I posted a clip that said exactly what I said it did, and I posted the transcript showing it as well, so all you're doing here is making yourself look exceptionally stupid. Your obligatory flopping and flailing, and you're useless mewling about context is especially funny considering this is coming from a Jordan Peterson fan channel with over 500,000 subscribers. "Nonono, that's not what he meant, even though he reinforces and doubles down on what he's saying as he continues throughout the video!" 🤡🤡🤡

No, that's really not what he was doing. He was trying to prove how "natural" hierarchies were, by absurdly comparing lobster brains and human brains. He was trying to draw comparisons between serotonin responses, and how it's the same (in his words) "circuitry" for both species. The fact that one can barely be called the brain, and that the other has 1,000,000x more neurons didn't matter to Mr. Peterson. He was telling a good story, and he knew most of his audience didn't know any better. The fact that serotonin generally has the OPPOSITE effect in lobsters as it does in humans was also irrelevant to Mr. Peterson, because that didn't follow his story either. It's the same for most of the stuff he says. He's a bloviating charlatan relying on an incurious audience that comes specifically to hear him affirm their worldviews. The Nazis "should" enslaved the Jews and the Gypsies, and forced them to work...🤣

No, I didn't cut anything, smooth-brain. I posted the video and it literally starts with him saying EXACTLY what you said he did not say. So....you're LYING!! 🤡🤡🤡 If you continue watching the video, he doubles down and continues to say it, and then expands on it. The mental gymnastics a no-life like you has to do to cope with your ineptitude is most interesting part of interacting with you. You're such an unbelievable clown it's too entertaining to put you on ignore. 🤣

Yeah yeah, except he absolutely did: Transcript: 🤡🤡🤡 He says, plugging for a charlatan and outrage farmer. Can't wait to see how you contort yourself trying to rationalize this now.

Listening to a charlatan who insists lobster brains work the same as human's and that Hitler *should have* used the Jews as slave labour *if he wanted to win the war* isn't high on most people's list of priorities. Listening to him and Pierre Poilievre pump each others' tires in a mutually affirmative "interview" would be even less so. This is about as interesting as it would be to listen to Al Gore interview Greta Thunberg on climate change...🥱

I think they do now, but back when Dalton McGuinty's Liberals were handing out free cheques to anyone who could say "windmill" (or even come close), they were rubber-stamped without any care. . Stuff's going to get built, and there's always someone who's going to complain about it. A pumpjack serves a purpose and can't be put anywhere. Thankfully nobody is going to build one on a busy tourist beach, but Unifor, geniuses that they are, decided a giant wind turbine that served no real purpose was a good idea.

Though there are probably a lot of 14 year-olds with more common sense and curiosity than some of the folk here, that is pretty nuts. I don't even think you need to be a member of the Party to cast a vote.

It was a deranged rant, written by a literal homeless guy who posts from his public library. I don't think any of us are surprised you "couldn't agree more". 🤡

Your response is equally broad. Positive results? Our mortality outcomes were exceptionally good compared to places like the USA, but they didn't come without cost. Do we pretend the Emergency Act never happened? Do we ignore that Trudeau was torpedoing public finances long before COVID ever reared its head, and the economic difficulties we face now are exacerbated by his poor judgment and stewardship? His will be a legacy of failure, cynicism and poor judgement.

There was a time when common sense was a thing, and people in positions of authority could exercise it without having to deal with millions of dollars in litigation over it. Kayla Lemieux should have been shown the door the first day he showed up to school like that. When more time is spent agonizing over his rights to gender expression than the farce he made out of his classroom and that school, something is wrong. This is a really good example of what rallies the Trumpers etc. They aren't afraid to lay into it, and that takes at least some courage.

There's a lot wrong with them, and a lot good with them. The technology is maturing and when it's cost-effective to hook them up with the grid and not going to be disruptive to communities, it's a no-brainer. The problem is that so much money got flushed down through schemes with immature tech, total incompetence and even outright corruption that now there's not much patience for spending there. Ontario wants nothing to do with it now thanks to Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne. We spent something like $13B 10+ years ago on solar and wind handouts and now that generates a whopping 3-4% of our energy mix, as we scramble to scale our nuclear capacity back up to make up for the debacle. The other matter is how intrusive and disruptive they are. We sold our cottage back in 2013 because the UAW decided to build a giant, pointless wind-turbine on their union vacation complex less than half a mile from us (and right above the beach). There was no consultation with the community. They just went ahead and did it.

You would have a parrot. Nobody else wants to talk to you. 🤡

Speaking in a very general manner, about something very specific. Right... The only thing you're right about is that he was speaking to laypersons, but even that's generous. Gullible rubes is a better term. As for what was wrong, I already explained that. Who's upset here? I'm not the one whose guru is being clowned on. No, I claimed I supported him back in 2017/2018, and more specifically what he was saying about free speech after the Lyndsey Shephard controversy at my Alma Mater. Where are you going with this? Did you figure there was some contradiction here? 😑

What part? What he actually said is even dumber. Here's the transcript, when he's bullshitting about seratonin: "We diverged from lobsters 350-600 million years go, and it's the same circuit" (which is retarded) "it's absolutely unbelievable and it shows you how deep inside you how basic primordial that circuit is in you" He argues that lobster neurochemistry is the same as human (at least when it comes to serotonin), which is absurd considering the former is an insect-brained crustacean with 1/1,000,000th the number of neurons that a human brain has, with neurochemical complexity differences to match. Serotonin affects both organisms completely differently, with it predictably promoting aggression in lobsters, where in humans it has all sorts of varied and complex interactions and usually does the opposite. Peterson probably knows this, but doesn't care, because he also knows that the gullible rubes that follow him are never going to scrutinize or question him. He's validating their feelings, and that's all that matters. If he was just talking about how hierarchies exist in the natural world, and how baser instincts are natural parts of the human experience, I suspect most people would agree with him. The lobster fantasy is utterly absurd however, and it's only one of the more famous examples of this once-respected academic torching his own credibility.

That's how it is in lobster hierarchies, and we share common ancestry 300 million years ago (which is wrong, but these sorts of details don't matter when you're talking nonsense authoritatively to a gullible audience and telling them what they want to hear.) It's just the natural way of things. 🫠

No, what's clear is that your perception and understanding of him is like Build-a-Bear. You pick and choose the parts that you want to include, and you discard/ignore all the parts that make him into the clown he really is. Your "listening" to Jordan Peterson no doubt amounts to watching Youtube clips of him "DESTROYING/OWNING LIB", and blissfully ignore all of the absurd, batshit nonsense he spouts that remove any credibility he might otherwise have have. Go watch a video of him talking about Ukraine, and how it's all NATO's fault. Then come back here and try to reconcile that with how you've argued against those points on this forum. I'll wait. 🙃

You didn't ask me what I didn't agree with. You projected your own conclusions on why I didn't like him. Uh, yes - almost everything. Jordan Peterson is just an lolcow now, to be milked for laughs while he rants hysterical nonsense to gullible, uninformed people who he in turn milks for cash and attention. Whether it's promoting Kremlin propaganda points, or giving his absurdly uninformed theories of evolution, he's tailoring his content for his audience, and wrapping it in a pseudo-intellectual package. He's just a shitty lifestyle brand now - a dumb person's intellectual.

No, I agreed with what he was saying back in 2017/2018, specifically about free speech and the culture of suppression and political correctness being cultivated in universities. What at one point appeared to be a very articulate, principled stance against censorship and group-think morphed into a rage-farming clown show that stands for nothing but notoriety. Jordan Peterson is just another cringe edgelord now.

This is true, and in the early days of Jordan Peterson's fame I supported him and thought he was a pretty smart dude, bravely speaking out against the thought-police at universities etc. Since then, he's become a charlatan and a circus act - just a loud grievance peddler cashing out on angst and making notoriety and attention the goal, rather than the consequence of what he says.

Why would I? That wasn't your question. 🙃

No, not at all, just the ones that listen to what he's saying and don't realize how full of shit he is. 🙃 A large portion of the folks voting Conservative in the next election will be doing so in spite of Poilievre, not because of him. They'll be voting against the turd-burglar.

I will vote Conservative. Trudeau is a a disaster and Jagmeet was the worthless loser who enabled him for the last 9 years. I can't stand Pierre Poilievre and think he's full of shit and playing to the dumbest and most ignorant parts of the electorate, but that's still going to be better than Trudeau and the Liberals who've followed him. I'll take a chance on a angry clown rather than continuing the guaranteed disaster we've lived through over the last half decade and more.

I like Carney and have a lot of respect for him. If he joins Trudeau's government I will lose all respect for him. Trudeau's management of Canada's finances are the worst that Canada's ever seen, and it's not even close. It cannot be understated how bad of a job he's done here, and attaching your name to that would be a sign of poor political judgement and a lack of respect for the average voter's intelligence.

No, that's just your cope - the flimsy mirage you put up to convince yourself that your lack of employment/housing/internet is a noble sacrifice you've made for your "good fight". You sacrificed nothing. You just don't have stuff and LARP that it was a choice. Since your posts are nothing but boring conspiracy word-salad and copy-pasted junk, and because I suspect you've some actual mental health issues, it's best to put you on ignore and never think about you again. Have a life.
