The Jordan Peterson Thread

[bsnub]

The death of free speech, tolerance and the right to hear views other than those fed by the liberal education establsihment

What a fucking moron. This is hardly suppression of free speech you utter buffoon. JP has millions that have been paid to him by white nationalist and other morons. He could most likely rent Wembley Stadium with all the money he has bilked of the Altreich and other racists. So Cambridge did not want his hate mongering on campus big fucking deal. It is hardly the death of free speech.

[Texpat]

What are they afraid of? Same for Berzerkley ... why are they so shit-skeerd of this guy, and Ben Shapiro, and Milo ... and others?

If they disagree with him ... invite him to speak. Then dismantle his argument. They won't do that though because the university professors would get schooled -- hard.

They only want to hear what THEY have to say. It's a lot like Teak Door -- but the latter lacks the facade of intellect.

This thread needs a new title:

'Uni Dis-invites Dude For Undisclosed Reasons, Bunch Of Old Snowflakes Engage Melodrama-mode And Reach For The Fainting Couch'

[taxexile]

Dude

[bsnub]

Hmmm...

What? Once again proving that you are a geriatric old fool.

[harrybarracuda]

Wonton killing can be pretty brutal.




Oh...you mean wanton.....

Please put a spoiler alert before posting images of such graphic violence.

There are snowflakes on this thread.

It's not fear, it's experience. We've already seen what happens when people with those beliefs gain power.

[Texpat]

Should be easy to refute then. Give it a whirl.

Instead they'll do the same thing TD posters do when confronted with an idea that runs counter to their worldview.

Shout it down. Ridicule the poster. Silence the source. Exercise the intolerance they claim to hate.

"dude", who uses language like that anymore? its almost as bad as "bro"

Nobody hates intolerance, sometimes intolerance is required. You are involved in some kind of false internal conversation where the "enemy" is defined solely by you and you attribute entirely imaginary characteristics to that enemy. Let me put it simply - the ridiculous should be ridiculed, the preachers of hate should be silenced, and the intolerable should not be tolerated.

[Texpat]

These speakers are not ridiculous or intolerable preachers of hate. But you know that. So too, do the school administration that sent, then rescinded the invitation. These speakers challenge the universities' status quo and that's unacceptable.

Students should be taught to learn and listen to not just the ideas they like, but ideas held by others, whether they like them or not. Cambridge, it seems, feels the need to protect its little darlings from non-choir players.

[DrB0b]

These speakers challenge the universities' status quo

Do you actually know anything about Oxford and Cambridge? If anything speakers such as Jordan reinforce those Universities status quo.

[Texpat]

Do you actually know anything about Oxford and Cambridge?

I know they don't want Jordan Peterson to speak there.

His opinions on "white privilege" and "preferred pronouns" would probably send the little snowflakes running for their safe spaces.

Student NehaMalhotra wrote, "Instead of making this campus safe(r) for trans folks & those that fall under your so-called "diversity" mission, you are actively supporting their oppression. So shameful."

Tell us more about how conservative and welcoming of Peterson Cambridge University is.

[DrB0b]

What's your address, Tex? There are some people I'd like to invite to exercise their rights of free speech there. They have some "interesting" opinions and I know a man as dedicated to free speech as you are would never deny anyone a platform.

[Texpat]

Somewhat less-than-graceful capitulation, B0b. It's a public research university, not somebody's living room.

[DrB0b]

It's a public research university

Not exactly, it's collegiate and that makes some difference. Being public makes no difference anyway, or are you suggesting that the iron fist of government be used to restrict academic freedom? Peterson, BTW, is perfectly free to sue them for no-platforming him.

Sorry to see that your earlier bleating about "defending to the death" doesn't extend so far as to allowing the moderator of Caravan of Jihad to give a talk in your living room. Your espousal of free speech is pretty selective.

[Texpat]

Wrong again, B0b. The moderator is at liberty to say what he likes in an open and free society. Any university worth its salt would welcome the chance to hear him speak (pretty sure it's a him, don't go all miso on me) and tear apart his conclusions.

Living in the wet and miserable Nanny State seems to have molded you back into uber PC conformity. Dearest regards, I'm off to bed.

Wrong again, B0b.

So you WILL allow him to speak in your living room. A courageous decision, Tex, probably your first. let me know your address and I'll get it set up.

I am sure there are a couple of ISIS dudes who would also like to discuss ideology with Tex, why don't you include them in the group you are sending over Tex's house.

[Buckaroo Banzai]

I applaud Tex's inclusiveness , and wish our side was as inclusive. I was watching a Trump rally the other time and when someone stood up in opposition my heart was warmed while the crown shouted "let her speak, let her speak"

Here is a sample of some of that inclusiveness

[Maanaam]

Wonton killing can be pretty brutal.




Oh...you mean wanton.....

. Yeah. Funny thing, later yesterday I had a small flashback and wondered "did I write wonton or wanton?. Oh well, Tom will be along to correct it if I did."

Can’t see anything wrong with the subjects discussed in the first video.
Men and women will never be equal. They are different. Human behavior has developed by a combination of nature and nurture over millennia.
Science can and has proved this.
Black people, or people of colour if you prefer, have developed differently to white people. If there are differences, they are evened out over time, by opportunity. That is not a racist or intolerant comment. It’s a historical fact.

A western seat of learning has denied students the opportunity to examine, question and refute, or understand someone who holds forthright views on human development.
Please tell me which is the guilty party here.

[Norton]

Tex, probably your first. let me know your address and I'll get it set up.
