Who says the socioeconomic part needs to be on a normal distribution. It can be be any distribution that fits the data. You dont understand what you are talking about.

What peterson does is just to summarize some psychology research he has come over. Its very likely you can even find it if you want to. I dont care basically.

Peterson is an expert in psychology. Please increase the quality of your output, im getting increasingly disinterrested in replying to spam. Im not here to wage a partisan hack political struggle, i leave that to the children.

It is ****ing INSANE how easily people will accept you as an "expert" on IQ if you're racist. Murray is a policy/PR hack and Peterson is a clinical psychologist with a side gig crying about Disney movies, what the **** do either of them know about cognitive development? It's like how quickly you can get credibility as a terrorism expert if you just hate Muslims real hard like Gorka.

When talking about things within his field, he can be interesting if you are already interested in various psychological topics. He no doubt has the bonafides to back up his experience in psychology. It's when he goes on about white privilege, cultural appropriation and issues like those that he becomes a joke.

Ultimately, he's a guy who was successful in his field of study and because of that automatically thinks he knows everything about everything else. He wants to be a right-wing Chomsky but is not as successful in his field as Chomsky is in his and isn't as smart as Chomsky.

I think he was a clinical psychologist before, now i think hes a researcher at a university.

.

The JP thing is so wild they all act like he's some world-leading guy because he was like a working academic at a typical college. It's like if you learned your dentist really really really hated gay people and opposed gay marriage you wouldn't be like "well, but he was PUBLISHED in Braces Monthly, clearly he knows what's up". That's how jobs work. You don't get to be a psychology professor without a resume of psychology education and a few published works. And I imagine if you have like, some childhood trauma that makes you scared of the dark or whatever, he could probably sort out that for you. But he wasn't some leading light in the field.

But this **** where you're just gonna assume that because he had A JOB he's got to be the SMARTEST GUY IN THE WORLD boldly defending the status quo from the cultural marxist threat posed by Frozen having a plot twist*.... Don't any of you have any ****ing accomplishments of your own? Have some goddamn self-respect.


*this is a real thing he's mad about, to be clear, he's literally a crank

University of Toronto. Typical college.

Fly is so trumpkin it is awesome.

Clovis, you think Murray is racist. Is believing Murray is a racist a controversial belief, do you think, or one well supported by the facts?

Does, for example, Sam Harris share your belief that he's a racist(but nevertheless think it's important to let racists participate in academic discussions about ranking the different races)?

(also, yikes, now that you're defending JP you're definitely getting closer and closer to the point where you're gonna have to stop calling me a Trumpkin, you know that, right? That ain't much of an insult in the Intellectual Dark Web)

lol I’m defending the guy because I point out you know nothing about UofT?

I literally know nothing about Peterson. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak nor read a word of his writing. Unlike you, that means I have no opinion on him.

I know Harris and him had a famously bad debate. They also just did a couple debates but I don’t think they are released yet. Once I hear them, I’ll form an opinion.

Oh that's great let's get back to people you are familiar with and who you do have opinions about:

Clovis, you think Murray is racist. Is believing Murray is a racist a controversial belief, do you think, or one well supported by the facts?

Does, for example, Sam Harris share your belief that he's a racist(but nevertheless think it's important to let racists participate in academic discussions about ranking the different races)?

One wonders if Clovis is ignoring the questions Fly asked 3 times in this thread just to troll him.

EDIT: Four times

It is a mystery.

Teehee trolling the libs is so naughty!

BTW Clovis you absolutely have no ****ing idea how to answer either of those questions because you don't know **** about Murray and didn't read or follow the Harris/Murray/Klein debate outside of getting FURIOUS that a nice white boy with rich parents was getting called racist.

Prove me wrong.

You really should read 10% happier.

It was their first podcast together. Sam wouldn’t let JP off the hook in regards to his definition of truth is, which according to JP is basically anything that ultimately doesn’t result in the annihilation of our species. It’s a pretty horrid listen but it did expose JP for being a charlatan.

Current debates won’t be released until sometime after their 4 live events are finished.

You really should try to answer my questions. Imagine how good it would feel to prove me wrong. People have constantly been popping into this thread to laugh at you, bro, laughing at you for being emotionally unstable and ignorant. But you can show them. You can show all of them.

Just answer my questions. Prove me wrong.

Let me finish my google training at least. I’m just not on your level with the google yet.

You need to google your own opinions?

Uhh... never heard of the guy but Wikipedia says he’s a full professor at one of the best universities in the world.

Like this cheeky "lookee me I am so dumb" thing as trolling only works if everyone is aware that you aren't dumb, but, uh, everyone thinks you are real ****ing dumb.


It's 2 ****ing questions. You can't answer them because your entire worldview is spoiled brat resentment and so the tiniest, tiniest amount of pushback broke your brain.

No wonder you fall for winemom self-help books, you're mentally weak but you've been coddled so much you didn't even know. But now you do. You learned a lot about yourself here on two plus two, didn't you?

But fly told us it is a typical college. How can that be?

LOL what the **** is up with you guys and this need to storm in to announce that you've never heard of a guy* but here's your opinion?

*and just like the last X time, a really noteworthy guy! In the news a lot!


Thanks for the input Max! Very helpful!

I’m unhinged.

I think if it came down to it you'd eat a ban over answering those questions because you can't even conceive of how people who know things talk about the things they know, you literally think this is substantive debate, endlessly dodging questions to wind up the libs.

I just thought, based on your history, that you’re dumb enough to genuinely think a full professor isn’t an expert. So I actually was trying to be helpful.
