Jordan Peterson on corporate virtue signalling
Herald Sun ^ | 3-14-2018 | Rita Panahi

Posted on 03/15/2018 4:39:34 AM PDT by servo1969

Clinical psychologist, author, professor and easy-on-the-eye cultural critic, Jordan B. Peterson, took a break from his sold out speaking tour to chat with Miranda Devine.

He had some sage words of advice for the likes of Qantas, Telstra, PWC, KPMG et al:

“People who are doing this at the corporate level will rapidly get their comeuppance … If you’re operating within a capitalist environment like let’s say the executives and management of Qantas, who are being paid disproportionately well, you don’t also get to be a social radical. And you don’t get to salve your conscience for receiving a pay cheque that’s 300 times the pay cheque of the average worker by pretending you’re a social revolutionary. It’s an appalling sleight of hand.

“In addition, you don’t get to invite the radical leftists into your corporate utopia without opening the door to a major fifth column. If you are naive enough to think that the demand of the radicals for the transformation of your company is going to end with a few requests for language transformation then you’re a complete bloody fool."

Not saying this is wrong, but I find this a bizarre thing to include.

“And you don’t get to salve your conscience for receiving a pay cheque that’s 300 times the pay cheque of the average worker by pretending you’re a social revolutionary.”

Nowadays, you not only get to, but must. It’s a job requirement.

I have fallen absolutely and hopelessly in love with this man. He has become my Hero, plus, plus, plus. Tucker Carlson had him on and he was so clear, rational and elegant in what he had to say on the topic, that I could not wait to learn everything I could about him. I immediately ordered his book, “12 Rules For Life, An Antidote To Chaos,” and I cannot put it down. I will read it and reread it until my brain can hold some of it’s wisdom. Has he been sent to us as an aberration in our time to stop some of the insanity which surrounds us? I do not want to worship anyone but God. However, Dr. Peterson is one of the few persons in my life whom I could easily idolize. He can be found on Twitter, You Tube, Facebook and other places on the internet. This is a man who knows truth and is not afraid to stand alone, if necessary, to speak it. How rare is that!

He is absolutely correct. Adopting the mantras of the left wing is not in the interest of the stock holders. Just be quiet and meet people’s needs as you have in the past

Me too, but I love this guy. His looks do not matter. I love it when he talks.

Must have been a HSD female writing it.

Totally agree. He calms me. I listen to all of the videos he has out there.

Or, if you reach your hand out to a leftist, he will tear your arm off and club you over the head with it.

Hmmm...

For some odd reason this copy of the above video seems to play with fewer video sync problems than the video from the original source, at least on my computer. Must be an encoding thing of some sort.

I found him about a month or so ago after the disastrous interview with the 4Chan dumb blonde. I immediately ordered his book from Barnes and Noble and gave it to my son who will graduate from college in May. I’ve watched many of his videos on Youtube and I’m considering following him on Patreon. He is a voice in the wilderness oif the academic world.

Many women writers will include in a description of the person they are interviewing something about their appearance, clothes they wear, etc.

Peterson is Reason personified. In a one-on-one interview, he can not be defeated and can only be overwhelmed by shouting mobs that prevent him from speaking.

Some super heroes do not wear capes.

This Canadian farm boy grew up to be someone who treats very sick people and now has become an Atlas for the preservation of western culture.

Truly a very important man. Folks here should get to know him and promote him.

I loved Babylon Bee’s parody on who is Dr. Jordan Peterson.
He doesn’t have many female fans except for the millions of women who realized this is why their sons and husbands are suddenly cleaning their rooms.

Peter Drucker actually brought this up decades ago.
A business has one purpose and one metric - profit.
Social responsibility is a second purpose that interferes with the first, and it takes money, time and attention away from the business’ core competency.
If you want to run a charity, run a charity.
But a business is not a charity.
However, lots of liberals will try to turn a business into a charity because there is money and power there.

Social Responsibility and Its Conflict with Business as Foreseen by Peter Drucker

He saw economic totalitarianism in pre-WW2 where businesses were told you’ll pay these people a la welfare, and you’ll buy this as we order, until businesses were crippled or lost.
Liberals just have “kinder” branding for their fascism.
