Jordan Peterson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at the University of Toronto

What an airbag.

It's getting to be like behind the Iron Curtain where political reliability was a principal qualification. We know how that turned out, especially in the academia.

Some of what he says, I can relate from personal experience and observations while in an academic setting. I am not saying that he is full of shit, nor do I say that he is totally correct. There are positive and negative points.

DEI is simply disguised Marxist socialism.

Need I remind you that your side is literally drinking their own piss?

It's probably a good idea that you stay off Twitter if you actually believe that a few misguided souls represent an entire cohort.

You are who you associate with.

His whole philosophy basically is that be believes in equality of opportunity over equality of outcome.

Positions should be filled based on merit alone.

Anything different and you don't have the most talented people working in the desired positions.

Which leads to a trickle down effect of negative outcomes.........

The few associate with the many.

The many don't associate with the few.

That applies to both of the sides you mentioned.........

I despise Peterson as much as Shapiro for one single reason. And Trump is exactly the same.

These people think they are superior and will NEVER acknowledge any mistake. They will NEVER say they need to do better. They have ZERO humility. Over ego-ed prick if you ask me.

Just check it in your past working life. Who were the absolute toxic manager you had? Bingo always the one who were never never fucking ever able to admit they had done an error or mistake.

Right wing libertarian elitist earning a living from publicly funded system and cries about it becoming more inclusive.

He's only partially right.

He needs to study Frank Zappa.

My broken clock is right twice a day.

The problem with Peterson (in my humble opinion) is he is so full of hate, likely a bigot, and generally narrow minded. However, he is smart… A very compelling speaker, and puts his hatred in to very clinical language. He dresses it up in Professor speak…. And for too many, it makes it sound like what he talking about is intelligent. It’s the language that fools you.
