A far more interesting venn diagram is the cohott on here who dismiss Peterson are also the biggest headcases on the forum. Especially the lad who reminds us in every second post that he went to Oxford and finished top of his class.
Someone referred to him as a ânobodyâ Regardless of what you think of his opinions, he is one of the most distinguished academics in clinical psychology, author of more than 100 research papers before writing any âself helpâ books. This is before he fell foul of the Canadian government who took offense at his stance againt their batshit âpreferred pronounsâ legislation.
Hereâs an idea for those who donât like his opinions, donât buy his books, donât listen to his podcasts and donât attend one of his lectures.
So this is a distinguished academic that we can set our watches by??
You wouldnât be long cutting down distinguished academics that donât agree with your worldview
You said I attacked your profession, I didnât. I am a massive supporter of education and teachers and eternally grateful for all the great teachers I had from primary school through college. Had a few shit teachers as well but thatâs to be expected.
What I took issue with is your tendancy to label everything you disagree with as âfar rightâ. Thatâs a disturbing trend that has crept into society and is used to stifle debate. No denying there are nutters who are far right, but they shoudlnât be confused with the vastly greater numbers who happen to think differently to you.
You made the claim that the far right has a lot of support in Ireland on immigration. Where is the evidence for that? Unless you believe that the 80% of the population who think Ireland is on the wrong track on immigration are all far right? The reality is the few far right parties that exist get at most a few hundred votes and have never been remotely close to having anyne elected, even at a local level.
I havenât read any of his research papers or listened to much of JP. Broad question but are the research papers in the same vein generally as his commercially successful books and speaking appearances?
No, itâs not compulsory to agree with any given academic. I agree with some of his positions, especially his earlier work, not a follower or even interested in him currently. I wouldnât advise anyone to follow any self appointed âself helpâ guru blindly.
âevery second postâ⌠Bless. The impotence, the impotenceâŚ
You are one of the self elected morons. And boy do you really not like having same pointed out.
I would destroy you and the likes of you in any philosophical debate â and have done plenty of times before. And ye know it. Ye simply do not have the brain sugar. And, anyhow, what objection could right wing headbangers credibly have to the survival of the smartest?
Yere choice? To be fatuous or to be hypocritical.
Gives me great amusement that being intelligent and liking picking mushrooms and knowing about whisky drives a select few ladeens here nuts.
Most of his ealrier work is on human behavior and specifically addictive personality, something he became familar with himself in later life. His book âMaps of meaningâ is an interesting read. He was a practicising clinical psychologist for a few decades so not just an academic.
