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

[mandrill]

I'm curious. Does anyone suspect that some of the progressive members have more than one handle here on TERB?

I've noticed that in the last several months some progressive newcomers have emerged and often they sound exactly like well-known established members. Now that would be a potential ban on MERB and other sites. Here on TERB it's pretty much anything goes.

One might ask why would anyone bother. It's simple. The echo chamber gets bigger and louder.

We have the same debate about you guys. And one of your buddies was indeed outed by the mods a few back with several different handles at once, wherein he would frequently agree with himself and gang tackle anyone he didn't like.

We're pretty sure that you're a one off though, Earp. You have your own.... style.

Frank, what you clearly won't understand or more aptly allow is that I have likely read more links and watched more videos in this thread than most everyone here. I simply have not seen compelling evidence that Peterson has violated COP professionals standards other than the COP says so. If someone can point to some specific standard, I am all ears.

I find Peterson outspoken and political. I'm not always in agreement. However, even if the COP disagreed with his opining on vaccines, mask mandates, etc. you have to ask are the Canadian physician associations sanctioning doctors with similar views. Perhaps, the COP has a firm position on the trans community. Again, all ears.

You can't compel anyone to give credence to your cited references. That's life on TERB.

This is the post below in entire context where you seemed to lock on to me out of all the posters here in support of Peterson. Saying "I just don't know" is a figure of speech that projects magnanimity and openness to hearing different opinions. However, it would be a mistake to consider it ignorance.

Yes, 'I did my own research'. The hallmark of the 'free thinker'.
Just as long as it doesn't include the actual charges, evidence and rules posted by the CPO.

I am very familiar with this type of 'research' here.
And its totally fair to call it willful ignorance if you were given the opportunity to check what the CPO standards are, what they say that Peterson did that broke those standards and and how they decided on what punishment and then you chose not to read those posts. More so when you post 'Certainly haven't seen anything specific' when Mandrill, I and others have posted the specifics.

 

[WyattEarp]

But have your little joke with your buddy, Earp.

mandrill, I hardly know this guy and hardly interact with him other than apparently he's dirty. You're the guy who everything that Frank posts simply because it challenging me. I'm not sure that is really is good for the mandrill brand, but hey its your brand.

Here I have an idea for you. It's kind of out there, but what the heck. Why don't you just respond to dirtyharry that you believe men and women are inherently different and they generally exhibit different emotional and psychological characteristics?

Yes, I read this. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lZxY3I4FzzUAYG6gTQoRkcpqt04ObqEq/view

IMHO, the CPO standards in this case are very weak. First of all, none of these people who complained were JP's clients. I doubt the CPO would care if the Psychologist who was being being sanctioned was a left leaning Psychologist.

For example, if this left leaning Psychologist, appeared on Rosemary Barton Live, and said that, "Trump was a loser", then chances are the CPO wouldn't do anything. IMHO, the CPO is a hypocritical left leaning college.

 

[WyattEarp]

So in other words..... you know more about Psychologist Ethics than the Psychologist Ethics people do. Because you've done your own research.

Good to know.

Yeah, people disagreeing about the COP's actions is kind of the theme of the thread.

 

[mandrill]

Yeah, people disagreeing that the COP is acting fairly is kind of the theme of the thread.

But - let me put this politely - most of us agree that the CPO is the best judge of what ethical rules are appropriate and when they are breached. Because they know more about the field than you. Right?

You can join your buddies by saying that's not fair and Doc Pee has the right to absolute free speech because that's how society should be run. That's a little more intellectually presentable. It's still pretty weak, but there's a small chance the court might actually buy it.

But if LLP said "Trump was a loser", that's an off the cuff opinion. Not something with any professional weight behind it.

Thank you Mitchell, for taking the time to check the sources and respond.

As far as I know Peterson hasn't been taking clients for years. Mandrill thinks he did early in his career, I haven't checked but assumed that he went the tenured prof route instead.
So no, there are no patients to complain at all.

The CPO isn't censuring Peterson for political views, this is about his tweets that demean groups that would be possible patients for therapy.
Fat shaming, insults about trans, insults about women and the tweets mentioned on the report.
The one suggesting someone kill themself , 'you're free to leave', would be malpractice to say to a patient and for the board to continue to license someone who might say that to a patient?

Those are the attitudes that psychologists are there to deal with, not to further.

 

[WyattEarp]

Same to you as well. There are a few guys here where I'm like I heard something just like that in very similar phrasing from someone else somewhere in this forum.

Frank has made a number of extremely good points in this thread.

I actually gave Frank some kudos early on for explaining why Peterson is disturbing to many including those in his profession. Frank's just pissed off that I dismissed one of his summary postings from the COP. I really didn't get anything from it. I've read (and watched) more and still didn't get anything.

"Number of extremely good points" I think is a stretch. Frank might likely be one of the previously noted for sealioning. As I always joke, Frank punishes me for taking the time to read his stuff and interacting with him. I don't want to unduly criticize Frank further in this thread.

If people want to base their argument on the COP's expertise, there's not much that can be said. But one should allow themselves a path of retreat. No one knows where this is going to end up. Me thinks if Peterson pursues this, keeps his license and doesn't do the prescribed re-education, the COP will try to find a way to save face. That could be the savior of this idea here that the COP knows best. For me, it might look like Peterson-haters found a way to move the goalposts after the ball has been kicked.

Many of us enjoy listening to your turds here.

I had no idea that my turds were just so interesting....more interesting than Shapiro, I am sure of.....

Peterson's subscriber base is now up to 6.25 million now. It was 6.23 just two days ago.

He's literally exploding,lol. The great news is that he continues to jump in high water. Instead of backing down to the commissars. He's pushing the limits of intellectual freedom and exploration of the truth. It's truly amazing.

He just completed a podcast with dynamic meteorologist Dr. Richard Lindzen about climate change , the models used to predict it and the politicized world of ''professional'' science.

Lindzen is an excellent partner for Peterson.
Though Lindzen only made $25k USD from the fossil fuel companies, Peterson can probably teach him how to make more off of youtube.

Partnering with someone as blatantly anti-science will end any cred that Peterson is smart or a free thinker.
No scientific agency of any repute, or university, will ever touch Peterson again.
Instead he can ride the 'intellectual freedom' train to living off of right wing anger and ignorance as long as it lasts for him.

Peterson is now an anti-science, conspiracy theory promoter.

I guess Earp's insight into professional standards doesn't include getting the body's name right.

 

[The Oracle]

Dr Jordan B Peterson and Dr. Bjørn Lomborg discuss the present sense of impending doom that has swept the western world- and specifically today's young people. Together they break down the ideas of social credit and easy activism, and paint the picture of a world we can strive for, without the demonization and destruction of the one we currently inhabit. Bjørn Lomborg is a Danish author, having written numerous books on climate change such as “False Alarm,” “The Skeptical Environmentalist,” and “How to Spend $75 Billion to Make the World a Better Place.” He is the president of the think tank Copenhagen Consensus Center that focuses on doing the most good, for the most people, with increasingly limited budgets. Previously, Lomborg was the director of the Danish government's Environmental Assessment Institute.

Another fantastic dialogue between these intellectual heavyweights. We are lucky that we can learn from these podcasts.
