He's more cited than 2 other professors ergo "one of the most often cited in the world"?

How many psychologists can you find who were cited more than 8.9 thousand times?


Interesting how he doesn't ever talk about his cited academic works. Or doesn't get published the shit he spouts.

Almost like these things are unrelated to each other.

I can't believe you thought this incoherent post was worth spamming

Not like that's a complicated question for a psychologist or anything. A psychologist would ask "What do you mean by 'god'".


A philosopher might ask that, but any normal human can answer without 10 minutes of sophistry.
"Do you believe in an intelligent entity that created the universe?" isn't a complex question. Pretending there's layers to delve into is the faux part of faux intellectual (not that I'm calling him that).
Any moron can answer the question even if their idea of god is a universal programmer to a simulated universe, a supernatural entity, a higher dimensional entity, etc etc etc.

It's a simple yes or no question and we'll even allow for "maybe, I'm not sure, well i think of god as . . etc" but not allow for useless yammering.

Peterson has plenty of clout and is far from a pretend intellectual. If he is, then quote what he says directly and argue against it. You nor anyone else ITT has attempted that, probably because you know you can't.

Isn't that appeal to authority, though? His field is psychology, but he literally commented on foreign legal policy in the Australia homosexual law debate? What makes him an expert on that?

If you asked Peterson if he believes in the God of Abraham who turned Sodom into pillars of salt and is the father off Jesus dies for his sins so that he could get into heaven, he'd say no. But that's not the same question as "do you believe in god".

Why are you so triggered by appropriate answers to vague, far-reaching questions?

Doesn't matter how many published works someone has. If you were confident that person is wrong, you can post their actual quote and refute it.

Problem solved.

So he supports gay marriage but is against the motivations of cultural marxists because he's wary of how it fits into their narrative.

Ok, what's the problem with that

Patently false, many places have an HR department and anyone that isn't a fucking idiot can figure it out anyways. (He's right that it wont stop but wrong about why.)

Because he's never heard of foundation or something. Or blue eye shadow. Or any number of styles and types that can't be directly tied to an o face.

I mean, besides his obviously ridiculous ideas about how gay men need women to keep them on the straight and narrow or the weak appeal to tradition, the fact that he thinks it is morally upright to punish innocent people by imposing immoral laws (that he claims to not agree with) in order to stick it to a vaguely defined ideological enemy is disgusting.

Rules laid out by an HR department for the purpose of protecting a company from liability != societal workplace rules. Stop being dense.

I'll address it, and it's something I don't agree with JP on. I can further JP's viewpoint because I feel the "he only wants to gay marriage to be illegal because he hates liberals" is a bit simplified.

His reasoning is hypothetical. IF the bill is backed by cultural marxists, and it passes, JP feels it will become a slippery slope towards the marxists social control. JP is exploring how gay marriage will effect society, who is pushing for it, and what their end game is.

I don't think he has some hidden agenda to try to stop gay marriage, personally. But again, I would vote to legalize gay marriage regardless of his position.


It's still not a morally justifiable position. It's literally the realpolitik version of dealing with societal issues, and I don't really understand how anyone can justify that when, realistically, you can't argue that the legalization of gay marriage is an issue entirely supported by cultural Marxists. Even if we accept that it's some sort of ploy, he can't even clearly define what group he is trying to stop or what their agenda is.

It's like a conspiracy theory; there is a vaguely defined philosophical cabal operating in the shadows pushing for reasonable demands like gay marriage legalization to further their evil goals and therefore we should punish them by doing something we know is morally wrong in order to spite them". What is the difference between that and him saying it's part of Satan's goals? Or the Illuminati? Or secret Nazis who live on the moon?

It's like saying, "we shouldn't produce insulin for diabetics, not because I have a problem with diabetics, but because that is what my vaguely defined enemy entity secretly wants and I don't want to help them with their agenda!".

He is mentioning Jordan Peterson a lot, so I take his positions are terrible?

IIRC hes mostly just another classical liberal who criticizes SJWs more than Republicans & the far-right. In general he seems particularly popular among the MRA/MGTOW crowds.

from what ive seen

- he thinks that women shouldnt ware makeup in the workplace
- he is obsessed with lobsters
- he is anti-sjw, and anyone who speaks out against social norms is gold with these type of people
- he had an interview with a silly British reporter which gave him his much wanted attention and publicity so more manchildren can follow him
- he claimed that the same sex marriage thing in... think it was australia....should be voted DOWN because the other side want it...literally that was his only reason. dont give them what they want because mr peterson doesnt want the other side getting their way and treating gays as normal people...hes horrid.

I find it interesting that anyone who isnt strictly left wing is criticized by many on this board and other parts of the internet. Jordan Peterson is pretty much moderate politically, probably best described as a classical liberal. And yet somehow he is empowering the "alt-right"? He has a Ph.D in psychology, has been a clinical psychiatrist for decades, but somehow he is "stupid"?

I dont agree with him all the time but the hate he gets from the lefties isnt even based on reason or logic.
