I just watched that now. I don't know anything about the guy but that was a weird interview. I didn't know much more about him after it either, because the interviewer has some weird agenda and while he gives these very well-thought out answers she just throws non sequiturs at him. He seems to know what he's talking about and can back it up whereas the interviewer is just throwing memes around. She refused to pick up on what he was saying, and came out with some gems like "who cares about the reasons?" Market forces prevail, that's all.pedros wrote:Interesting backlash against the 'snowflake' generation interview. It's painful on the interviewer at times.

I agree with all his arguments here.
It's hard not to, for example in the case where he was against legislation forcing people to address trans-people as Zie/Zim, Tey,Ter, or whatever the fuck they were insisting on. What about latin languages, do they need to reclassify/add noun genders? The whole business is asinine, and clearly a cultural-power grab.
But anyone who knows anything about reason, logic and philosophy should know that logic is not enough to describe the whole (hint: Gödel), even if you have the complete picture, which is basically never.
I wouldn't want Peterson married to my daughter, or looking after my kids.

Post-Interview Analysis with Dr. Peterson. He despicably and indefensibly cites the works of Carl Jung in his analysis of Cathy Newman.
Jordan Peterson is too cowardly and timid to confront antisemitic heckler!

Carl Jung was a student and later a collaborator with Freud no?
Freud seemed to be abit of a womanizer and liked nothing better than snorting the old Columbian marching powder up his hooter. Should we dismiss all that he has had to say as well?

You are a special kind of stupid if you think accusing a clinical psychologist of being influenced by Carl Jung proves your SJW Neo Marxist point. You're one of those post modernists who thinks mathematics is racist, right?
Carl Jung was a big believer in Aryan mysticism and other ridiculous lies at the beginning of the 20th century. He slept with one of his patients which is completely unethical and unacceptable. Most of his ideas are unscientific and have never been empirically verified. Freud has likewise been discredited and many psychologists believe that he held the field back by many decades.Mr. Bungle wrote:You are a special kind of stupid if you think accusing a clinical psychologist of being influenced by Carl Jung proves your SJW Neo Marxist point.

Freud was a racist and he kept a cartoon on his desk of an anthropomorphic lion looking at its timepiece and muttering, 'It's noon and there are no Negroes for me to eat'
Freud referred to his patients as 'Negroes' and considered himself to be the lion.
I voted for Trump and I generally vote libertarian even though I disagree with the libertarian worldview. So I am not some 'SJW,' rather someone who is sickened by the ideas of Dr. Peterson.

Many of these brilliant 20th century thinkers have been debunked as less than savory characters at this stage. It doesn't really matter, as their message had a wider scope than any of that fussy nit-picking nonsense that is prevalent these days could ever deal with. Harold, you' make me laugh. The most overtly racist poster ever, who constantly whines about racism. How?

Hey Harold, are you Jewish?
If so, can you tell me what 'meschunginah' means and what on earth is the point of Woody Allen?
I thank you in advance. Happy Pickled Herring sandwich.

Ontario PC president steps down amid purge of Patrick Brown loyalists from top posts
Maclean's magazine published allegations of sexual assault levied at Rick Dykstra while he was an MP

■ Ontario PCs face a fork in the road as they look for Patrick Brown's replacement
The fallout from Patrick Brown's resignation last week continues to roil Ontario's Progressive Conservatives as members wage an internal civil war over the future of the party and Brown loyalists are ousted.
Rick Dykstra stepped down as PC president Sunday evening, saying he was taking "a step back" as the party moves to "coalesce" around a new leader
"After two years in this position, I know the party is prepared to take on the hard work necessary to fight this election," he said in a statement.
Several hours after Dykstra posted his statement to Twitter, Maclean's magazine published a story alleging he had sexually assaulted a parliamentary staffer in Ottawa when he was an MP in 2014.
The report says Ottawa police investigated the complaint. Contacted by phone Monday morning, a police spokesperson said the force could not comment on the Maclean's report because no charges were filed.
The allegations have not been proven in court. Dykstra made no mention of the allegations in his public statement.
■Could the Patrick Brown debacle birth another Canadian political dynasty?
■What did the Ontario PCs know? And when did they know it?
Interim PC Leader Vic Fedeli said he was "shocked and disgusted" when he learned of the allegations.
"There is no place for this type of alleged behaviour in our party, in politics or in society as a whole," Fedeli said in a statement.
"The Ontario PC Party will move forward with a new president."
Dykstra has been replaced by Jag Badwal, a real estate agent and campaign strategist who was previously the party's vice-president.
Dykstra's resignation comes after Alykhan Velshi, chief of staff under Brown, who remains in the post under Fedeli, sent a memo to caucus, current candidates and staff outlining changes in personnel at the party. A copy of the memo was obtained by CBC Toronto.
Executive director Bob Stanley — among the most senior operatives for the PCs and a noted Brown backer — has been fired.
Stanley oversaw a deeply troubled riding nomination process last year, which saw several riding association executives quit in protest that the process had been "rigged" by Brown and his inner circle. There was public criticism of Brown's leadership from senior party members after candidates were chosen.
Brown's deputy chiefs of staff, Tamara Macgregor and Rebecca Thompson, have been assigned to different roles and their former positions abolished. Thompson, a communications specialist, formerly worked for former minister of foreign affairs John Baird when he was transport minister. Brown brought her in from Ottawa to hone the party's message heading into an election year.
According to the memo, Thompson will be on the PCs leadership election organizing committee, the group responsible for drafting a framework for a leadership race.
The party has also eliminated the advisory position held by Garfield Dunlop, who previously held Brown's seat in the riding of Simcoe North but resigned in 2015 so that Brown could hold a seat in the Legislature.
Also noteworthy is the return of Nick Bergamini, a former spokesperson for Brown who resigned last week shortly after CTV published allegations of sexual misconduct levied at Brown by two women, dating from his time as an MP in Barrie, Ont. Bergamini will be the party's director of communications.
Velshi told party members that Fedeli, who plans his own run at the leadership, was not dictating the changes.
"I want to be very clear that these decisions followed recommendations I made to the Leader when he asked me to become his chief of staff on Friday evening," Velshi wrote in the memo.

'We must all have a say'
News of the shuffling of top party players comes as the PCs try to contain another internal clash over whether to hold an open leadership race in the coming months or go into the June 7 provincial election with Fedeli as leader. Fedeli was chosen as interim leader at a snap meeting of the 28 caucus members on Friday morning.
Some MPPs who spoke to CBC Toronto last week said that a leadership contest would only distract members from the campaign to defeat Ontario Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne. Just hours after Fedeli was chosen, the party's executive committee opted to hold a leadership race.
The move was met with cautious optimism by those who favour an open contest, such as dozens of current PC candidates, including Caroline Mulroney, whose name has been floated as a possible leadership contender.
In an email sent out to party members, the president of the Eglinton-Lawrence riding association in Toronto urged the party to stick to its decision to initiate a fair and open leadership race.
"The Ontario PC Party is not made up of 28 people. It is made up of over 200,000 people," said Clare Schulte-Albert. "This is a democracy, and we must all have a say in who we vote as our leader."
Schulte-Albert said she has started a petition urging the executive committee to reaffirm its earlier decision.
On Sunday afternoon, the PC campaign chair and longtime friend of Brown, Walied Soliman, posted a tweet saying "while we have been thrust into picking a new leader, I cannot stress enough that we should not change course," referring to the strategy Brown and his team have put in place.
"I urge everyone to stay positive and to stay focused. This is not the time for pettiness and winners and losers," Soliman wrote.
Also Sunday, Toronto Mayor John Tory, who is a former PC leader, confirmed he will not be running for the party leadership.
"I have a job here that's keeping me fully occupied and there is so much to do here in the City of Toronto," he tweeted.

An earlier version of this story said Rick Dystra resigned his position as PC party president after Maclean's published the article containing allegations against him. In fact, Dykstra resigned several hours before the article was posted.

An earlier version of this story said Rebecca Thompson worked for former minister of foreign affairs John Baird under then-prime minister Stephen Harper. In fact, Thompson worked for Baird when he was the transport minister.

Off the rails in PP again, as usual.Antisemtism is common in his work. In 2017, I had the misfortune of reading Solzhenitsyn's "In the First Circle" and in this crude novel there are three Jewish characters and all three are portrayed as communist, cosmopolitan, and defending the ideals of revolution.
this has nothing to do with the original post, and anyway you can't prove someone guilty by association. Peterson is a heavy duty psychology prof, and it is amusing to see him wading into the shallows.Antisemtism is common in his work.

He is trying to come to the defense of common sense, which seems to be MIA these days. Alas, so far he is a voice crying in the wilderness. I went to a conference at the uni last year where he teaches, and
the ID badges they gave us had three spaces, and the instruction, please choose which pronoun you want to be identified by. I asked the young Irish chap to explain, he referred to the debate over Bill C-16 in
which Peterson was involved that month. Say no more, I said, say no more!
Last week, the conservative party in Ontario lost its leader, knocked out by the MeToo movement. On it goes...

Just watched the whole thing - he is fascinating! The interviewer definitely is trying to twist his words while he is making a lot of sense. She is obviously not even speaking on the same level as him and certainly not listening. Just like Harold who simplifies the roles and values of the historical figures he has mentioned

Such is the state of play in the social engineering experiment that is Canada. I shudder to think of what it will be like by the time Justin is done with it. I expect his only useful policy will be legalizing weed.
If you like this guy, check out a female professor called Janice Fiamengo. She trashes current feminism and says things that would get a man lynched before the kangaroo court could find him guilty of something, anything.
