I'd tell them to pound sand.

It's worse than fired. It's his license on the line.

I dunno . . . being kicked out of this group might be a good thing.
Having a clinical license revoked due to the politics someone holds isn't good. It's bad. You should be able to see why the implications are bigger than the incident.
Please love yourself.

Agreed. Not sure if he has even been in clinic the past number of years. Too busy on the lecture circuit, then rehab then back to being a media persona on all topics including those the he has no clue such as international affairs and security.

Yes, if he loses his license the irony is he'll be unable to talk about the stuff he really knows about and be free to pontificate at great length on all the things he doesn't.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

I haven't heard him pontificate about stuff he knows nothing about. Where he errs, at times, IMO, is in giving platforms to people who allegedly know what they're talking about, but are off the deep end on those subjects.
Education is extremely important.

Least he gives it a shot, I'd say.

True enough, however I will cut him some slack on the question of Putin’s personal psychology.Peterson is spot on as far as I’m concerned. As he should be, after all, human psychology is his profession and I am confident that he is more than just a little competent in that area.
In the following clip Peterson fails to mention in his defence that the reason he was criticised was his stated reliance on the dubious analysis of the conflict of John Mearsheimer:
Link to videoHe really ought to stay close to human and social psychology and not stray too far beyond.
I truly do think he has a lot of valid points in his sphere of expertise.

Good conversation with lots to think about here, between Jordan and his daughter:
Link to videoWe often hear from the left that the right represents an "existential threat" in various ways, but those ways are inevitably some broad-scale slippery slope where an entire society might be wrested into the control of tyrants.
To cherry pick one small point he made during the discussion - Jordan says that fear can be classified into two categories. Fear of biological deterioration such as death, injury, and infirmity, and fear of social exclusion. Both classes of fear are equally meaningful and existential. As the left bandies about the idea that the right represents these abstract existential threats, it also wields as a weapon, the threat of social exclusion against anybody who doesn't toe their line ideologically. From an evolutionary standpoint, social exclusion really did mean death. That's a point I've made here in the past. It's why, if you don't consider cultural programming as central to the thoughts and feels of the masses, you're missing out on the the best way to make sense of anything at all. The price of not following along with the culture, is existential. We're wired that way, and it's why, if you want to understand people's thoughts and feels, you have to understand their programming. You also have to understand, which side is able to make credible threats of social exclusion?
