Jordan Peterson to get “retrained?”

@Doctor-Phibes said in Jordan Peterson to get “retrained?”:
I have to admit I do find it quite funny that we can all see the silliness of comparisons between Ontario and Pope Innocent III, but not with Adolf Hitler.
What do you mean, "we can all see"? I didn't mention Hitler in any of my above responses.
I did describe where I think comparisons between Nazism and this kind of behavior exist, so instead of speaking for me maybe reread what I said to Renauda.

And I didn't mention Pope Innocent III.
You did accuse me of disliking Catholics, however - so 10 demerit points to you! I never accused you of disliking Canadians, or for that matter Nazis.
I was only joking

Neither did I, so fuck this.
Please love yourself.

Coincidence?

I think a comparison to intolerant religious thinking is more appropriate. The Nazis are too extreme. There was little well-meaning about them, and many on the woke side are well-meaning,.
It's probably not the case that Nazi supporters considered themselves to be ill-meaning at the time.

As did English Puritans believe they were doing God’s work in their day.
I think Phibe’s juxtaposition of the modern day Jacobinism, presently called wokism, with the religious intolerance of earlier times is quite appropriate. One of the tangible consequences of both is the emergence of a populist led cancel culture in society.

A number of my ancestors were Methodists, so we didn't hate anybody, but a number of my older relatives did have a rather disapproving attitude to the consumption of alcoholic beverages, which I have endeavoured to redress.

Peterson loses appeal in free speech battle
Dr. Jordan Peterson has lost his free speech court battle against the College of Psychologists of Ontario (again).
An Ontario court dismissed his appeal as first reported by the National Post.
No statement from the court was provided.
In August, the Ontario Divisional Court sided against Peterson after deliberating over his right to free speech versus the right of the Ontario College of Psychologists to regulate what licensed psychologists can say in public.
Initially, the College requested Peterson’s voluntary participation to receive social media training in response to public complaints about his online conduct. Peterson declined.
The College subsequently ordered Peterson to undergo the training, and mandated that he finance it.
Peterson took the issue to court, arguing that his Charter right to freedom of expression had been violated.
There are no further opportunities for Dr. Peterson to appeal the decision, making it final.
He will either be forced to undergo whatever social media training is required by the College, or he can refuse and risk having his clinical psychologist license stripped.
Peterson has previously said he will record whatever training he receives.
“I’ll comply with their regulations, but I’m not going to do it in secret… And the reason I’m not going to do it in secret is because I don’t believe I’ve done anything wrong,” he said in August 2023.

A bit more to it than what that “report” states:
Peterson’s comments did not run afoul of any Canadian laws.
Rather, they were found to have contravened specific rules that exist for psychologists, a regulated profession.
“When individuals join a regulated profession, they do not lose their Charter right to freedom of expression,” says the ruling by the Ontario Divisional Court from August. “At the same time, however, they take on obligations and must abide by the rules of their regulatory body that may limit their freedom of expression.”
Essentially the courts do not want to get involved in disputes between licensed professions and their regulatory colleges.

[Cynic hat on]
Presumably he makes a lot more money from his non-psychological stuff than he does from his old job, so this is going to be a good opportunity for yet more publicity. -

I wonder how much time he spends actually treating patients (one-on-one) and teaching.

I kind of liked his common-sense stuff a few years back. Now he seems to just opine on everything - social issues, politics, religion, dating, drinking, the list is endless. I'm half expecting him to start reviewing saxophone mouthpieces (something I waste far too much time watching)

I think the constant attacks from the left have driven him into this much more across the board conservative political position, he is where they have pushed him to be.
I would like to see him go to the reeducation clinics and film them. Challenge them when necessary and appropriate.

Absolutely. The video may do an epic amount of good.

Interesting take. Probably accurate too.

He claims he will be recording the proceedings.

He doesn’t practice anymore, this is just about the principle. I am sure anybody can relate to the frustration of being held accountable by nameless faceless people who do not explain themselves and who have no obligation to do so. Reminds me of an HOA.
Education is extremely important.

I happen to work in that area, and find your comments deeply offensive.

That is how it is for regulated professions like psychologists, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physio-therapists, physicians and surgeons, engineers, architects, geologists, barristers and solicitors, accountants and pharmacists to name but a few. Generally it is understood and accepted and in the case of health care professionals appreciated when employers attempt to assign duties and responsibilities upon their membership that is outside of their scope of practice. The regulatory college intervenes on behalf of its membership. All provincial regulatory colleges have set codes of conduct which the members must agree to adhere in order to maintain to their license to practice within the jurisdiction of the College.
Dr. Peterson would not only know and understand this but would also accept it.
