Same here. Who the heck is this fool and why on earth should I care what he thinks, especially since he is so obviously retarded?
Apparently in his experiment he had his spine removed and replaced with a wet noodle.
Coward.
And no, thinking people do not immediately recommend retreat as a "thought (less) experiment".
Here’s Peterson’s problem with respect to Justice Kavanaugh. Peterson allowed himself to assume that the Canadian perpetual downpour of anti-U.S. propaganda was true in regards to Justice Kavanaugh. That kind of propaganda is even more unavoidable up there from both media and institutions than it is down here. And yes, it is also quite sponsored up there by the same kind of establishment, too.
Peterson has had a wild ride and has mostly managed when so many have been run through like a pig on a spit. This comment was not one of his best by any means and it goes against one of this several good rules. So, he wasn’t thinking. We all do that once in a while. Say something dumb before thinking about what comes next.
This whole thread makes me so much less proud of Free Republic. Knee jerk ignorance. We can do better.
Evergreen? where trannies tell professors when they are allowed to use the bathroom? where professors cower in a room instead of getting control of students a third of their age? that Evergreen? pfffft
...knuckle under or be destroyed...
Indeed
Biker jacket and water skis moment
I’ve heard many of Peterson’s talks and debates on podcasts and converted to MP3 youtubes.
The guy is brilliant and 90% of what he says I agree with. So this stand of his on Kavanaugh surprises me.
My guess is he’s being deliberately ambivalent because this issue is so divisive. He’s a clinical psychologist, not just a academic so perhaps he’s thinking of his future patients and not appearing to be one-sided.
Maybe he’s doesn’t want to be the poster boy for conservative-thinking psychologists anymore. In one of his lectures he said he’s the only one he knows.
Perhaps he’s at a career turning point and wants to relax his lecture schedule and focus on his work and not be so much in the public limelight.
Being Canadian, maybe he’s sore the result of the USMCA trade agreement.
Just went to a Peterson lecture in Denver tonight! If you want to hear someone that the intellectual left fears and hates as much or more than Trump, then he’s your man. He spoke against SJWs, the lunacy of identity politics, the destruction of the university, let alone how the Democrats will bring ruination in their wake. He spoke eloquently about his poorly thought out 2 a.m. tweet about Kavanaugh as well. So everybody take a chill pill. The enemy of our enemy is our FRiend.
I have to say, you watch some of his interviews and interactions with Leftists and the guy is on another level, IMHO. I happen to think that guys like Milo Yiannopoulos and D’Souza are the same way. Not that they’re any smarter than anyone, they just seem to have the knack to scramble someone’s thought process and shut them up, like few can. I think Allen West is like that as well. Although, Yiannopolous, could sometimes be a little over the top, which is what got him in trouble.
Anyway, watch a few clips of Peterson, just for sh*ts and giggles. He can take people down in ways that few can even imagine doing.
I can live with that. If he’s just stirring the pot to see what others are thinking. As I responded to another comment, when he’s dealing w/ the Left, he’s no joke in rendering them speechless and bringing out the temper tantrums.
Moreover, Justice Kavanaugh was not a controversial nominee because of the BS uncorroborated assertions against him. He was ‘controversial’ because he is and was a conservative Constitutional fundamentalist, and his opponents did not want a Constitutionalist on the US Supreme Court for the next 30 years or more. To make compromise nominations of jurists who would be ‘acceptable’ to the political opponents of the President and the Populist/Conservative movement which elected him would make no sense. The people voted for change in a Conservative direction; the President promised change in a Conservative direction; to pander to the politicians whose previous actions and present positions are what Pres. Trump ran against and his supporters voted to end would be a betrayal, not a compromise.
Can you give a little more on what he discussed about his 2 am tweet? I am curious.
And n a Forbes article: Weinstein, who has called himself “deeply progressive,”
I knew he was no authentic conservative, though he may have some useful things to say. I have therefore not yet bothered with him.
I suspected from the start that it was another case of conservatives being desperate for a popular hero they could call their own.
There is also the possibility that’s he’s thrown out this thought balloon in order to gather responses for further arguments
One of the zombies must have bit him.
He is one of them now.
Peterson, a Canadian academic, became a conservative due to his research and work in psychology and private counseling. Petersen deserves great credit and respect within those fields but has no experience in American politics and lacks an understanding of its cutthroat aspects. As for Kavanaugh clearing his name, it seems that Judiciary Chairman Grassley will do that by investigating the false accusations and perjury cooked up against Kavanaugh. In the meantime, Kavanaugh will have to console himself by carrying out his life’s work of being a great conservative Supreme Court Justice.
