‘Up Yours Woke Moralists!’ Jordan Peterson Announces He’s Launching a ‘University’ Without Accreditation

So... he created his own safe space?

Only real men who have their house in order, at the peak of human intelligence, grift the most mentally unstable, and attack the most vulnerable, members of society; get addicted to benzos and fly to Russia to be put in a medically induced coma to avoid enduring the consequences of their actions, ostracise themselves professionally, then spend the rest of their lives a talking head for the right wing propaganda machine.
You're just to woke to understand his genius...
- Hi, woke moralist here. Please reconsider framing addiction as a moral failing. It's a disease.

So, another PragerU?

KermitU
- That is an insult to the Muppets and the memory of Jim Henson.

Jordan Peterson announces he's launching a new scam.

I hope someday he gets the help he needs so he can leave everyone alone.

He tried to get the help he needed in Russia. It did not go well.
- At least he didn't go to China. I've seen what they do to people there. Peterson showed me.

A new age of anti-intellectualism awaits us.

The new age of anti-intellectualism persists. Continues. Stubbornly endures.

Those who can, do.

Those who can't, open their own university and grift people.

all you really need to do is say stuff with conviction that supports a groups politics and sound vaguely plausable/intelligent while you do it. they will then tout you as an infallible expert
I’m neither smart nor well educated, but the biggest mistake I made in my life was underestimating how widespread deep stupidity seems to be.
- George Carlin — 'Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.'

Cool, well, HR software can add a filter for his university so apps get auto rejected.

Grifters gonna grift.

Haven't we already tried Trump U and Praeger U?

This is just one more embarrassment for the conservative movement.

The former psychology professor vowed the program would be 95% less expensive than a typical university.

Not that hard when I look at what the hell American universities cost.

Of course, they give you real degrees.
- Yes, but none of that money was going into his pockets.

jordan peterson cooking up a whole new type of idiot. can't wait to see the first cohort of freethinkers launch a series of startups based on stuff like reselling the breadsticks from olive garden

Grifters gonna grift.

Now the right is devaluing the word university. SMH…

The dorm room policy is gonna be strict af

Because people on Lemmy will be inspired to take his "university" courses? I doubt it.

Narcissism never ends.

I thought he did this 5 years ago, and then never heard anything of it again. Was that a fever dream, or did he fail to find his blackjack and hookers?

I think back then he was going to create an alternative to Patreon.
- I think it was before that, but after publishing lists of U of T faculty he wanted his incel army to harass and threaten.

I’m here for it. Go Croaking Cryers curling team!
