Jordan Peterson rage quit his university with a White Supremacist-friendly rant [update, mental illness crisis in progress]

[DrBanneker]

Remember intellectuals used to think blacks were inferior scientifically

Many still do. More than you would like to think.

 

[I Really Mean It]

TL/DR

Jordan Peterson claims that:
3. Most BIPOC candidates are unqualified in his view and a lot of those unqualified minorities keep getting hired anyway

He never said this.

 

[Matt504]

He never said this.

revisit his second reason.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

He never said this.

Here are his exact words:

Not least because there simply is not enough qualified BIPOC people in the pipeline to meet diversity targets quickly enough (BIPOC: black, indigenous and people of colour, for those of you not in the knowing woke). This has been common knowledge among any remotely truthful academic who has served on a hiring committee for the last three decades.


Followed by:

Just exactly what am I supposed to do when I meet a graduate student or young professor, hired on DIE grounds? Manifest instant skepticism regarding their professional ability? What a slap in the face to a truly meritorious young outsider. And perhaps that’s the point.




He's clearly claiming that there are so many unqualified BIPOC candidates getting hired that he should rationally be skeptical of the abilities of any BIPOC hire he meets.

I read it more as the fact meritorious qualification is taking a backseat to quotas, it’s difficult for him to assess the scholarship of BIPOC students or academics. I don’t believe he is saying there aren’t qualified candidates. I’m not necessarily agreeing with him, but it’s more nuanced than you’ve framed it.

He didn't say it was "difficult for him to assess". He said that a qualified BIPOC candidate would NEVER be missed but that qualified White males find it almost IMPOSSIBLE to get hired and that there are NEVER enough qualified BIPOC candidates so they keep hiring unqualified ones.

And he suggested very clearly that he should just assume a BIPOC candidate he meets isn't qualified, even though by his view every BIPOC candidate who is qualified gets hired easily. Why would he even think of making that assumption unless he believes that most BIPOC hires aren't qualified?

@I Really Mean It , do you find any of these statements to be untrue?



1. Jordan Peterson believes the pool of qualified white males is far larger than the # of spaces available for them in academia

2. Jordan Peterson believes the pool of qualified BIPOC candidates is far smaller than the # of spaces available for them in academia

3. Jordan Peterson doesn't believe White privilege exists in any way, shape, or form

4. Jordan Peterson is an IQ determinist who believes that IQ largely shapes who is qualified for certain roles


Any of those four statements false?

1. Yes, off the simple fact white males don’t face systemic obstacles that hinder the attainment of academic credentials. There will always, for as long as white supremacy thrives, be a surplus of qualified white male candidates.

2. I think many of the BIPOC candidates aren’t subject to the same scrutiny their white peers are, because of relaxed standards in response to diversity concerns. Does this mean they’re not as qualified? I think that’s a deeper discussion than reducing it to a simple comparison between the challenges faced by whites and BIPOC. One can argue that many BIPOC, as a result of the racism they anticipate, go above and beyond over the course of their studies so that there is no question of their qualifications.

3. No

4. No

I wasn't asking if you believed them. I was asking if you think Jordan Peterson believes each of those things.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

He's really gone mask off:

 

[Professor Emeritus]

On a different note, his twitter is insane. He's posting like someone in the throes of a mental health crisis.

We're witnessing the inevitable result of a meat only diet. He has brain worms.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Man WTF he lost it. I remember when it was "clean up your room, be the best you can be, hold yourself to the same standards you hold others to". His arguments against mandatory pronouns were sensible. But now? fukk this guy

This meltdown is amazing.

Jordan Peterson has tweeted images of killer clowns, spectres, the joker, and Ursula, 59 times in only the last 5 days.

There are no signs of stopping.

Update: theres been 8 more since this post.....

He posted the evil clown from It or the Joker or something similar 10+ times a day for at least 6 days in a row. That was a month ago and he's still posting disturbing clown pictures multiple times a day, in addition to his own newly coined insults and that weird freeform twitter haiku.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Also what got referenced in that thread, apparently he posted a picture of bizarre Asian fetish porn believing it was real, and complained that the Chinese Communist Party was milking semen so that....well, the purpose is unclear, but they're Communist so obviously it was evil.
