So… he created his own safe space?
Only real men who have their house in order, at the peak of human intelligence, grift the most mentally unstable, and attack the most vulnerable, members of society; get addicted to benzos and fly to Russia to be put in a medically induced coma to avoid enduring the consequences of their actions, ostracise themselves professionally, then spend the rest of their lives a talking head for the right wing propaganda machine.
You’re just to woke to understand his genius…
Hi, woke moralist here. Please reconsider framing addiction as a moral failing. It’s a disease.
“Mikhaila has consistently and emphatically claimed that her father is suffering strictly from physical dependence, and not from addiction.”
So, another PragerU?
KermitU
That is an insult to the Muppets and the memory of Jim Henson.
I feel bad for it.

Jordan Peterson announces he’s launching a new scam.
It’s better to do something badly than to not do it at all.
His own quote. I can’t make this shit up.
I think he should take up skydiving.
What’s wrong with this quote? Trying at something and failing is better than never trying at all.
Depends on what it is. Failure can cause harm to others. Do we want bad safety inspectors, cops, or educators?
We’re already doing that with cops
Doing bad safety inspections is still better than doing none at all tho…
Soft disagree, if you know that no inspection has been done, then you are aware that there may be unknown risks and act accordingly. A safety inspection done poorly creates a false sense of security that can be dangerous.
Failing at something is one of the most effective ways for humans to learn, grow and achieve success.
It is when we learn from ours and others mistakes that we can achieve higher levels of intellect to determine how to be smarter, more kind, make better decisions, be better at our jobs etc for the next time…
Look at history to see how good things have come from massive failures.
We can’t escape failure in life and we cannot always control the consequences or fallout from our decisions/actions, but we can keep trying. That is what the above quote is all about.
But education isn’t something we need to reinvent.
We already made mistakes we can learn from.
Trying at something and failing is better than never trying at all.
Sure you wanna say that about parachuting?
He isn’t saying to do something and fail at it, but to do something and do a terrible job at it is better than to have never done it. You’re conflating what he said with sayings like “It is better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.”
I dunno. I think it’s better not to attempt genocide, fascism, bullying, propaganda, etc etc etc. No matter how good you are at it.
I hope someday he gets the help he needs so he can leave everyone alone.
He tried to get the help he needed in Russia. It did not go well.
At least he didn’t go to China. I’ve seen what they do to people there. Peterson showed me.
A new age of anti-intellectualism awaits us.
The new age of anti-intellectualism persists. Continues. Stubbornly endures.
Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, open their own university and grift people.

all you really need to do is say stuff with conviction that supports a groups politics and sound vaguely plausable/intelligent while you do it. they will then tout you as an infallible expert
I’m neither smart nor well educated, but the biggest mistake I made in my life was underestimating how widespread deep stupidity seems to be.
George Carlin — ‘Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.’
Funny part is that technically even that statement is wrong.
This is true for the median intelligence, not the average.
Although both numbers are probably very close it’s still funny to me.

Cool, well, HR software can add a filter for his university so apps get auto rejected.
Grifters gonna grift.
Haven’t we already tried Trump U and Praeger U?
This is just one more embarrassment for the conservative movement.
The former psychology professor vowed the program would be 95% less expensive than a typical university.
Not that hard when I look at what the hell American universities cost.
Of course, they give you real degrees.
Yes, but none of that money was going into his pockets.
As you said this, he stared off, just to the right of the camera in the middle distance, eyes quickly turning red and glistening…
jordan peterson cooking up a whole new type of idiot. can’t wait to see the first cohort of freethinkers launch a series of startups based on stuff like reselling the breadsticks from olive garden
Grifters gonna grift.
Now the right is devaluing the word university. SMH…
They’ve been doing that for a long time.
PragerU has been infecting education since its inception and is now having its propaganda adopted by right wingers as official course material in genuine schools.
Trump University was disbanded in 2010.
Brigham Young has been around well over a century, started by an outspoken racist shitbag and still having extreme right wing and racist policies and views today.
They know full well that controlling and infecting education is the only way to breed sufficient amounts of people dumb and prejudiced enough to vote for their side.
It’s why cutting public education has been a number 1 target for the right wing since forever.
BYU, no matter it’s history, is at least accredited and has a decent academic reputation. You can get your degree from there and it means something. You might not want to go there if you’re not Mormon (or are a Mormon who doesnt “look” like one), but it’s not like you are setting your career back if you do.
For a while I kept getting Liberty U ads on my LinkedIn feed even though I kept reporting them.
Yes - it’s important to remember that these guys don’t want public anything .
They sometimes hide it behind economics, but it’s ideological.
The dorm room policy is gonna be strict af
