Right have decided what is too far right but the left haven't decided what is too far left. Yes they have. It just isn't where the Right want it to be. I think that society will decide what is too far left or right.

[@Tyler-cm6vk]

it is also a flawed opinion because this idea makes us stop society from progressing and improving.

[@GrantLeeEdwards]

Good point. Sounds like you’re on the right track. JP is a maniac. TMR is best in class. In case any of this is news to you: Hasanbi has some really good deep-dive takes on JP. He & Vaush each have their own style, but their progressive views align closely w/ Sam & TMR (including Matt Leche, whose voice is increasingly a key part of the show). Michael was so much fun to watch. Hilarious & cool, but serious & kind, too. Definitely check out more of his old videos. “Why wouldn’t you? Don’t be foolish.” ;)

[@markpozsar5785]

Issue is, that JP and the rest of the cookie cutter conservatives say that a living wage, healthcare and education that's available for everyone, progressive taxation, and trying to alleviate inequalities in society are too far left. They are not, every comparable Western (or even non-Western) country have those. They are dishonest and purposefully gaslight on those issues. You are not a postmodern Marxist (btw what an oxymoron by this "intelectual") if you want these things. They say you are, they say you are the enemy.

[@tijtij]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Jordan Peterson. His analyses are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of clinical psychology most articulations will go over a typical listener’s head. There’s also the professor’s anti-nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his persona- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Christian literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these observations, to realise that they’re not just stories- they say something deep about YOURSELF. As a consequence POSTMODERNISTS and NEO MARXISTS truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the meaning behind Peterson’s existential catchphrase “Clean up your room,” which itself is a cryptic reference to the prophetic tradition. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Carl Jung’s genius wit lives on through this shining beacon of rationalism. What fools.. how I pity them. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Pinocchio tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel you misguided LEFTIST IDEOLOGUE

He has not practised psychology for about 5 years. Just too busy promoting his nonsense on You Tube making more dough than by teaching and counselling where you have to actually work!. The only reason he keeps the license and membership in the College of Psychologists is so he can legally call himself a "Psychologist". Then, for some odd reason people think he is therefore an expert in everything, even politics, and of course transgenderism.

[@johnnysalter7072]

Is Peterson nuts or evil. Our both. The thing that bothers me most about Peterson is that he can actually convince young men that he is an intellectual. I have not seen 1 subject that he is not an expert on. We had a couple of unbalanced professors when I was in college. A Political Science Pr0f was basically a Marxist and an Economics Prof that appeared to admire Hilter. But we knew they were full of shit and if you kind bragged on them they'd give you an A. The almost terrifying thing about Peterson is that he might have been abler to trick me.

Obviously assuming malevolence doesn't apply to all situations, but in today's landscape of increasingly ascendant right wingers with utterly disingenuous nonsense arguments that are intentionally double-faced (free speech being a great example), it makes ever more sense to assume that anybody arguing from a right wing vein is malevolent.

[@SadisticSenpai61]

I wouldn't be so quick to throw out free speech standards. It's worth noting that Jordan Peterson and his buddies are extremely disingenuous on the topic of free speech. They really mean free speech for themselves and their buddies, not for the ppl they disagree with. So the claim that they're "free speech absolutists" is just nonsense, although that is what they want ppl to think about them. Also, I don't think anyone is really an "absolutist" on the topic of free speech anyway. Everyone agrees that there's reasonable limits that should be placed on free speech (the famous example being shouting "fire" in a crowded theater).

[@dnbjedi]

Tensai55 I don’t know how he limits free speech for people he disagree with... you should elaborate on that. JP isn’t n absolutist with regard to free speech...he doesn’t condone hate speech that is obvious. What JP does that is important is challenge the feverish beliefs of the radical and moderate left. He’s famous because he stood up to what we all wanted to stand up to, an annoying trans person insisting we be forced to accept them because of ‘feelings’. If your hackles don’t raise after being forced to address someone in the way that they wish, despite the bullshit mental illness that is transexuality, nothing more than a glorified attempt to ‘fit in.’ Why do people define themselves by their dangly bits, and what they prefer to fuck?
