@uh_who_are_you @MarioAJrWTX What's the "LGBTQ(+) lifestyle"
Being a Buddhist & imagining you were reincarnated into the wrong body?!
Refusing to be coerced or forced into PROMOTING something even if you approve of or even support it has nothing to do with religion
And everything to do with free speech!🤦♂️

@uh_who_are_you @MarioAJrWTX BTW Is this "the entire thread" that "clearly [I] haven't been reading"
Including the Tweet I responded to
"Endorsing tolerance & inclusivity" is NOT the “radical left propaganda”!
Show me examples of them ENFORCING the ENDORSEMENT of Republicanism conservatism or Christianity

@uh_who_are_you @MarioAJrWTX The "nuanced" "progressive" view is to smear anyone to the right of them
In fact even eg feminists who disagree with late-term abortion gays who disagree with gay marriage or anyone who disagrees with the sexualisation or mutilation of children
As Nazis!
Who need punching😱🤦♂️

An opportunity was lost with the collapse of the #IntellectualDarkWeb. Logic only travels so far in the absence of social trust, and building trust rich social networks across tribes is extremely hard to do.

We live in an era of echo chambers. I won't listen to your information because I don't trust your sources, because I see them as being ill-motivated and not just potentially wrong.

Am #Tempodrom stehen schon etwa 130 bis 150 Personen die auf Einlass warten. Jetzt gerade geht sie auch rein. #b2909 #JordanBPeterson
A large number of police officers are already on the scene outside the Berlin venue hosting a live @jordanbpeterson event tonight. #Antifa have planned for weeks to try to stop the event. ngo.locals.com/post/2797554/b…
#Antifa's direct action against #JordanPeterson is already underway in Berlin. They earlier plastered posters against him around the city. One reads, "no show (allowed) for sexists & racists." ngo.locals.com/post/2797554/b…
A large group of #Antifa militants are holding a procession in their march to the Tempodrom venue in Berlin where #JordanPeterson is speaking tonight. They're hiding behind masks & large banners. A vehicle transporting large speakers is part of their group. #Peterson
Was hat der Auftritt des kanadischen Psychologen und Bestsellerautors Jordan B. Peterson im Berliner @tempodrom am 29.09. mit #Antifeminismus, #Transfeindlichkeit und der Sturm des Kapitols am 6. Januar 2021 gemeinsam? Well, a lot: 1/11
Wer stellt da am Donnerstag, den 29.09. sein Buch vor? Jordan Peterson kokettiert damit, der gefährlichste "Intellektuelle" des Internets zu sein. Seine enorme Reichweite spricht dafür: Auf YouTube hat er mittlerweile 5,5 Millionen Abonnenten und über 443 Millionen Aufrufe. 2/11
Auch auf Twitter folgen ihm 2,8 Millionen Menschen. 2018 waren es noch 650.000 Twitter-Follower & eine Million auf YouTube. #JordanPeterson steht nach wie vor hoch im Kurs, das allein ist nicht problematisch, wären da nicht seine Inhalte & das, dem er Vorschub leistet. 3/12
Ha ha ha, our muffin, #ColinWright not being entirely rational, is he. When Elon Musk copies his cartoon, "It's fine! It's fine! May I interest you in a mug, too, Elon, my mugs are the best mugs!" When Aaron copies his cartoon (albeit with enhancements): "You're insufferable."
Can't be that agreeing and disagreeing with someone on other matters and/or sheer level of internet clout could influence #ColinWright's judgement on someone's use of his stick figure cartoon, could it?
That would not be high decoupling if that were the case, now would it? 😂

In this interview @MikhailaAleksis:
Why are patients being abandoned en mass?
How did the opioid crisis happen?
Why are all efforts by public health failing?

We had 100K overdose deaths in 2021,
despite opioid prescriptions being at historic lows
Millions suffering & dying needlessly
How F#$% did this happen?😠

#ColinWright, #Quillette editor: "Being trans is just a state of mind. . .you can't empirically verify it in any way."
I know we didn't really need any more confirmation. But here it is.

When asked about his previous identification as a progressive, this is how he defines it: "I was pro the gay rights movement, and yeah, for sure."
Yep. Progressive. When you support legal and political changes that have just happened and without any of your participation.

#ColinWright about non-binary identity: "It's common but I still don't think people know what they're talking about when they say it. . .Just ask anyone of this ideology about what is a woman, and you just get insanity back."
Then he says "insanity" at least three more times.

As I mentioned, I've been looking at #EricKaufmann's report on #AcademicFreedom. I want to share another head-scratching moment with you today. 1/
My earlier thread:
My earlier thread:
Top of the report is a set of questions for which he received answers from 803 US scholars in social sciences & humanities. Here are questions 1-3 along with the graph representing the answers. In the report, the answer key is: 1. support, 2. oppose, 3. neither, 4. don't know. 2/
Participants were given 1 of 2 versions of each question with either students or admin campaigning. There is a difference between the two. We might question answers being lumped together into "students/the administration" as well as the very odd "find work elsewhere" phrasing. 3/
“I do not think that it is mere thin-skinned sensitivity on my part to believe that I would have fared no worse had I discussed my affairs with an avowed enemy.”—#JordanPeterson’s reaction to the piece.
Perhaps, though, it is more than mere thin-skinned sensitivity?

#JordanPeterson on his website details his daughter’s exceptional medical history in a long paragraph as argument against the reporter crediting the source she used for information about Mikhaila’s medical history: “according to her website.”
Friends, a few people at the uni, the National Post, & Toby Young assert that "all speakers have a right to be heard" at Cambridge. Did you once apply to a Cambridge program and were rejected? Did you want a Cambridge-affiliated scholarship or fellowship and were turned down? 1/
Now is the time to get the Free Speech Union on your case! Ask them to write a letter protesting the intolerance you experienced, and help you push for that position, funding, or engagement you didn't get! 2/
Are there research fields at Cambridge on which you once opined in a podcast or blog, but in which you have no training or research experience? Wouldn't it be nice if you could get a uni office, some meals, and a lecture series? Fear not. That didn't hold #JordanPeterson back. 3/
Excellent point.
IDW folk circulate shoddy sets of ideas and push them as much as they can in all ephemeral media formats--podcasts, youtube lectures, tweets, chats, memes.
These ideas get taken up in stunted format. IDW-developed terms travel widely without being well defined.

These ideas get taken up in stunted format. IDW-developed terms travel widely without being well defined.
These terms weren't well-defined to begin with, but as tweets get deleted, links become disabled, and video archives disappear, it becomes impossible to trace when & where a term's definition received the most sustained attention, or when relations between terms were made clear.
Many adopt those terms--because the terms speak to their perception and, more importantly, the terms carry a sting in a favoured direction--but when questions are raised, there's not a place (or, not anymore) where adherents and skeptics can check & negotiate their understanding.
"They meet in person, spread propaganda, encourage each other to expand the movement. They purchase weapons & discuss training. They have also attempted to join, influence & volunteer for Cdn political parties, adopting a restrained, more palatable guise." theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
"The overarching goal for many in the Cdn Super Players chat group was the eventual creation of a white ethnostate. In the meantime, one aim was to begin gaining a foothold in a range of institutions and professions, including law, education and the military." #whitesupremacy
"Dank said that at one point he was a student teacher at a school with children in Grades 6, 7, 8, whose ethnic makeup was almost entirely white. 'It’s the ethnostate basically.' Dank told the group that he was using his position as a student teacher to influence young minds."
Yeah, so from having listened to criminal lawyers discuss the calling of expert witnesses, I can tell you, you don't want to call someone to provide expert testimony on something they have not ever examined. What a bad decision. 1/
"'Dr. Peterson has no experience' assessing 'the reliability of confessions,'Justice Greenberg wrote in his ruling. 'In fact, he acknowledges that he has never seen a police confession and did not view the video of the confession in this case.'” 2/
I cannot even imagine the amount of hubris one needs to decided to go in front of a CRIMINAL COURT and claim one has the ability to assess false confessions made during police interrogations when one HASN'T EVER SEEN A REAL CONFESSION MADE IN A POLICE INTERROGATION. 3/
I'm roaring with the laughter of recognition.
Delightful review of #JordanPeterson's lecture on "Identity Politics and the Marxist Lie of White Privilege." Which I watched when it came out. It was hilarious. But not nearly as hilarious as this review! 1/

LOL "I was saddened to learn of Peterson’s tragic sexual pathology: he is unable to achieve orgasm except when thinking of women as sharing a robotic hive-mind, biologically programmed to find specific traits attractive. He can’t go more than a few pages without relapsing." 2/
"Nor do I want to think about his hideous vision of the world, where lobster-men square off against each other so the female will ‘identify the top guy quickly, become irresistibly attracted’ and ‘disrobe, shedding her shell, making herself soft, vulnerable, ready to mate’." 3/
Was thinking of starting a small series with the hashtag #WorstAcademicDiagrams but worried that they'd all end up being from Bruno Latour articles.
Prompted by this diagram, which has really got to me this afternoon #WorstAcademicDiagrams
...but of course I know that there's much worse out there, like this with is also from Latour #WorstAcademicDiagrams
Here's my theory: he doesn't care much for or doesn't think much about the role that political deliberation plays in a democratic society. Research can only every inform political decision-making, not replace it. Research conversations also have forms of deliberation built in.
Instead, he wants HIS take on research (and by Jove we know exactly how flawed that take is) to be what makes political decisions. E.g., in his reading of some of the research, evolutionary biology dictates human hierarchies. That's it. He just needs to say it loud & we're done.
So, he thinks his reading of the research settles it, and we need not pay attention to what other researchers are saying. Don't listen to them. Talk over them. Why not nix those fields who disagree with him altogether, because he says they're wrong. Not much argument needed.
#MorningJoe tells (sickening) Bari Weiss to only read comments from people with verified accts & "friends" with unverified accts in order to stay sane. Meanwhile, #MorningMika tells Weiss she did a fantastic job giving racists yet another voice in the @nytimes . 🙄😕
I wish I had time today to really dig into the disgusting "points" Weiss has to make in this article, but I took many screenshots & will tweet a few here for folks who don't want to use up 1 of their 5 free articles this month. /1 mobile.nytimes.com/2018/05/08/opi…
Here's how she starts the article. My eyes began rolling after the first two paragraphs. Lord have mercy, where is this article taking us? "That Which Cannot Be Said." 🙄 /2
