Who knew that models aren't the same as the totality of reality? His head will explode when he finds out that models are designed to include the most (actual/likely) important causal factors involved.

I'm fairly sure I know what all of those things mean TBH. Especially in the context of the sort of discussions he is talking about.
This is a classic.
Also the thread full of people laughing at him, then going "I love that so many people get wound up by him".
But he is smart. Just because you don’t share his views doesn’t mean he’s not an intellect.
A super-classic for this thread surely?
In a way, it is actually impressive for someone who is clearly very well educated and articulate to consistently talk such complete and utter bollox.
Nothing unusual about academics talking shite, he brings the added spice of being a bit unhinged too.
It’s really weird how nearly all the dog whistle right wing snake oil salesmen are extremely overly emotional and squawking left right and centre yet are constantly banging on about ‘hysterical leftists’ etc, and telling the World to ‘man up’ and so on.
While their followers are always telling ‘woke’ liberals to ‘go cry’, ‘woke tears’ etc. Peterson and Trump are beyond menopausal in their hyper emotional yelping.
It’s a proper double think job…

Inflation is because wokeness.
Do we still have people on here who are willing to go to bat for this buzzword generator?
Oh god, now we just need Charles Murray to chime in and we've got the bigot professor trifecta.
That tweet he's replying to is the cringiest thing I think I've ever seen another human being write.
How does he know that?
One of the better JP impersonations 
And that band!
illiterate and a prick. this is a clinical psychologist and self-help guy. hope he gets colon cancer
What’s he even trying to say with this one?
Easy. Get women out of the workplace. Enforce monogamy and the nuclear family. Make church attendance mandatory and abortion illegal. Bring back The Red Scare.
Then everything will be swell.
He's comparing trans people to people who self harm, and points out what he sees as a contradiction in how the wokes view the two groups: If you accept trans people's gender identities as valid, and view transitioning as a good thing, then you should also accept that some people identify as someone for who self harm is the right choice and you should view them hurthing themselves as a good thing.
Or something.
I see Peterson is being disciplined and told to go through social media training due to him being unprofessional and bringing his field into disrepute with his tweets.

Not sure what to make of this one. I can see why the faculty would be unhappy with the way he’s putting his opinions across, but at the same time I’m not sure it’s enough for them to be threatening to take away his right to practice.
Here’s big Pete’s thoughts on supposedly bringing the field into disrepute:

Jordan Peterson said:
Substance abuse will do that to you. Hes a fraud, a hypocrite and a cnut who no one should take seriously
Haha!
He's usually been qualifying his climate denialism a bit, but now with Daily Wire I guess that's not profitable anymore.
Most annoying thing about him is that he seems to think he's an expert in so many fields of science, he's got one area he's well versed in and yet he's so active in so many others. I remember an article from a biologist ripping apart one of his points on lobsters and their social hierarchies being like humans basically because he'd misunderstood a basic point in the evolutionary tree but if millions of people hear his idea and only a few thousand read the article, you end up with a large weighting of misinformed people.
He continues to get worse. As if the temperature of the earth 600m years ago has anything to do with how viable the current temperature is for supporting human life.
Trilobites would still be thriving, if it wasn't for the woke moralists.
Seem he knows about as much about cooking beef as he does anything else.
Saw it get mentioned on twitter that Peterson tries to do climate denialism by using “data” whereas most conservatives will just say climate change isn’t real because of God.
Other have mentioned Peterson lack of a belief in God before but it is still weird to me that the most popular right winger in the West, is an atheist who works at a Canadian university.
