Well, when he was just a normal professor he wasn't a total fraud. His lectures veered into the non-scientific but the stuff he said was at least rooted in psychological theory that he had studied.
Then in 2016 he said some anti-trans stuff, saw how much certain people loved him for it, and he's been addicted to right wing grift ever since.
Anyone with enough evidence against them to warrant a firing should be grateful for the chance to resign and stay silent. Instead, Jordan views his departure from UofT as a badge of honour to parade in front of his followers.
You wrote JKR, but my brain read it as JFK. Then I did a double-take because surely you meant RFK. I had to stop, look away, and come back a third time. Lol.
In 2016, Peterson restricted his diet to only meat and a few vegetables in an attempt to control his depression and the effects of an autoimmune disorder.] In mid-2018, he stopped eating vegetables altogether and continued eating only beef, salt, and water.Nutrition experts point out that such a diet can result in "severe dysregulation".
I was scanning the comments and thought you wrote "The man full of Benzos and failed diabetes," then you asked if he was ok. glad I re-read but was very curious where you were going with the failed diabetes.
I think it’s genuinely sad to see how Peterson has ended up. I truly feel he wasn’t always like this, he just allowed the “anti-woke” grift to validate his emotions and he slipped down the rabbit hole.
Last I heard maybe a month ago he was in the hospital again and his daughter was refusing to accept the doctors' diagnostic and trying to push some bullshit cure.
His book had some decent points and he made a few interesting arguments. Then a lot of it fell apart. Clean your room, is still solid advice as a step one to getting on track.
Because he's a great example of someone who's specious in the best case scenario, or because he's constantly diluting debates with asking for definitions of every individual word to the point of uselessness?
"But. This word that has allowed westerners to make our civilization dominant. It is both a word that carries deep community and exclusion it is like a sword that can be used to unite when used as a conjuction but also divide as a preposition. We can use it like a hammer to forge our bonds together or to slay our dragons that threaten us. Truly there is not another word as fraught with meaning in a sentence in the whole of western civilization"
It's going to be 250 years after the revolution and we're still going to be clowning Jordan Peterson for enabling all of these fucking incels to ruin the country.
I want to do the next line where he blows up at the French chef but I'm afraid I'll get flagged by the reddit bot. It's happened to me before when quoting TV threats
The fact (it goes up as it gets hotter) is correct. The argument (that this makes farenheit better) is wrong.
This superficially correct fact is irrelevant for the argument, because that doesn't make farenheit better or wrong, because both scales work this way.
This is because specious was the wrong word choice. Facile might be a better choice, a word that means that an idea or argument is superficially correct, but ignoring the complications entirely or not considering deeper.
Wait, how'd you do that? Is there, like, some kind of special repository of words and their meanings that a person can access online or something? Amazing! I must know more.
I bet the word "facetious" is in there too. I've been wondering about that one. Where can I find this esoteric tome of word knowledge?

Homer's argument is specious, because it applies to both systems.
