An interesting look into the life of this nutter. I cannot recommend Origin Story enough. It's a wonderful series.

"Btw, I know what I’m talking about with this climate stuff"

I hope she’s done some additional reading since she got picked apart by Joe Rogan, of all people. He made her walk back any notion that she’d really gotten stuck in on the subject, but I see she’s ready to be an authority again.

Edit: Sweet Jesus, she’s doubting the moon landing in this? :eek:
 
Trouble in paradise as Little Ben Shapiro and Candace Owens go at it on Twitter. Somehow Shapiro's staunch pro-Israel stance doesn't really gel with Candace Owens' thinly veiled anti-semitism. You just know he'd love to fire her, but it would probably be mega expensive, so they just sling a bit of mud instead.

Far Right Media Clash: The Ben Shapiro And Candace Owens Blowup Explained

This Tweet is pretty funny though. She basically calls out Shapiro's reaction to the Gaza situation a temper tantrum.

 
What on earth is this shit?



That is also a way to say you've been sent to an HR class about appropriate use of Social Media for professors at Toronto because you're not using the platform in accordance with their guidelines.

Drama queen.
 
The comments make you want to jump off a bridge.

Or start selling bridges.
 
I worked at one of his shows (bar work). Had big cognitive dissonance serving loads of well mannered people after being treated like dirt at the average concert. But that’s probably down to the big difference in alcohol consumption. His voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

A lot of neat whiskeys and people wearing suits, and not because they’re just off work.
 
Just noticed Jordan P. is doing an arena tour. People are actually paying $200 a ticket to see this douchebag.

He did a tour back in like 2018. Tickets were like $25 I think. I didn’t go, obviously, but I remember wondering about what it would be like to be in the room to witness him and his audience. I know his transgender stuff had started because I was still living in Ireland when I learned of that, but I think he was just before, or in the early stages of, his full scale unravelling. As he gets progressively more unhinged he seems more and more easy to rattle
 
Peterson is the most cringeworthy person alive. Puts Elon Musk to shame. This is almost unbearable.

Puts Tolkien to shame. Totally beats the Witch King's speech to Gandalf

Aren’t benzodiazepines supposed to chill the person out ? I’ve took similar stuff before and just got really into Tarkosky films. How is this fecker so angry all the time.

There's not a doubt in my mind that's the sort of thing he was imagining. Some people play up the cringe stuff, but he definitely, absolutely, for shit sure believes that he comes off as the coolest motherfecker on the planet. It brings new levels to the cringe that you just don't get with self-awareness.

He got off them. By putting humself into a artificial induced coma in eastern europe that nearly killed him.

:lol: Jesus. He’s such a fecking nerd. They both are actually. Part of what makes them so impossible to take seriously is the stench of dweeb off them. Which I also think contributes to them being such terrible people. Too many wedgies and purple nurples as a child. Classic bad guy origin story.

I don't see how he's risen to the position of prominence that he has. All I've gotten from this chancer is pseudo-intellectual waffle which he's used to coat this misogynistic and anti-trans narrative, and those on the right have swallowed it up and praise him as this intellectual powerhouse. Similar to Ben Shapiro in fact, albeit without the obnoxious fast talking or insistence on solely debating college kids.

That Richard Dawkins clip posted above had it spot on - he serenades his (often thick) fans with words they don't understand, so they only assume it to be true. Almost like a Carmine Lupertazzi jr of the social media sphere.
 
And now imagine you are his patient. I doubt you would be better of.
 
Guess how much front row center tickets are to see this cnut in Savannah fecking Georgia? $1324 a pop.

:lol::lol::lol:
 
I'm half-convinced he's running a psychological experiment, and making a shitton of money while doing it. He used to be a decent academic -

It all dates back to a series of papers published in 2012 and 2013.
Extreme Liberalism and reactivity to arousing stimuli: a neurophysiological investigation
Spiritual liberals and religious conservatives
System justification and electrophysiological responses to feedback: Support for a positivity bias.
Confounding valence and arousal: What really underlies political orientation

The conclusion from these papers is fairly straight forward. Liberals are hard to get engaged, it requires thoughtfulness and attention to detail. They are very rarely influenced by strong emotions. One of the papers found that conservatives are strongly emotionally influenced by both positive and negative feedback, while liberals generally don't seem to be. Hmm...

Followed by two very different type of papers
A scalable goal-setting intervention closes both the gender and ethnic minority achievement gap
Why do conservatives report being happier than liberals? The contribution of neuroticism

The first is a paper which seeks to understand how you can ensure that women and ethnic people are not unfairly disadvantaged in academia.Jordan B Peterson was involved in a paper that aimed to study how to close the gender and ethnic minority achievement gap in universities, and proposed active intervention to do so.

The second is an analysis of how the emotions, and the Big Five traits differ between conservatives and liberals, and how that affects their view of life. The Big Five is something that keeps propping up in all papers he co-authors, and seems to predict fairly consistently what psychological traits are associated with people that have conservative political views. He wrote extensively about these Big Five personality traits earlier on in his career. The most interesting thing about this really, is that at this point it seems that his papers are suggesting conservatives are easier to manipulate into engagement than liberals.

After this he starts publishing books aimed at conservatives, holds speeches and publishes videos. His research into conservatives continue. How does the Big Five traits influence conservative views and what common denominaters are there - what makes a conservative engage in an issue.

From dispositions to goals to ideology: Toward a synthesis of personality and social psychological approaches to political orientation
Ideological reactivity: Political conservatism and brain responsivity to emotional and neutral stimuli.
Improving the effectiveness of performance feedback by considering personality traits and task demands
Interpersonal Resonance: Developing Interpersonal Biofeedback for the Promotion of Empathy and Social Entrainment
An orderly personality partially explains the link between trait disgust and political conservatism
Amniotic testosterone and psychological sex differences: A systematic review of the extreme male brain theory
Don't get too excited: Assessing individual differences in the down-regulation of positive emotions

The papers he has co-authored are essentially a manual on how to manipulate conservatives;

I think he found a golden goose in his research, and ran with it.
