Any Blindboy fans, he's on The Last Word tomorrow evening.
If you say so. But since no one else did - you appear to be taking issue with something only you actually said. Which strikes me as a weird thing to do. But who am I to judge.
Anyway. What was actually said in the screenshot you offered was that podcasts as a whole - not any single example of podcasts - are a "creative medium". And I certainly see no issue with such a statement. Do you? It's essentially long form radio and radio can be a creative medium too. "Can" being the important word of course since so much of it fails to achieve that. As do many podcasts.
He mentioned himself that he has to do a few interviews of this sort at the moment. He was on the Late Late show last week too I heard. Don't think he is particularly into doing such interviews. But he did mention that when you release a book (which I believe has made the best seller lists in the UK as well as Ireland so it is already doing better than his last book) you are then contractually obligated to do such media appearances.
I see, thanks.
How about the 'Boatclub' part?
And the 'Boatclub' bit?
I haven't a notion. Some of the people who follow him closely might know.
Anyone that doesn’t question climate modelling is an idiot. Has it ever gotten anything right?

not sure if serious?
"Academic research has identified CEI as one of the think tanks funded to overturn the environmentalism of the 1960s, central to promoting climate change denial. It was involved in assisting the anti-environmental climate change policy of the George W. Bush administration.[3] CEI promotes environmental policies based on limited government regulation and property rights, rejects what it calls "global warming alarmism",[4] and denies the science of climate change.[5][6]"
I suspect you might have missed the point there. The point was not that Peterson is wrong to be questioning climate related issues.
The point was that it is a bit selective and unfair to suggest Blindboy should not be critiquing Peterson - because of a difference in qualifications - when Peterson himself critiques many people and topics with qualifications far outside his own.
It is a manifestation of the "Appeal to Authority" fallacy. That people with a qualification are somehow automatically right, or more right, if they discuss the topic of their qualification. It is not so. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone who lacks qualifications in psychology, questioning something someone with those qualifications has said or done.
I have nothing much against Peterson. He has said some complete nonsense in the past for sure. But a lot of what he says I have little issue with, especially if it helps people lost in life to get back on the path. Here is the most recent interview (today) with him and I reckon there was only about 10 sentences in the whole interview where I thought he was talking Bull excrement.
Questioning climate modelling is fine, presenting evidence to support this from what is effectively a pro-capitalism/deregulation institute is well......
The Oil industry itself modelled the impact its industry would have on the environment in the 70's with a high degree of accuracy as proven by scientifica analysis since then.
Ignoring that for short term gains, the foolishness of man.
I recently started listening to his Podcasts and new to Podcasts in general. His ones on Greek mythology were quite good. I don't enjoy his interviews as much - he feels the need to educate a liitle too much but maybe I have listened to enough of them.
Where is he getting the shopping bags you only get brown paper bags round here.
Should blindboy wear a paper bag to save the enviroment.
He said on the podcast several times that a shop in Dublin was closing down and he took thousands of them from them at the time.
JCs in swords
I believe someone also made him a permanent bag which looks like the plastic bags but is made of some other material. So yes he has also gone down a technical "Bag for live" route on it too. I think he wore it on his Music Twitch Streams which I never watched because I have zero interest in his music work myself. So I might be wrong on that. But I do recall a few mentions of a more permanent single use bag.
JCs was taken over by Dunnes. so all the stock is standard dunnes stuff, but they kept the JCs logo above the door. but it doesn't have the ramshackle charm of JCs.
There are multiple climate models, however it is always the worst case scenario that is reported. Because that’s what catches people’s attention. That’s the issue
twas a trout
How can Dr. Peterson be one ? He’s a qualified psychologist, he’s actually an experienced Doctor of Psychology, had numerous books published, taught psychology at Harvard, one of the top 5 universities in the entire world…..
Blindboy isn’t a grifter but Peterson is ? Jeeez, ok 🤷♂️. Peterson is legitimately and verifiably the direct opposite definition of a grifter…
whereas Blindboy meets the definition, a person engaged in practicing giving advice without any suitable qualifications or experience…
Blindboy would have more respect if he’d just say.. “ hey, you know what, this is what works for me, this is what I did, but hey, see a psychologist / doctor, thanks “…
"Blindboy would have more respect if he’d just say.. “ hey, you know what, this is what works for me, this is what I did, but hey, see a psychologist / doctor, thanks “…"
That is what he says, mostly.
Well this is embarrassing that your commenting about someone having no experience, whilst also having no experience of the content you're commenting on....
He tells people this all of the time lad
He peddles crap advice for money, that's how. Either he believes it and it destroyed him or he doesn't and he's a colossal hypocrite. Either way, he's a grifter.
Blindboy has what? A podcast? If you're going to hollow out the word like that then there's not much point in you using it.
When Peterson is dealing directly with patients or teaching at university he most certainly isn’t a grifter.
But he no longer does either, afaik, he chose the lucrative world of anti woke grift instead. He’s left behind the world of proper academia, because academia doesn’t want him anymore.
By chose to leave it, are you referring to the College of Psychologists of Ontario banning him due to wrongthink, unless he undertakes a reeducation course at his own expense??
They didn't.
“As a result, they mandated a media coaching regimen for Dr. Peterson, cautioning that failing to comply might strip him of his psychology practicing license in Ontario.”
Ah they only threatened him, and are still holding it over him. My mistake.
I'll believe it when I see proof.
If somebody with accreditation that signed up to certain rules engages in breaches of those rules, for the credibility of the org they need to call out potential misconduct..
Science by consensus is not science. Would you have agreed with Galileo being shot down and discredited when the consensus was that the earth was flat and the sun revolves around it??
What achievement does Peterson have that compares with Galileo?
