Hey Geoff, so people can find the study unpersuasive or even distasteful. That is the nature of the business of viewpoint diversity. But I do want to correct the record on some of the claims made here. Let's start with the idea it is a betrayal of our nonpartisan mission

The authors on this piece include 1) a conservative associated with the Madison center at Princeton, 2) a libertarian who happens to be a JBP fan and engage a lot of his work, and then me.

Although I caucus with the left, as it were, I dedicate a huge portion of my scholarly attention to deconstructing prejudicial studies about conservatives, Trump voters, Republicans, etc. If anything, this was a modelling of viewpoint diversity and collaboration across difference

Now on to the guilt by association charge. First, we painstakingly insist there is no such guilt. That we do not believe that Peterson is himself alt-right, nor that he bears direct responsibility for people going that route, nor that he has a special obligation to stop thempic.twitter.com/31JxjhKujD

We also acknowledge that Peterson speaks out against them and has committed himself to pulling people out of these circles. We simply tried to evaluate his success in his own stated goal.
