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 …

I give less credibility to people who have *only* criticisms of another person's ideas & collect all & any negative assessment of any aspect of anything they've every said. It indicates dislike of an individual rather than a balanced, thorough & honest engagement with ideas.

"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.

Replying to @thatyellowfog @Manglewood and
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!

so this isn't my field but i could dump a pile of cites from labor economists and the argument I've seen from Peterson himself is one I'm able to evaluate in my own field of expertise as not appropriately accounting for causality - what do you have?

Please do dump them! I'd be very interested to see an analysis which still finds a significant gap once different choices made are accounted for. I think Claudia Goldin is the most cited on the problem with analyses which don't account for this.https://harvardmagazine.com/2016/05/reassessing-the-gender-wage-gap …

Note of course Goldin is saying there is a gap. http://www.nber.org/papers/w21913 Here's a recent overview.
