ICTChris Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I’m not saying Peterson is terrific or anything. It’s a fact that he was a respected academic, his work was widely cited and seen as valuable. He was a professor at Harvard. This is all before he became well known and, as far as I know, not much of his research was about the culture-war/discourse stuff that he’s known for now. Now he’s posting videos of wanking machines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect some academics were scared to admit they couldn't make sense of his gobbledygook in case he turned out to be the new Carl Jung or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transcript of his lecture near the end was a great illustration of his egotistical nonsense. It actually read like a Trumpian word salad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Robert Kennedy Jr is running for president as a Democrat. He spiralled down an anti-vax rabbit hole years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Saw Scott Adams getting mentions a few pages back. A while ago, I picked up an old Dilbert book from a charity shop, and it had a random epilogue from Adams about how he got wealthy by writing "I want to be rich" down on a piece of paper ten times, and eventually he tricked the multiverse into believing he was a wealthy Scott Adams from another timeline. I believe it's called "Cosmic Ordering". He's been a credulous loon for decades, and one filled with hate too, judging by those AOL screen names. Edit: Cosmic Ordering makes an appearance in an episode of the IT Crowd. Linehan didn't seem to be a fan then, but presumably he's hoping that if he tweets enough about trans people it'll all come true.

ICTChris Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Noel Edmonds was a proponent of Cosmic Ordering as well. RFK Jr is a strange man. It must be strange coming from a dynasty like his, it would be impossible not to feel pressure to be successful, make your mark etc. You can almost see how that could mix with the self-confidence of a ultra-priveledged upper class upbringing and produce someone who would take positions like he does. Of course, his life history features pretty significant trauma - can't be easy losing your father at 14 let alone in the way he did. His recent private life has a lot of sadness in it as well, you can see an uptick in his unhingedness around the time of some of it. Not to make excuses for him but you can kind of see the mechanism.
