I keep Googling everyone who criticises Jordan Peterson and they ALL have arts degrees. Nothing against arts degrees by the way. But it's just funny the correlation between hating Peterson and having no scientific background...https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2018/may/23/jordan-peterson-public-intellectual-isnt-clever-violent-men-monogamy?CMP=share_btn_tw …

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.
-
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!
