A beautiful and heartbreaking explanation of why @jordanbpeterson has now formally joined the ranks of the academic exiles. Jordan Peterson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at the University of Toronto. nationalpost.com/opinion/jordan…
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson I recently acquired this wall hanging, and it seems apripo to share it here. Also for Ween fans. You know who you are, and you know the Stallion...
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson He didn’t like his job anymore so he quit. And, he can totally do that because he has much more lucrative income sources, which is great. Is your little heart broken by every person who quits a job they no longer need, Bret?
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson I worried about this for a while; maybe that's not the best verb, but I hope you know what I mean. I thought it was unlikely. Did something happen? Reading... Thanks for letting us know. Onwards! 👍
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson Remember when universities welcomed discussions and disagreements, teaching students to approach topics from different angles with open minds? Boy, that was a fun idea. Better stick with indoctrination and censorship, they’ll be much better equipped for life outside campus.
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson I don't think we can blame the people going along with this anymore than I can blame my dog when she takes my burrito from the coffee table. I'm the one that left it there and walked away. She's a dog. If I leave a burrito on the table, she's going to eat it.
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson It is neither beautiful nor heartbreaking. It’s damn near unreadable because Jordan Peterson has hit his “writing while in the paranoid throes of withdrawal” stage of his career. Reading this was like eating a mold salad.
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson I found a smidge in the middle I agreed with but JP didn't bother to support it. The answer to the headline came really early, explaining financial incentive... "including the fact that I can now teach many more people and with less interference online." Rambling and specious.
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson "i had to turn in my tenure and none of my grad students can get jobs. this is NOT my fault, by the way." Heartbreaking...
@BretWeinstein @jordanbpeterson Been reading the responses here. The amount of hate levelled at you both is literally sickening. None of the ire seems to be directed at the contents of the post. Twitter engagement = projections of psychological problems.
