Here is a link to Jordan Peterson's entertaining National Post article -- entertaining, that is, for those who enjoy black humor -- relating the efforts of the Ontario College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts to enforce its plan to re-educate the said Peterson, Canada's best known, indeed only publicly known, pyschologist. Ostensibly, the College's efforts to re-educate Dr. Peterson are aimed at preventing him in future from expressing publicly his opinion on such matters as Bill C-16, which, so Peterson suggests,"should have been entitled Legislation to Convince Vulnerable and Alienated Girls to have their Breasts Sliced Off.”
Naturally, it is annoying to those who advocate the mutilation of thirteen-year-olds to have a well known personality in their own field of specialization opposing their view and even suggesting that there is something, well, basically perverted about the whole idea. And indeed it must be doubly annoying to practitioners of a profession that sees itself as possessing the means to cure every kind of wrong think from seeing pink elephants to questioning the wit and wisdom of Justin Trudeau.
But what must really underlie the annoyance of the Ontario College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts is that almost no one has heard of them or gives a fig for what they think, whereas many millions throughout the World have heard of Jordan Peterson and actually know, and find of interest, what he has to say.
