Jordan Peterson says Ontario psychologist licence may be suspended over public statements

[AndrewX]

Yep, and these guys keep quoting my posts and reply angrily, meanwhile, they might as well throw hot dogs down a hall way.

They spend most of the day here.

I never had a problem going to a MP and be rejected by one of the girls.

So here's Peterson talking about how guys should stop jerking off and having sex because this is not what god wants. Precious words and golden thoughts for all you Peterson Fanbois.

I think these conspiracy minded defenders of Peterson should head over to the College to find some help. https://cpo.on.ca

If you're part of a professional organization, you either follow their guidelines or leave the organization. But as was said, that doesn't let you grift.

What is Peterson's flawed message here? Pornography in excess is not good for you?

Is that what actually can happen? You can be rejected by a sex worker?

Yes it happened to somebody here. The guy went to see Stella and she didn't want to see him because he was pushy

Jordan Peterson is a grifter.

But the licensing board going after him for his personal opinions is misuse of power.

I missed the part which said "in excess". And even so, it's pretty debatable.

He's just a phenomenon of the new media.

Was he good at capitalizing on his sudden fame from thumbing his nose at the government and university? Yes.
Do I agree with him on everything or as passionately on the things we agree? No.
Is he a grifter? Not really. I don't think all of this was some master scheme. It's a cliche, but "luck is where preparation meets opportunity" works in his case.

Yes he's talking about feeling guilty and not having control over viewing pornography.

His basic message is always about making wise decisions and taking control over your life.

He's not a fan of pornography that's for sure. Thinks it's not good for the people who produce it. The people who star in it or the people who view it.

He believes in the functional intimate relationships bound by vows of mutual celibacy. Thinks that stabilizes our families, community and psyche.

Thinks the less porn the better. Best off to get out there and find a partner.

You'd have to really daft to construe this video is just about masturbating but then he might be too deep for some people.

It's all in what you hear or perceive to hear. Peterson says towards the end "The less porn the better." Paraphrasing he says get out there and find a partner. Now he didn't say everyone must stop watching porn altogether to be healthy. I suspect if one watches porn in moderation without sacrificing one's personal relationships he wouldn't find that a problem.

If you take Peterson out of the conversation, I am of the understanding many psychologists do believe porn can be harmful towards having healthy sexual relationships. It also has a desensitizing effect.

So basically he wants to cancel porn stars?? Fucking woke bullshit nonsense I say!!!

Then at the end he says he's aware that statistics show that the introduction of pornography into a community doesn't raise but lowers rape probability. Says that's a separate discussion.

Now I wasn't aware of that....Interesting.

Ummm....what? So he is advocating for sexless marriages? No wonder he hates pornography. How long can a man jerk off without living his dreams!

Peterson engenders so much hatred from the Left I am not sure they are really trying to listen to him on an objective basis. This seems to based on conservatives embracing his words. Perhaps Peterson started playing into it a bit as well over time. I wouldn't necessarily cite him on the science of climate change, but he might know something about the psychology of angst surrounding the topic.

He espouses traditional values and he seems to be a Christian. Christianity taken without the Church per se isn't a terrible philosophy for well-being. I never heard him say anything challenging the Canadian healthcare system, advocating lowering taxes, outlawing abortion, etc.

On the matter at hand, I don't think the Left is all that keen on porn but probably for different reasons than JP.

I think it might go along with the same theories that prostitution gives awkward young men an outlet.

This is a bit of the jump, but I'm guessing that young male killer in Idaho isn't exactly a hit with the ladies. We'll learn more in the coming months.

This is a good video where he is discussing the issue called climate change.

Does Peterson push crypto and NFTs?

I dont think him espousing traditional values is really that much of a big deal with the left. Infact I think its a pretty unoriginal recommendation. I mean how many conservatives have talked about family values over the last few decades?

I think the problem people on the left have with him is his apparent hate for trans people, his arguments against feminism and him arguing for equality of outcome for incels (while denouncing it for others). People feel he has used this grift to make money.
