Let's go downstream from #JordanPeterson.

While I agree that the discourse about men and masculine behaviours in today's world lacks positive descriptions or role models that can inspire young boys to mature into competent adults, and that a radical solution is required, the lobster metaphor has become even more troubling than the issue it is trying to address.

Lobsters have been on my mind for a while.

Why?

They were employed by #JordanPeterson to support his argument that hierarchies were natural and not socially constructed, and that human males were in need of a discourse that didn't pathologise their behavioural tendencies.

I am interested in his use of the lobster as a metaphorical role-model for human males.

THE Rule Of Business | #jordanpeterson #shorts

It's not the 80/20 rule, it's the statistical rule that the square root of the number of employees do half the work for you.

So if I have 100 employees, 10 of them are doing half the work and I should concentrate on them and not the other 90% that will never catch up, have no motivation to improve, and don't impact the bottom line.

Truly, not all heroes wear capes. @newscientist@flipboard.com have taken one for the team and read psychologist-turned-Youtuber Jordan Peterson's new book, "We Who Wrestle With God." The TL;DR: It's marketed as being about how ancient myths and legends may offer life lessons, but it's actually all about the Bible and how it's “the foundation of the West, plain and simple.” (The ancient Greeks and Romans, the Norse, and many Arabic scholars would like a word.) And where Peterson tries to link his ideas to human biology, it all goes to pot. In one section, Peterson claims that pregnant and nursing women manifest "increased dependency" and therefore cannot compete with men for status. "At this point we exercised our emergent authority and stopped reading," the New Scientist team say.

Canada's #ForeignInterference 🧵 /1

Given we now know that in addition to his many other failings (professional and otherwise) #JordanPeterson also betrayed his country for money from Russia, the image needed an update. #RussianStooge should be understood as synonymous with "traitor"

(And for the record: #DanielleSmith's 'Useful Idiot' label should be understood as the "at best" scenario. Who knows what further investigation will reveal? Ditto for convicted fraudster #ConradBlack)
