(Scrub back to 0:00 if you want to watch a minute of a Boston Terrier watching TV)

I think this is the way he'll bumblefuck himself into Happy Atheist II. He's suddenly very taken with seeing himself on YouTube.

Of course, it's the wrong medium for the wrong guy. Meanwhile, a year will go by in a snap. He'll be s-o-o-orry.

So he is abandoning the atheism thing and writing a PopSci book on devlopmental biology? I can't see this going very well. Firstly, it will require a bit more effort over the coming year than writing "gods: LOL!" a hundred times. As you point out, that is unlikely to happen given his weird recent decision to get his blancmange face and busted-flute voice onto YouTube a lot more. Secondly, a contentious history is almost required for an atheist author but could be a problem for one wanting to have a semi-academic book taken seriously by the public.

Anyway, all the best to you, Meyers. May your book have all the success that you deserve.

"Marxism, a respectable political and philosophical tradition"
No, it's a fucking joke, that completely misunderstands human nature. I'm not sure how one could be a serious researcher of human emotions & behavior and also editor of a marxist rag. But Schiff pulled it off.

I have a trans daughter, but that was hardly an issue compared to what I felt was a betrayal of my trust and confidence in him. It was an abuse of the trust that comes with his professorial position, which I had fought for...
Oh, you trusted him to agree with you on every point cuz you hired him?

... to have misrepresented gender science by dismissing the evidence that the relationship of gender to biology is not absolute....
Jesus Christ, people, make up your minds. You can't claim your gender ID is something you're born with (biological), then say it's not biological when it suit you.

The scientific evidence is overwhelming that one's sex and one's identification thereof are intrinsically linked -- 99.7% in humans and likely nearly 100% in animals; that gender dysphoria is a symptom of a mental disorder, in some cases possibly the result of embryological misfirings; that 'gender' is at best a neologism of limited use, at worst a reification into a non-existent brain function.

digitaltrends.com wrote:According to the NTSB report, the pedestrian, dressed in dark clothing and pushing a bicycle, did not look in the direction of the oncoming Uber vehicle “until just before impact.” The pedestrian stepped into a section of the road with no direct illumination. Signs at the point where the pedestrian started to cross the road warned pedestrians to use a crosswalk 360 feet distant. Toxicology test results of the pedestrian after the crash were positive for marijuana and methamphetamine.

The bicycle also had no side reflectors. The front and rear reflectors and headlamp were perpendicular to the oncoming vehicle as the pedestrian pushed the bicycle across the road.

The 2017 Volvo was equipped with factory driver assistance features including automatic braking, driver alert detection, and road sign detectors. The factory assistance features are disengaged when the Uber self-driving system controls the modified Volvo.

The NTSB report stated that, according to Uber, the self-driving system is designed to rely on the vehicle operator to take action when needed, but the system does not alert the operator.
The car was set up to recognize an emergency situation but does nothing about it.

NTSB Report
According to Uber, the developmental self-driving system relies on an attentive operator to intervene if the system fails to perform appropriately during testing. In addition, the operator is responsible for monitoring diagnostic messages that appear on an interface in the center stack of the vehicle dash and tagging events of interest for subsequent review.
The driver had to both watch the road and monitor and tag diagnostics on the dash.

The only real question is what motivated him to write it. Jealousy maybe? Google Scholar sez that Schiff's thing was the study of the relationship between facial muscle movements and emotion. Not exactly earth-shattering.

Specifically, that forcing facial expressions could induce the emotions associated with them. That is admittedly interesting. Or was, when it came out in the 'Sixties.

In Statement Analysis, when someone leads with a denial, that indicates the opposite. Schiff leads the gender pronoun topic with:
I have a trans daughter, but that was hardly an issue....
So, uh, yeah, that's his primary issue.

I think for Schiff, Peterson went from rocking the academia boat in obscurity, to rocking the broader SJW hegemony in the limelight. (And from doing the former in frumpy professorial duds to the latter in snazzy bespoke mafia suits and $500 boots.)

Peterson scares the living daylights out of these pinko commie bedwetters, cuz they realize the mortal threat he poses to them. Precisely because he's not the right-wing nut job they accuse him of being. He's centrist, highly articulate, and willing to say out loud what the majority of people have been beaten or threatened into silence about. The gig is up and they know it. Their counterattacks will only get nastier as they get more desperate.

I think both could be true, it wasn't an issue, and still his primary issue.

Peterson has said that he does refer to people IRL with their preferred pronouns,
Newman: Let me move on to another debate that’s been very controversial for you. And this is, you got in trouble for refusing to call “trans-men” and “women” by their preferred personal pronouns.

Peterson: No. That is not actually true. I got in trouble, because I said I would not follow the compelled speech dictates of the Federal and Provincial governments. I actually never got in trouble for not calling anyone anything.

... ha gotcha portion elided ...

Newman: You have voluntary, … You have voluntarily come into the studio and agreed to be questioned. A trans-person in your class, has come to your class and said they want to be called “she”.

Peterson: That’s never happened. And I would call them “she”.

Newman: So you would? So you’ve kind of changed your tune a little bit, …

Peterson: No. No. I said that right from the beginning. What I said at the beginning, was that I was not going to cede the linguistic territory to radical leftists. Regardless of whether, or not, it was put in law. That’s what I said. Then the people who came after me said:

“Oh, you must be transphobic! And you’d mistreat a student in your class.”

It’s like, I never mistreated a student in my class. I’m not transphobic, and that isn’t what I said.

Newman: Well, you’ve also called trans-campaigners “authoritarian“, haven’t you? I mean, isn’t that, …

Peterson: Only in the broader context of my claims that radical leftist ideologues are “authoritarian“. Which they are!

IE, it wasn't an actual IRL issue, although I read his essay same as you and thought, aha, this is the big issue, protecting his kid, and that he was misrepresenting Peterson's statement.

Very good essay. This part sums it up:
The self-affirming part is the rub. This new cult of atonement is less about black people than white people. Fifty years ago, a white person learning about the race problem came away asking “How can I help?” Today the same person too often comes away asking, “How can I show that I’m a moral person?” That isn’t what the Civil Rights revolution was about; it is the product of decades of mission creep aided by the emergence of social media.

I was following this before I went to bed.

My feeling is that he received a good deal of criticism from other academic types, and ignored almost all of it or gave flippant/dismissive responses.

I'm sure everyone is going to jump to point out how they are all jealous or politically opposed to him, and I suppose that's true to some extent. However a good deal of the points raised are legitimate and ought to be answered.

I don't think he had time to write more, flipping through. There were some long questions which included videos, etc... how do you respond when you only have a certain amount of allotted time? I suspect he took the more personal easy to answer questions.

least by people who could give an alternative informed view. Hence the "watch my video" so I don't have to answer direct questions.
When Johnathan Haidt questioned a couple of assertions he made in an interview, he backed off. He often doesnt practice what he preaches, eg " be careful what words you use" . "the other person may know more than you" . For a lot of people , right or wrong, he's their only second or third hand knowledge of pomo, Marxism, Foucault et al.
He needs better interviewers.

The only thing I've seen or read of Peterson's is the debate he had with that English journalist.

I am aware he was unsympathetic to zirs and recommends you clean your room.

Apart from that zip.

I feel pretty special.

I really think this speaks to the problem.

Peterson has rolled a bunch of oppositional stances (anti-feminism, anti-totalitarianism), and cultural identities (men, whites, conservatives) together and spun a narrative about who is responsible for what ails them.

It's a kind of nebulous gestalt which is maintained by the strong feelings of persecution from the identity groups involved, and it *very much depends* on them not really understanding the things he has identified as 'the enemy'. He avoids defining these things in any ostensive way, it's always 'those bloody neo-marxists', 'the humanities', and any other number of ways of saying 'THEM'.

SO we end up with:
1: An identity movement.
2: Angry, disenfranchised people.
3: A conspiratorial perspective on the world.
4: An emphasis on social narrative.

Remind us of anything?

Are you a Far Right Watch soy boy?



I wish them luck as my understanding was they were already found guilty.

Actually they can get their luck from somewhere else.

A mistrial? Were they arrested on one charge,then tried and sentenced to 13 months in jail on a different charge, without being allowed to call any witnesses, all in less than 3 hours?

He worked in a mayonaisse factory!
Of course he knew at the time creamy white mayo was a hate salad dressing but that didn't deter him.
The. Scumbag.
Making mayonnaise is cultural appropriation of the French. Or possibly even the Spanish. God knows how many people are being erased because you have to eat mayo!

A mistrial just means another trial. Bill Cosby knows that.

My source was Nazir Afzal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazir_Afzal in short a very senior lawyer who prosecuted the Rochdale case.
But I guess, no, of course it's because I'm a soyboy or whatever. Get that fucking lens off, not everyone who objects to TR is a neomarxist commie anti-west degenerate cuck.
