Is there no one in all of Canada willing to re-educate Jordan Peterson? Is there not one “social media expert” with a background in clinical psychology who is willing to take three months, at a minimum, to engage Dr. Jordan Peterson in the deep, hard work of relearning everything he’s ever known about climate change, biology, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau? Per Peterson’s latest missive in the National Post, it appears not.
LOL:
>Part of the problem with finding someone to take on the task could have to do with Peterson’s questions to The College as to how the qualifications of the “social media expert” would be determined. He had asked: “By what standards do you accredit your ‘social media experts’? Is that a regulated profession? Are these experts also versed in the complexities of clinical psychology? How else can they improve the professional activities of a psychological practitioner? Is there any concrete, published and peer-reviewed evidence that the tender lessons they purport to provide actually produce an improvement in the behaviour of those they ‘educate?’ By what objective criteria are you going to measure my improvement, in that regard? Are there standardized tests of such progression? How were those standards established, if they exist?”
>The College put him through public shaming and an expensive, lengthy trial, complete with appeals, before determining that his fate was to be re-educated. Peterson said that he would submit and that, for the sake of the public, the entire undertaking would be recorded and broadcast on YouTube. He was told he would have to pay the re-educator himself, that the length of the re-education was not up to him but up to the re-educator, that he would have to pay for every scheduled session the re-educator determined he should have, and that he had only three months from the meting out of the judgment to get underway.
It’s official, we actually lost the Cold War and now have collectively become the Soviet Union.
