Just watched it. I'm not a fan of hers, but she was dead right.

Could you imagine what a snake pit of feckless virtue signalers the Toronto acedemic community would be? The place needs to be sacked by the alt centre.

I'm guessing Canadian sensibility is similar to Australian, in that a Peterson persona would more suit the US than Canada or Australia.

We (and the Canadians) are more self-effacing than Americans, who celebrate wild self-expression in any form whenever they can.

Note his 'wing and a prayer' was directed at Americans.

Bugger, I just closed a long write up suggesting you should listen to Gad Saad to get a good indication of the state of Canadian academia.

I like Gad Saad. He has a sense of humour similar to ours... i.e. not Americanised.

That's what I said. He's funny, upbeat and more economic with his words than Peterson and shreds of the virtue signaling pretenders.

Yes...

His years of practising clinical psychology has left him scarred.

Today's clip makes me wonder if he's posing as a Christian messianic icon, 'suffering for all mankind'.

That is really stupid. Common. Base. Plebbie. Unthinking. Are all clinical psychologists scarred? Or only this one, who says things you are miffed about?

You are sledging him without offering any real, thoughtful insight or alternative. Lazy, stupid, snarly. Smiffy, Bwianesque.

We are no longer in the Ukraine, Toto - you need to reason a bit. Sorry if that's above you.
It's the West, innit. Assimilate, Igor.

Just so you know, 'innit' is a cockney expression.

Ukraine doesn't need to know. If you don't tell them, I won't.

'stupid. Common. Base. Plebbie. Unthinking'... Try harder on your adjective recall.

And stay off the piss... He'll be back soon (or will he?).

Thank you, Igor.

Conviction is the art of being Ukrainian.

Still, Gogol was Ukrainian, so it's not ALL bad.

I thought you were smart. No longer.

You are artfully certain. Then 'not know beyond doubt'. Certain, doubtful.
So we invented gods to know what we don't know. And then we paint.

What's more disturbing are the thousands of comments in his support.

As a clinical psychologist, Peterson should know he's likely suffering from a psychotic episode.

And yet, he has a legion of disciples who are elevating him to prophet status, if not a messiah.

there's a few on here who do that just because he uses big words. Grin

No chance you then ey? Grin
