    So far we have learned, Primavera does not know the difference between computer engineers and software engineers, and that he does not know the difference between software engineers and IT.

    Jordan Peterson ranks right up there with Tucker at the top of the list of people the Revolution is desperate to eliminate. These two guys really fuck up their mind molding operations.

    Jordan Peterson sometimes says smart/logical things.
    And other times - like with his goofy, lobster theory - he sounds delusional.

    I knew a woman who took his class at U. of T (in Toronto).
    She said she remembered two things about him - he was arrogant and he (at that time) was big on the movie 'The Lion King' as a source for instruction.
    She neither liked him nor hated him.
    She just remembered - primarily - those two things about him.


    I will say this about him.
    I have yet to meet a man - who is a big fan of Jordan Peterson - who seems to not be either afraid of women and/or hates/belittles women.

    I guess that is why he has developed the reputation as the 'Intellectual Hero of incel's'.
    And he even admitted it was probably true.

    'When pressed by Morgan on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Peterson initially remained stone-faced when he was asked whether he was in fact an "the intellectual hero" for incels?
    "Sure, why not?
    You know, people have been after me for a long time because I've been speaking to disaffected young men. Now what a terrible thing to do that is," Peterson said, wryly. "I thought the marginalized were supposed to have a voice?"
    '
    https://www.newsweek.com/jordan-pete...morgan-1747407


    'Definition of incel
    : a person (usually a man) who regards himself or herself as being involuntarily celibate and typically expresses extreme resentment and hostility toward those who are sexually active.

    The term "incels" emerged from a Reddit group in which tens of thousands of users, most of them young men, commiserate about their lack of sexual activity—many of them placing the blame on women.
    — Josh O'Kane
    In recent years, a number of these men have identified as so-called incels, short for involuntary celibates, an online subculture of men who express rage at women for denying them sex and who frequently fantasize about violence and celebrate mass shooters in their online discussion groups.— Julie Bosman et. al'

    Seems made up. What is the source?

    Her American expositor Katherine Hayles made the mistake of re-expressing Irigaray's thoughts in (comparatively) clear language. For once, we get a reasonably unobstructed look at the emperor and, yes, he has no clothes:

    The privileging of solid over fluid mechanics, and indeed the inability of science to deal with turbulent flow at all, she attributes to the association of fluidity with femininity. Whereas men have sex organs that protrude and become rigid, women have openings that leak menstrual blood and vaginal fluids... From this perspective it is no wonder that science has not been able to arrive at a successful model for turbulence.

    The problem of turbulent flow cannot be solved because the conceptions of fluids (and of women) have been formulated so as necessarily to leave unarticulated remainders.

    You do not have to be a physicist to smell out the daffy absurdity of this kind of argument (the tone of it has become all too familiar), but it helps to have Sokal and Bricmont on hand to tell us the real reason why turbulent flow is a hard problem: the Navier-Stokes equations are difficult to solve.

    Ironic you think postmodern thinkers don't believe in truth and you cannot cite where Irigaray made that statement.

    You may appreciate this explanation of Irigaray’s thinking (which also cites the original source):

    When Irigaray says that E=Mc2 is a sexed equation, she does not imply its inaccuracy neither its incorrectness. The action of choosing which matters would demonstrate and explain the energy ‘E’ is itself problematic because of its sexual orientation. Being sexually oriented does not mean that it is sexist … Irigaray rather says that asking for gender equality and gender neutrality cannot solve the suppression of women.
