Bill,

Man but I just actually wanna clear up these presumptions.

Im not a keyboard warrior, nor am I a weak man. I can bench more than you:

:toxx:

I campaign locally for socialist organizations, I cook for meals on wheels as a volunteer, I march against police violence, I spent 1/4 of my 20s living in the desert keeping young african girls in school, Ive worked like a loving slave as a pro chef and support my local union, got a few degrees, speak a few languages, will drink you under a table billy. I can and will prove all these things.

I dont need bigotry to be self actualized. Bigotry is a crutch for the ethically lazy. Get hosed. Idiot.

Fair enough, thanks for answering. When you explain it like that I can see how his stances resonate with you. Certainly liberals and their wokeness was pretty poisonous for a while there, but it's funny because even though we both hate wokeness, we hate it for completely opposite reasons. As a leftists I see their performances as purely selfish and when push comes to shove libs side with fascists and continue to vote for them, almost never actually achieving the things they pretend they want to achieving.

But anyway back to JP. Here's the question I ask every one of his fans and haven't gotten a response yet. I don't even mean a "good" response, I mean it will literally end the conversation instantly and there won't be a response at all. Hopefully you can help me out. Why do you think the alt-right, far-right, outright nazis like him? And I'm not saying you are someone in those groups. I'm also not saying that it's his fault, because supposedly you can't control who your fans are right? But what they you think they see in him that they don't see in anyone else? It's interesting because if I noticed that in a poll that showed the majority of people who prefer strawberry icecream have a goatee, I would want to try and figure out what is it about strawberry icecream that attracts people with goatees. I tend to focus on things like that a lot. If I saw nazis were categorically more interested in iphones I would want to know why.

I'm listening to episode one of the Behind the Bastards about Jordan Peterson and both the host and Cody agreed that Jordo is a "great orator" and I am absolutely floored that anyone who isn't deep into his cult can think that. Every speech and video I've seen of him he talks with no force or passion or any kind of emotion that a normal person would be able to identify with. It's one of the things that baffles me most about him, I don't know what others are seeing that I'm not.

There is an important facet of Jordan Peterson's life that I feel we must all acknowledge in these trying times. He is a tenured professor at the University of Toronto, and, to my knowledge, he was not tenured on his merits as the "intellectual" face of white supremacy. So he must have done something to earn a doctorate and a professorate. I lack the background to judge the quality of his publications myself, but I have been told by multiple sources that his early work is actually quite good. So what was the field of study at which mr. Peterson excelled, and why is it worth bringing up? Because he earned his doctorate for his work on clinical treatment of addiction.

I don't think it's in the best taste to make fun of addicts, no matter how repugnant they are as people. Jordan Peterson, however, literally earned his position and platform for being an authority on the physiological aspects of addiction, and still decided he could just quit benzos cold turkey like it's no big deal. He was better equipped than anyone to avoid spending the previous year going in and out of medical comas and being carted around shady Russian hospitals.

As for counter-programming: again, outside of my area except for the specific topic of trying to correct misinformation. If you have journal access the 2020 version of Lewandowsky and Ecker's 'Debunking Handbook' is going to be released soon, and it has some good advise in there that could be applied to broader counter-programming efforts. If you follow the reference trail from that paper you might eventually find my own undergrad research, which somehow has accidentally gained some amount of societal relevance since 2016 despite being boring and not at all what I wanted to be involved in at the time.

Good news, it's out and it's free.

There's also a story about how he managed to rack up three charges of sexual harassment within his first semester at the UoT and was the only professor who wasn't allowed to close his door during office hours. It provides a valuable contradiction to his position that it is impossible to figure out the rules of a workplace that involves both men and women; somehow none of his colleagues amassed as many reprimands as he did. Sadly, I lost the link, and the Google results for "Jordan Peterson sexual harassment" are not something I have the stomach to dig through.

People say the same about Donald Trump, and I haven't been able to figure that one out, either. My best guess is that some people are impressed by the ability to make just-so assertions without second-guessing yourself.

I am curious about the involvement of the daughter in all these, especially the Soviet magic treatment trip. Again, my insane manager was so into that stuff and he literally looked like a sectoid from X-com 2 and smelled like death. He claimed that he visited a Russian bio-healer that cured him when he was working in Russia. The same guy also paid an online fortune teller, which literally sent him 37 pages long copy-pasted templates for 50 USD a pop while not even checking that the last guy's name still in the "reading".

I mean, going to Russia for treatment while being a rich and famous Canadian citizen is some massive :psyduck:. I literally typed "what the hell happened to Jordan Peterson" on Google and directed to a news article which also directed to the video of daughter declaring his father's health situation in lingerie while calling him Jordan, like, wtf?

Also, lmao at this interview bit:

quote:

"What was your dad like as a parent?

Well, debate was a big part of life. If I wanted to go do something that my parents didn’t necessarily agree with, we’d have to have a deep negotiation about it. I don’t know how abnormal that is. I remember with my first serious boyfriend—I was 15, in grade 10—and he came into the living room, and my parents were both sitting there. They asked him, “Why are you dating our daughter?” And then a whole bunch of followup questions, including “Are you in love with Mikhaila?” Then, to me, “And why do you think this is a good idea?” At the end, they turned to me and said, “Okay, as long as you’ve thought this through, that’s fine.”

Oh awesome. Another one by the same team that is good as a summary with a whole bunch of linking references is 'Beyond Misinformation: Understanding and Coping with the“Post-Truth” Era'. That is less focused on practical advice, rather it's a summary of ways in which we are increasingly hosed and things contributing to why it is so bad. They eventually get to what is almost an admission that the main use of this research is moving from designing better interventions for misinformation to providing evidence such efforts are futile without massive media and internet reform, justifying why that should be considered a political priority.

It's one of the things that baffles me most about him, I don't know what others are seeing that I'm not.

He certainly isn't going for the Obama brand of public speaking that most people might think of when they hear 'great orator', but he is skilled in what I call 'professorly prattle': a kind of waffling on with a bunch of digressions and at least seemingly clever references and sentence structure/vocabulary, in a way that appears to be off-the-cuff and conversational but gets to the point with appropriate timing and without getting too lost in the weeds.

That is its own form of entertainment and very appealing to people who haven't spent much time in academia. Zizek has a similar thing, but obviously filtered through his own weird mannerisms. I used to enjoy Leonard Susskind for basically the same reason even though I have baby tier understanding of theoretical physics. In written form Christopher Hitchens had the same thing going on, and generally with a similar outcome to Peterson where the overall points he is trying to make aren't smart but if you approach it with a sceptical eye you can still find some vaguely stimulating digressions and anecdotes to think about and draw your own conclusions from.

Peterson was definitely paying attention to public speaking trends, used them to develop his own style and reaped the reward of it. A paper he co-authored when still in science mode is "Personality and Language use in Self-narratives'. While the paper itself doesn't seem relevant the use of 'self-narratives' immediately makes me think he was an early adopter of the whole 'storytelling' fad that would soon work its way through the public speaking and business world. His crying schtick probably suggests he was riding the whole "vulnerability is powerful' wave as well. He adds an asmr kind of rhythm, well thought out for a guy making use of YouTube.

I will give him some credit for occasionally being good at responding to the more clueless liberal commentators he went up against in interviews, mainly because they clearly hadn't engaged with his material so much as angry summaries of it with significant amounts of editorialising. They come at him with accusations greatly overestimating his threat or oversimplifying what he has said and he can easily play at being more reasonable and agreeable than them. That could be easily overcome, but many of the most passionate liberal/left wingers barely have the ability to explain their views let alone convincingly advocate for them to audiences that aren't already on board. He maybe took some insight from the 'Compassionate Liberals and Polite Conservatives: Associations of Agreeableness With Political Ideology and Moral Values' article he contributed to, making sure to play at both polite and compassionate even if the implications of what he is saying are not compassionate.

Kind of funny though, that paper almost combines with his own work on personality/intelligence interactions to suggest that conservative political attitudes and values are held by the less intelligent. Maybe that informed the audience he chose to target, assuming he is mainly pursuing a grift rather than being a true crusader for the cause. His choice of audience was certainly informed by Zimbardo's 'Demise of Guys' stuff. Also worth noting: his whole 'chaos dragon' gender stuff is just a straight rip of Camille Paglia.

I have always thought of Jordan Peterson as a sitcom dad acting out the stock TV sitcom plot where he accidentally is catapulted to fame and popularity over one completely unrepeatable, accidental and gimmicky act and everything has to get back to normal by the time the end credits roll.

Jorp was just another misadventure during the period where the combined rightwing grift machine was desperate to find examples of Tumblr Happening In Real Life So The Boomers Will Care. If I recall correctly he was already doing a little self-help side-hustle with his book or something when the Door Gluing Incident happened, and it all just exploded out of control from there.

Appropriate timing for his purposes. Maybe needlessly meandering, but it doesn't seem like he is failing to cover all his points in any given speech–something that is incredibly easy to do if you are in conversational mode and which every ted/toastmasters/thesis defender has to put a lot of work and prep into avoiding. Then again, I'm clearly not one for brevity so am probably a bad judge.

Don't confuse this with compliments though. I don't want to give him credit, but like with Trump it is worth acknowledging that he has some sort of skill in limited areas that might be worth learning from, even if that success is something he mr. magoo-ed himself into purely by accident. Ben Shapiro is the one who is completely worthless and should by rights be an embarrassment his side would want to sweep under the rug.
