Comments by "Steven Goldstein" (@stevengoldstein114) on "Jordan Peterson - Why God's Purpose for Eve Is Important" video.

More crazy thinking that the Bible dictates the value of anyone. Time for this crazy mixing of fiction and science to end. Jordan is known to not only mix up fiction from science as far back as 1995 from an artice in the Harvard Crimson titled Jordan Peterson: Linking Mythology to Psychology And it is no coincidence that he left Harvard 3 years after the story was published Lopez notes that Peterson is willing to take on any research project, no matter how unconventional. His lab examines everything from pain sensitivity to loneliness to aggression among adolescents. "If you have a strange project, [the department] will immediately send you to [Peterson] because they know he'll take them," Lopez says. Peterson seems to pride himself on being able to integrate psychology with the humanities. "The connection between psychology, mythology and literature is as important as the connection between psychology and biology and the hard sciences," Peterson says. But there is no connection between fiction and hard sciences. No scientific evidence to connect them. Jordan has no established evidence to support this theory and has a habit of overselling his expertise and gets caught. . Well here is something to consider. Jordan is guilty of PRIDE, VANITY, ENVY, GREED, and WRATH. Look at how he started trying to deceive the courts in 2009 regarding the Sordi case. At the same time Jordan will not address that DURING SUSPENSION, LICENSEES MAY NOT PRACTICE PSYCHOLOGY OR REFER TO THEMSELVES AS PSYCHOLOGISTS. As indicated above in "Probation," suspensions are considered disciplinary actions associated with probation orders and, as such, are public information and provided to consumers upon request. Jordan is a Jim Jones or David Koresh wannabe. He is an entertainer not a psychologist. Because he sells books and videos and lectures, THAT IS NOT THERAPY. He needs to address his bad conduct in courts in the case of Case 1 Sordi v. Sordi, 2009 CanLII 80104 (ON SC) he defamed a parent in court. In the case 2 R. v. Pearce, 2012 MBQB 22 (CanLII) he tried to free a murderer. Then in the case Peterson v. College of Psychologists of Ontario, 2023 ONSC 4685, he tried to avoid taking responsibility. He also tried to interfere in a family court case in Montana, the Kolstadt case, where there was a GAG order, he unprofessionally diagnosed a minor without interviews or assessments, and tried to defend unfit parents.

@mrbungle2627 but he was quoted saying exactly that. And if you look at all of the videos he posts, he goes off on tangents using fiction to try to prove his psychological theories.

One wrote in the comments Nobody cares about gender, only sex. I pointed out that Identity is the property of the person, and that any legal identity is their property. But this comment is even more problematic because identity has nothing to do with sex. For example a biological male, may identify as female, but be attracted to males only, females only, or both or neither. This is why the assumption of sex over identity is so problematic

One wrote: The Crimson is a student newspaper…his nail clippings are smarter than you. Lets look at what the Harvard Crimson really is: History of The Crimson The Harvard Crimson, the nation's oldest continuously published daily college newspaper, was founded in 1873 and incorporated in 1967. The newspaper traces its history to the first issue of “The Magenta,” published on Jan. 24, 1873, and changed its name to “The Crimson” to reflect the new color of the College on May 21, 1875. The Crimson has a rich tradition of journalistic integrity and counts among its ranks of editorship some of America's greatest journalists. More than 40 Crimson alumni have won the Pulitzer Prize; many of their portraits line the walls of The Crimson. The Crimson is proud of its legacy of alumni active in journalism, business, public service, and politics. Past editors include Franklin D. Roosevelt, Class of 1904, John F. Kennedy ’40, J. Anthony Lewis ’48, David Halberstam ’55, Michael Crichton ’64, Don Graham ’65, Linda Greenhouse ’68, Steve Ballmer ’77, Jim Cramer ’77, Mark Whitaker ’79, Susan Chira ’80, and Jeff Zucker ’86. More than 140 years after its founding, having grown from a fortnightly newspaper to a daily, The Harvard Crimson continues to flourish with a strong body of undergraduate staff volunteers. Also Our Mission and Ethical Code As the only daily newspaper of Harvard University and the City of Cambridge, we have a unique obligation to our readers.

The fact is trying to make any personal insults is a joke.

By the way here is some medical knowledge that proves Jordan is maing up more stories. The smooth motion of the body is controlled by what is called the cerebellum, and also the muscle spindle. The muscle spindle feeds back information about the position and use of muscles and is described like this. Muscle spindles are stretch receptors within the body of a skeletal muscle that primarily detect changes in the length of the muscle. They convey length information to the central nervous system via afferent nerve fibers. This information can be processed by the brain as proprioception. The responses of muscle spindles to changes in length also play an important role in regulating the contraction of muscles, for example, by activating motor neurons via the stretch reflex to resist muscle stretch. The muscle spindle has both sensory and motor components. The cerebellum works like this: What is the cerebellum and what does it do? Although the cerebellum is involved in a number of brain functions, it is best known for its part in the modulation of movement. When we make a voluntary movement, the signal to initiate that movement originates in the motor cortices. Before the signal is sent to our muscles, however, it is sent to the cerebellum. In addition to receiving information about the planned movement from the cortex, the cerebellum also gets information about the position of the body from the spinal cord. It uses this information to coordinate the movement and allow us to make it in a smooth manner, while maintaining our balance and equilibrium. So Jordan again gave his audience unscientific and invalid information based on his bias and lack of medical knowledge.

@patrickodea6500 no he wasn’t, being an expert in using precision language. He just proved he has very little knowledge in medicine, and other issues. Not excuses for the expert communicator

@patrickodea6500 he did, you are trying to avoid it. He needs to avoid making imprecise statements.

Jordan is completely wrong regarding opponent processing his is making up stories here Opponent-process theory is a psychological and neurological model that accounts for a wide range of behaviors, including color vision. This model was first proposed in 1878 by Ewald Hering, a German physiologist, and later expanded by Richard Solomon, a 20th-century psychologist. The opponent-process theory was first developed by Ewald Hering. He noted that there are color combinations that we never see, such as reddish-green or bluish-yellow. Opponent-process theory suggests that color perception is controlled by the activity of three opponent systems. In the theory, he postulated about three independent receptor types which all have opposing pairs: white and black, blue and yellow, and red and green. The theory was supported in a study Solomon conducted along with J.D. Corbit in 1974, in which the researchers analyzed the emotions of skydivers. It was found that beginners have greater levels of fear than more experienced skydivers, but less pleasure upon landing. However, as the skydivers kept on jumping, there was an increase in pleasure and a decrease in fear. A similar experiment was done with dogs. Dogs were put into a so-called Pavlov harness and were shocked with electricity for 10 seconds. This shock was the stimulus of the experiment. In the initial stage (consisting of the first few stimuli) the dogs experienced terror and panic. Then, when they stopped the stimuli, the dogs became stealthy and cautious. The experiment continued, and after many stimuli, the dogs went from unhappy to joyful and happy after the shocks stopped altogether. In the opponent-process model, this is the result of a shift over time from fear to pleasure in the fear-pleasure emotion pair. So much fiction being sold by Jordan

@Ot-ej5gi But that is not what he is describing at all, he is making the claim that interpersonal interaction is in the neurology of opponent processing. It is not related at all. What Jordan is doing is what he did in Harvrd that eventually got reported in the Harvard Crimson. Time to stop blindly accepting the nonsense. Jordan has weaponized his expertise in psychology. The Psychology of Cults: How They Lure People In and Take Control Cults recruit new members anywhere you might expect to meet new people: social media, discussion groups, community clubs, events, and the like. These are typically nonthreatening, public situations that would not cause anyone to be suspicious. Cult recruiters get to know as much as they can about people and identify individuals who may be receptive to meeting a group of the recruiter’s friends at dinner or another social event. Though the chosen targets are generally unaware, these seemingly innocent gestures are the first steps to being drawn into a cult. Targeting Vulnerable Prey Receptive people are those who are looking to escape something—such as an unhappy life situation—and to belong, be accepted, and find meaning. Cults prey upon the vulnerable among us, such as teenage runaways, drug addicts, abuse survivors, those who have lost someone close to them through death or a breakup, those suffering from insecurity or mental health issues, or anyone who feels disconnected from society. Drawing in Recruits Once the potential recruit is in the presence of cult members, typically still oblivious to the group’s agenda, they are showered with love and validation. This tactic, referred to as “love bombing,” makes the recruit believe they’ve found what they’re looking for and more likely to return for group activities in the future. This is critical in the early stages of cult indoctrination since the recruit is not yet under their influence and needs to feel secure. Taking Control As they indoctrinate new members, many cults separate them from their families, friends, and jobs, slowly remaking their identities to suit the group. They may force recruits to surrender their money, belongings, and bodies to the cult’s leader and other members. Sometimes they compel new members to marry people they just met. They may use punishment, deprivation, and other tactics to wear them down. These efforts, which sometimes include threats, make new members dependent on and afraid to leave the group. Fully indoctrinated members often engage in behavior they never would’ve considered in their former lives.

@darbyheavey406 actually the first amendment would not be violated either. Since your identity is your property and it cannot be taken from you without compensation. In fact in the us only 3 states try to force you to be the gender identity you do not want. But those laws are violating the civil rights act now and will be struck down.

@TheJeremyKentBGross Identity has nothing to do with sex, meaning a person can identify as a female, be male and be attracted to a male, or a female, or both or neither. Time to wake up .
