For Peterson hoering for billionaires is far more lucrative than doing academic work.
Jord an Pet erson: Why I am no longer a tenured professor at the U of Toronto

looks like ejmr is overrun with pepperson fanboy. yikes. the guy is a cra.nk.
Crank? Almost got tenure at Harvard, tenured at Toronto, influential and successful. He the opposite of a crank. If you're pro-woke, anti-liberty and anti free speech then I can see why you would see him this way. You need to get out of your echo chamber and deprogram yourself from CRT poison.

Peterson was interesting for 15 minutes, then really had nothing more to say.
I mean at least his advice mostly lines up with what a CBT trained therapist would tell you to do.
Contrast that with his female analog Glennon DoyleHe does give good advice, and it is fun to watch him bamboozle interviewers trying to corner him every now and then, but otherwise what posters have said about beating the same drum is spot on.

"supremely trained"
On that point he’s right. UT is an HRM in clinical psych.
A slight follow up- I do not enjoy how the media paint Peterson as a backwater crank. Getting a job at Toronto is HARD. Getting tenure at Toronto is even harder. Peterson is probably in the top 0.1% or the field, it’s not like he’s art laffer or Lisa cook. He’s not even coasting on his past accomplishments to bully platforms into broadcasting him yelling at clouds (Kruggles or Summers). He’s treated like a freakshow
I agree and disagree.
It's true that JP was a very accomplished researcher. His main field is personality traits, and within that field it's fair to say he is world class and anyone who dismisses any thoughts he has on that subject is silly. It's also fair to say that means he is not unintelligent or incompetent.
But the further he moves afield from those topics the less authority he speaks with. When he is talking about anything that is not particularly related to psychology or personality traits, he has no mor authority than any other reasonably intelligent person.
To be fair to him, he usually seems fairly aware of this distinction. If you hear him talk, he usually frames it as "here is some well-informed stuff about psychology, and here is my opinion about wokism.". He doesn't really try to pass himself off as some polyglot expert on everything (see the Weinsteins for an example of being terrible in this respect). But his fans do some of it for him.

Agreed. Also people need to stay in their lane- and Peterson is better about it than most (some are better but none as famous as he is). I don’t care too much about the woke nonsense either way. I do like how he’s framed proactively taking care of oneself in an appealing way for a population that’s incredibly hard to reach.

D I E is the appropriate acronym.
Peterson is one of the greats.Peterson stoll my DIE joke yesterday I posted it on ejrm
It’s one of those things where the joke is so obvious a million people thought of it at the same time. Probably in an interminable DEI seminar

He isn't talking about climate change or another field where there is a legitimate scientific discussion. It's impossible to be an expert at criticizing wokeism because it doesn't exist as an academic field. Wokeism is an academic field and it's a joke.

I ha/te to break it to you but Pepperson isn't that good of an academic. Same with other right wing guys like Gad Saad. They are mediocre at best. I'm in fact quite suprprised that Pepperson has a job at UofT.

Why do you keep at/tacking him? You have no life?

I'm not attacking anyone. He's simply not an academic heavyweight. SAme with saad, pinker, weinstein, etc. They're all mediocre at best. And psychology as a field isn't exactly for the brilliant minds out there. Even Ta/l/eb thinks Pepperson is a cr/ank.

Look at the sudden surge in upvotes of OP and bootlickers of JP posting on the first page. It's definitely a VPN at work, some cray cray white nationalist must be at work here

Suggesting Pinker’s a lightweight shows you’re a clown. Pinker’s like Krugman- well past it, but in his prime he changed the field. Saad- dunno who that is. Weinstein is a never has been.
