Story from the middle of January. I’m just getting to it now.
I recently resigned from my position as full tenured professor at the University of Toronto.
…
First, my qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students (and I’ve had many others, by the way) face a negligible chance of being offered university research positions, despite stellar scientific dossiers. This is partly because of Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity mandates (my preferred acronym: DIE). These have been imposed universally in academia, despite the fact that university hiring committees had already done everything reasonable for all the years of my career, and then some, to ensure that no qualified “minority” candidates were ever overlooked.
Oh boy, Juden Peterstein. Where to begin with this Finklethink Practitioner? His article is great, although he doesn’t actually produce any specific examples, which greatly hampers his argument. However, he’s also stated on record that his number one goal is to stop young men from supporting White Nationalism. He does this despite all his closest “friends,” being hardcore jew nationalists like Benny Shapiro, who openly talks about ethnic cleansings of Palestinians.
And here we see this anti-White garbage person deconstructing “European Pride,” and White Nationalism once again. There was also this hilariously self-disproving video of his that I used to get recommended on YouTube all the time. Even when I wasn’t watching political content this vid would be the top recommended video.
And he’s got plenty of other videos on “cancel culture,” and all that stuff. I’d like to remind you that he is literally promoted by the YouTube algorithm, and thus promoted by Google.
Second reason: This is one of many issues of appalling ideology currently demolishing the universities and, downstream, the general culture. Not least because there simply is not enough qualified BIPOC people in the pipeline to meet diversity targets quickly enough (BIPOC: black, indigenous and people of colour, for those of you not in the knowing woke). This has been common knowledge among any remotely truthful academic who has served on a hiring committee for the last three decades. This means we’re out to produce a generation of researchers utterly unqualified for the job. And we’ve seen what that means already in the horrible grievance studies “disciplines.” That, combined with the death of objective testing, has compromised the universities so badly that it can hardly be overstated. And what happens in the universities eventually colours everything. As we have discovered.
Easily believable, considering that I’ve written articles on my old site, which will be ported here, on the University of British Columbia’s “Social Justice Institute.” You might be surprised to find out that the character above is a “queer latinx,” who “plays video games erotically so as to better understand post-colonial global empire and also as Asiatic commodities.”
Yeah, I don’t know either. Academic Review must be a serious part of any serious political party, and focusing on how anti-White/perverted they are should be combined with how ridiculous they are.
All my craven colleagues must craft DIE statements to obtain a research grant. They all lie (excepting the minority of true believers) and they teach their students to do the same. And they do it constantly, with various rationalizations and justifications, further corrupting what is already a stunningly corrupt enterprise. Some of my colleagues even allow themselves to undergo so-called anti-bias training, conducted by supremely unqualified Human Resources personnel, lecturing inanely and blithely and in an accusatory manner about theoretically all-pervasive racist/sexist/heterosexist attitudes. Such training is now often a precondition to occupy a faculty position on a hiring committee.
Peterson, despite being a sort of mainstream LOLcow and attempted gatekeeper, is doing a good job explaining the process through which Academia gets rigged. Obviously, the hiring process is where most people think that the corruption is, and that’s certainly true, but research grants being used to force conformity to an anti-White psuedo-ideology is definitely a very important aspect of academic bullshit. It’s also potentially easier to tackle through a political party.
There is one last part of his article that I find insightful.
The Implicit Association test — the much-vaunted IAT, which purports to objectively diagnose implicit bias (that’s automatic racism and the like) is by no means powerful enough — valid and reliable enough — to do what it purports to do. Two of the original designers of that test, Anthony Greenwald and Brian Nosek, have said as much, publicly. The third, Professor Mahzarin Banaji of Harvard, remains recalcitrant. Much of this can be attributed to her overtly leftist political agenda, as well as to her embeddedness within a sub-discipline of psychology, social psychology, so corrupt that it denied the existence of left-wing authoritarianism for six decades after World War II.
Brian Nosek
I couldn’t find out any Wikipedia Early Life on Brian Nosek, so I can neither confirm nor deny.
Mahzarin Banaji
Mahzarin Banaji on the other hand is some born in India professional anti-White who has a position at Harvard.
Furthermore, the accrediting boards for graduate clinical psychology training programs in Canada are now planning to refuse to accredit university clinical programs unless they have a “social justice” orientation. That, combined with some recent legislative changes in Canada, claiming to outlaw so-called “conversion therapy” (but really making it exceedingly risky for clinicians to do anything ever but agree always and about everything with their clients) have likely doomed the practice of clinical psychology, which always depended entirely on trust and privacy. Similar moves are afoot in other professional disciplines, such as medicine and law. And if you don’t think that psychologists, lawyers and other professionals are anything but terrified of their now woke governing professional colleges, much to everyone’s extreme detriment, you simply don’t understand how far this has all gone.
Okay I lied, this next bit is fairly important as well. It’s annoying how he keeps saying “woke,” which is an impotent term conservatives invented so they don’t have to advocate for White People or Normal People against perverts, but it’s still good stuff. University accreditation being rigged is another obvious venue for attack.
