Jordan Peterson learns that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences
Jordan Peterson disciplinary action for alleged behaviour that violated his code of conduct as a psychologist.

My favourite Jordan Peterson story is how he got himself addicted to benzodiazepines and then felt he knew better than all of western science so he flew over to Russia to be put into a medically induced coma to overcome withdrawals since it was “too hard on him”
Unsurprisingly, the procedure had many complications and left him requiring extra medical attention for him to recover from the procedure.
Wonder if he ever kicked his benzo habit…
You forgot the best part. Before doing that he was (and probably still is) against medicating yourself out of addictions because it's the "easy way out". His entire shtick is about the right way of living and then he acts contrarily to his own teachings.
Rules for thee, not for me
Yeah, lying sacks of shit will do that.
For some perspective being thrust into public eye world wide and having your daughter and wife with life threatening medical issues will do a number on you. He is still a dingus but things are rarely black and white.
He should have cleaned his room if he felt things were getting tough.
If your advice for dealing with life turns to shit when life gets challenging, how useful was it ever?
My favorite is when someone asked him "Do you believe in God" and he was caught between his reputation as an "intellectual" and the fact that the apes he grifts are gonna hoot extra loud and fling extra poo if he says no. Recognizing that he was between a rock and a hard place, he gave one of the most amusing non-responses I've ever heard in my life. What he said was, from memory, "That depends on what you mean by 'do', 'you', 'believe' and 'God'." He then blathered on for a minute about how he thinks of God as a symbol for the human capacity for goodness and he believes in that, and no one asked why the symbol for the human capacity for goodness hates trans people and needs money, so everyone left satisfied.
He’s an “intellectual” to idiots and a moron to anyone with some critical thinking capacity
He's the perfect post-modern intellectual, which is rather funny when you consider how anti-postmodernism he is. He's a media image of an intellectual, all big words and expensive suits, but his big words don't really mean anything. The fucking "chaos dragon of feminity" is a hilariously stupid concept that rivals the shit Freud came up with when the cocaine was extra pure, but they eat it up. He and the rest of the so-called "intellectual dark web" provide a thin veneer of logic and rationality to the visceral hate that the alt right runs on, and it makes sense to people who really want and need it to make sense. He gives people the ability to be led around by their emotions and still feel like not only are they not being ruled by fear, but that they're actually on a level above everyone who doesn't accept the "cold hard truth" that we all need to be racist, homophobic, xenophobic and basically terrified all of the time.
Oh ffs say it already. You don't understand anything he says. It's fine to be under average
I just don't know what he meant when he said "Don't debate with women because they can't think". It's a great big old mystery because he's just so smart and I'm here in my messy room with the feminine dragon of chaos and no one has peed on my face recently.
Can you provide a source for that? My Google fu is failing me
I dislike him precisely because I understand what he says. You’d understand too if you had capacity to critically think. I’m rooting for ya!
Realising how precarious a pedestal the far right built him would be a rare moment of self awareness. He's B-grade meat to them, so they'd Milo him in a heartbeat.
He knows where his money comes from. He's not stupid, he's evil.
Isn't it odd that every time anything that's an ally of the GOP ends up in Russia of all places?
It’s almost like the GOP colludes with Russia.
