        Steven, if you're the sort of person I think you are, you'll one day regret assisting in the propagation of this man's fame by attaching your good name to him. With great respect, this was a mistake. His delusions dwarf in magnitude and number the "blank slate" beliefs you oppose

        ? Pinker has done podcasts with people like Albert Mohler that have been very informative and entertaining, despite obviously disagreements about the world. It's ok to talk!!

        What was written in that article that seems to convince you, as is the author, that Peterson is dangerous ?

        The article correctly documents Peterson's naked bigotry, his willingness to lie, his demagoguery, and his frightening ideas, such as enforced monogamy, the climate of fear he has created especially among women colleagues who might otherwise answer him, &c. You should read it.

        Replying to @thebeartiger @Kamy050 and

        And the article doesn't even address what I consider most frightening about Peterson, and that is his conception of truth, which, if successful in our culture, I believe could literally threaten the existence of civilization. I'd be happy to explain further.

        I haven't listened to the podcast yet, but I have to assume you haven't, either. Pinker has mentioned in the past that their outlooks on psychology could not be more different. This was presumably their chance to clear the air about the false comparisons being made between them.

        There are entire grades at school that is pure pseudosciense. Feminist Gender studies is just one of them to start. Just shit neomarxist that brings the war betwen classes to the familie context.

        Could you quote me or link one pseudoscientific claim that is made at those “grades”? Where is “feminist gender studies” a course and could you quote or link a pseudoscientific claim that is made in it? Links to course material would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

        This looks like someone’s thesis and not course material. Is there any particular pseudoscientific claim you can pinpoint in this thesis? The abstract doesn’t seem to make any claim.

        I don’t know how it works in Brazil but in the US and Canada these courses do not impose PoVs, but rather explore ideas from thinkers and are generally pretty “boring” stuff. Have you seen any of these courses yourself or are you basing all this on thesis titles?
