I just bought two of his books.

The left is going to attack him mercilessly. This is what they will do to us if we challenge them.

Pseudo Majors?

You mean like the current crops of colleges who are offering degrees in "Womens Studies" and has courses in "How Lesbian Thoughts & Leadership empower today's women in competitive workplace management" or "66 Genders: going beyond the original Gay, Lesbian & Bisexual Paradise"

Apart from these fake majors, the subjects will make even a dog gag & vomit in revulsion.

Some of these colleges are more like a recruiting camp for perverts & hell than an educational institution.

“Professor Jordan Peterson called out colleges for teaching “pseudo-disciplines” ...”

I’d call them more like garbage disciplines.

Are you familiar with him? He has already taken on so many sacred cows that this is entirely in character.

And the Left can't win a single debate with him, when they even permit one

He’s one of our heroes... what’s in it for him? The satisfaction of making one part of his world better...

I’m not making that up - read some of his stuff. He’s amazing.

I disagree. The reason these majors exist is because black students and others need a major. Screwed up kids need a major. So you get these African studies and women studies and American Indian studies. Then the “professors” who teach these classes end up teaching freshman writing classes and what counts for history classes.

You really have just three groups of professors now. Science and engineering and math, collectively STEM. Then you have business, collectively how to get a career. And finally you have what used to be liberal arts which is now collectively, how to be a liberal. But that used to be History, Philosophy, English Lit. and soft sciences (like Psych, Econ, Soc, and Poli Sci).

Twenty five years ago, my girlfriend taught me under-water basket weaving. Can I get a Phd in it?

Well, that’s it for him.

Nah. He's well read on his Nietzsche. All that stuff that doesn't kill him makes him stronger.

People who take those stupid, made-up, majors, aren’t smart enough to be in college in the first place.

Some of them are smart enough, but are simply lazy. I took Social Psychology at U of Chicago as an elective for an easy B.

Sadly, the present state of “higher education” is that many, maybe most, schools are in the business of selling degrees. The courses/majors are unimportant and the grades meaningless. The student is a commodity sought and competed for with other institutions just for their tuition money that enable the administration and staff, professors and instructors to earn six and seven figure incomes.

“Business of selling degrees!” Remember that phrase.

Really?

Apparently you’re not aware of what the triple-parentheses means.

Do a little google-fu, and THEN come back and tell me I’m ‘projecting’

Would you be willing to share what ‘broker’ she went through. Would love to look into doing something similar.
