Has Peterson been offering advice to Donald Trump?

I only realised after clicking in that this post is a year old but just because it's relevant, this offering came up on my feed last week. I was a bit disturbed as to what Peterson was saying with his Virgin Mother coat in the Musk interview.

This has been a relatively long running thread, with fits and starts of posts overtime, but nevertheless worth while. Thanks for the vid.

Black Swan

Jordan Peterson has a new focus during the past few months. Several vids on women ages 18 to 34 being more woke. Is Peterson attempting to create another storm in a teacup to draw attention to himself by trolling young women?

For example, he claims that in the last 30 years there has been an “increased female domination of the university system,” suggesting this in pejorative terms. He further intimated that this was one of the reasons he left university employment.

The Chronicle of Higher Education has reported that university enrollments for women in the United States has increased since WW2 to present from the 30 percentiles to over 50 percent. More women than men are now graduating from 4 years degree programs, as well as enrollment and graduation with business majors degrees. Women still lag behind men in the STEM fields, although there has been a gradual increase over time.

Do these enrollment percentage changes constitute “female domination” in and of itself? Peterson suggests that such domination exists, and that the “female temperament” has affected the “domination of the university system” in woke ways.

Once again, Peterson committed errors in argument by making broad sweeping generalizations about the “university system” as if they were more homogeneous than different from each other in terms of various statuses: private vs public, secular vs religious, liberal arts emphasis vs STEM, research institutions vs not, etc, etc.

Furthermore, Peterson has made broad sweeping generalizations about each university within what he calls a system, ignoring the differences between colleges within universities, as well as the multiple and different departments within university colleges.

Is that really a new focus? He's been wailing about women in academia for years now. He even had to shoehorn it into 12 Rules.

The changes do not constitute "female domination". Peterson is just desperately trying to stay relevance so he can keep the Patreon bucks coming in.

I see your point. One of his books associates order with men, and chaos with women.

Today I was surprised to see so many relatively recent Peterson vids and interviews about young women being woke. Perhaps Peterson has been attempting to ride on the Republican and MAGA anti-woke controversy bandwagon occurring during the past couple presidential 2024 campaign years? To sell books, vids, clicks, and his Peterson “university” online?
