see the Peterson and science section for a number of pretty devastating refutations of Peterson's understanding of lobster biology, the gender pay gap, and personality testing.https://www.patreon.com/posts/jordan-peterson-17972181 …

"balanced assessment" doesn't mean positive and negative if the ideas are bad. Would you downrate someone for not linking to positive assessments of Nazis? Why not read the links and decide if you agree or disagree?
-
So we go from “scientists like him” to “I don’t trust scientists who don’t like him”. Convenient little maneuver to dismiss any and all critiques.

I'm supposed to take seriously a man who tells people what to do based on what lobsters do, and gets even that wrong? What are these empirically correct statements which he's supposed to have made? Honestly curious.
-
It's inaccurate to claim the man has made no correct statements, or no empirical statements. And it's naive and foolish to consider him stupid, as many people do. I don't know about "empirically correct", but his discussion of the gender pay gap is certainly empirically grounded.

what?! his discussion of the gender pay gap is where he gets precipitously owned by actual economists.
-
Actual economists debunk the gender pay gap routinely!
-
uh, it's pretty well-established in the literature.
-
Adding 'uh' to the front of claims doesn't make them stronger. If you just mean it is established that women earn less than men, it is. If you mean it is established that this is caused by paying women less than men for the same job or by cultural conditioning, it is not.

That's Berlatsky's specialty. Always grinding that axe.

My advice: don't waste your time on him because he doesn't come in good faith.

They all share the same alt-left worldview. Look at their other articles. it's a hilarious echo chamber of rote responses and nonsense jargon. My favourite is how they comment on how much money he makes and how that's a bad thing. Poor anti-capitalist bloggers can't get a break.
