Let's talk about Jordan Peterson and his strange IQ takes and how they make me FEEL.

They said, paraphrased, "Actually Peterson is from Canada and supports their healthcare system. Doesn't that challenge your point on his conservatism" The answer? Not really. While Peterson is broadly a conservative, of course I recognise that universal healthcare is the status quo position in most places where it exists and that he supports it. My point here was not about particular policies he doesn't support, but about the incoherence of his claim that "shovelling money down the hierarchy" is so profoundly difficult because people are too stupid. To make that point, he has to disregard obvious solutions to this problem. Footnote Two, on the subject of Race and IQ: I assume some fans of Peterson will think I am straw-manning him or taking him out of context on this point. I am not. It is impossible to watch this video and think he doesn't believe certain races, including black people, are genetically different with regard to IQ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h02w5E7FGlY&t=565s. And he has, on multiple occasions, lent support to the Bell Curve. I don't think my claim here is controversial at all, to be honest. Here is Shaun's incredible video on the Bell Curve, if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBc7qBS1Ujo&t=103s Peterson clips in order of rough appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Kn5p7TP_Y&t=2870s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-Ur71ZnNVk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XCyNwZArkE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF8F7tjmy_U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb5cBkbQpGY&t=6360s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY4sShDt9to&t=2286s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlW5A4EoWtQ&t=454s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twc6T19tap4&t=927s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHdmiAhhnvM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o73pqQ9Gzt4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6gwiN_Aqg4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M01XrJ7Govo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs_RG4DHtB4&t=243s Articles I used: https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/sendhil/files/976.full_.pdf https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jordan-peterson-why-i-am-no-longer-a-tenured-professor-at-the-university-of-toronto https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/darwin-was-wrong-your-facial-expressions-do-not-reveal-your-emotions/
