OH NO! If that’s the audience, I don’t want to be popular – Freethought Blogs

This is an odd looking graph of traffic to my latest YouTube video.

You might want to congratulate me on that sudden surprising surge of traffic in the middle of the night, but dont. Apparently, thats when the magical YouTube algorithm started recommending the video to others, and it brought an influx of Peterson worshippers, as the comments reveal.

all these years and you still cant get 10 k subs??? JP just hit 5 million and growing. Youre in the final stage of your life, stop being so jelous. Btw, you shpould check out JPs interview with Roger Penrose, eat your heart out.

But heres the thing: Im not concerned about traffic. I look at the most popular videos on the medium, and its garbage like Pewdiepie and the Paul brothers and bizarre twisted animated childrens videos designed to milk clicks out of babies. Im content with my tiny little niche. Ive also got a real job, fortunately, and the $50 my channel brings in every month is fine.

Then there are the feeble defenses of Peterson:

Peterson clearly states that what he is saying is highly speculative. If your going to critique the man at least do it honestly.

Theres a whole bit in my video where I point out that Peterson is flinging about the word speculation as a get-out-of-jail-free card. Useful speculation has to be built on some kind of empirical, testable framework. Peterson is lazy and doesnt do the work of justifying it.

Most common, though, are the people who deny his transphobia (the thing that made him famous!) and have a knee-jerk hatred of social justice.

I realize Petersons claims about consciousness traveling up and down the micro and macro levels is nonsense, but so are the accusations of transphobia towards Peterson and Dawkins. Myers never really bothers to explain how theyre transphobic. At least not in this video. I think Myers should maybe spend more time investigating his own biases and irrationalism than those of Peterson if he has such obvious blind spots.

I thought Petersons transphobic comments have been so thoroughly covered elsewhere that I didnt have to discuss them, and could focus on where he intrudes stupidly on my area of expertise, biology. I guess I was wrong. Do I need to make my next video about that? Id rather not, because Peterson is such a twit.

Of course, there are still swarms of anti-SJW clowns out there.

I am not going to talk much about Peterson, but here is my problem. PZ Myers is supposed to be a scientist and yet he lets social justice which has nothing to do with Science leak in.

I help a Transgender person overseas and help feed him and fix his bike, so this isnt about hate or anything, but pronouns and having many sexes is against the Scientific data.Its more like a problem with the mind itself and social justice should not be mixed with Science.

This is why I am upset, because if you are a Scientist, you should have NOTHING TO DO WITH STUFF THATS NOT SCIENCE AT ALL, its more pseudoscience than actual real science.

Disappointed in you PZ, I thought you would be better than that.

This is really shameful and I think thats worse than whatever Peterson is going on about.

What Scientific data is against pronouns and having many sexes? I suspect he couldnt name anything.

Im also unsurprised that there are people who think social justice should not be mixed with Science, but then have no problem at all with the irrational, unjust garbage that Peterson freely mixes in to his science-free babbling.

I guess Im going to have to make more spider videos to flush away these clowns and get my traffic down where its supposed to be.

Johnny better get used to it – Freethought Blogs

Roy Edroso speculates about future Depp projects.

Saucy Jack vs. The Sea Hags. The woke Disney corporation wont revive the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise except in a feminazi version, but that doesnt mean we cant still have Johnny Depp riding the seven seas as legendary buccaneer Saucy Jack Grackle! In this totally separate and original IP hes put on a little weight, but hes still the drunk and disorderly rascal youve come to know and love. In his glad rags, mascara, and mannerisms he cuts a dashing figure and all the ladies love him except for the Sea-Hags, an eighteenth-century gang of nasty women who, damaged by daddy issues, roam the high seas in search of psychic compensation and plunder. They despise Jack Grackle for his roguish masculinity and have vowed to sink his ship The Dark Gem and to literally emasculate him! But Jack leads them on a merry chase with much derring-do and CGI, ending in a literally ravishing, literally climactic physical struggle with Hag Queen Millie Bobbie Brown in which he shows her what rolling in the deep really means and makes everything work out! With several of Hollywoods top young actresses as the Sea Hags (who, when they remove their spectacles and shake out their hair, are actually super hot) and, as Jacks pirate gang, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, and Ben Shapiro as Half-Pint. Special cameo by Tom Cruise as The Bitchmaster!

I like it. I wouldnt watch it, but I appreciate the authenticity of his crew, none of whom could act their way out of a soggy, weevily biscuit. Reality is that while something that blatant wouldnt get made, poor Johnny is going to have to resign himself to third tier movies and a lot of bad guy roles.

I also notice something in the comments over there: like me, a lot of lefties sat there quietly throughout the trial, doing their best to ignore it all. Maybe thats not the best strategy? You think?

Rogan revealed that after 10 days of following a strict carnivore diet, he saw a significant change in his body and also felt good. He said he lost his belly and dropped 7 pounds in the course of 11 days. Rogan revealed that he took inspiration from Jordan Peterson to take up this diet after he was told about the multiple benefits the diet had in Petersons life.

Its an elimination diet. So instead of your diet breaking down a bunch of different things, its just breaking down one thing. And this is one thing that human beings have been eating since the beginning of time. Like, this idea that human beings are herbivores is pretty much nonsense. One of the main reasons why we became what we are, they think, is because we started eating meat, said Rogan on the diet.

Jordan Peterson net worth: The controversial figure has this much wealth – Marca English

Jordan Peterson is a Canadian clinical psychologist, social commentator, author and professor of psychology, who is known for his somewhat controversial comments on political, social and cultural issues, but who over the course of his career has generated an enviable net worth.

Peterson was born on June 12, 1962, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, his mother was a librarian at Grande Prairie Regional College and his father was also a teacher, so from an early age he used to read authors such as George Orwell, Aldous Huxley and many others.

He attended Fairview High School and graduated in 1979. He then studied at Grande Prairie Regional College and majored in political science and English literature, later moving to the University of Alberta, where he would end up with a degree in political science.

In his need and quest to understand the underlying factors behind some of the thematic events that took place before his time, Peterson traveled to Europe to discover the psychological origins of 20th century European totalitarianism, as well as the Cold War.

Peterson later decided to study psychology and returned to the University of Alberta. In 1984 he earned a B.A. in the subject and then went on to McGill University in Montreal to earn his Ph.D.

In 1993, he began teaching at Harvard University, as an associate professor in the psychology department, where he also conducted much research while in the department, until 1998 when he returned to the University of Toronto to assume his duties as a full-time professor.

As a psychologist, Peterson focuses his interest on the psychology of religious and ideological beliefs. While teaching, he also practices; the professor conducts clinical sessions and offers psychological assistance to individuals as well.

Peterson is the author of the two books, Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief from 1999 and 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos in 2018 from 2018. He has also hosted his own podcast called The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast. He created Self Authoring Suite, which is a writing therapy program.

In 2016 Peterson gained notoriety thanks to a series of YouTube videos in which he criticized political correctness, as well as the Canadian government's Bill C-16, which added gender identity as 'compelled speech', making it mandatory to refer to someone who uses specific language.

According to sites like Celebrity Net Worth, Jordan Peterson's net worth is $8 million. Jordan claimed in 2019 that he was earning $80,000 per month from his Patreon account, in addition to $35,000 per share and approximately $200,000 per month from his consulting/clinical practice.

In addition, he receives royalties from his books, which are estimated at five million books sold so far and add to that other earnings coming from his YouTube channel, which has millions of subscribers.
