I feel compelled to again state that the Federalist Society is not some shady, Q-anon-esque organization.

I thought they were republicans.

I mean, they are certainly moving that direction though. but that's not unique to them unfortunately.

When I was in school they were quite admirable and I was very good friend with several members, went to a few meetings and crushed brews.  ANYONE who says they aren't becoming whiney ass trumpers now versus then is a legit liar.   The shift to trumpism is very well illustrated in the stanford crying their asses off because they got teased situation

Fun DQ law school fact:

I was a member of the Black Law Students Association, but not the Federalist Society!

I feel like The Federalist Society is as close as you can get these days to a White Students Association.

Really the only side I’ve seen with a consistent stance on free speech is probably the ACLU.

interesting article.

Well that would be a disappointment. Conceptually at least.

Yeah Peterson has a lot of good things to say but he's also says a bunch of weirdo stuff and does weirdo things and isn't exactly someone anyone should try to imitate. 

If you can filter out the batshit stuff, what's left is great.

Do as I say (well, the good stuff at least), not as I do is a real thing imo.
I think there are probably a lot of people that do and say good stuff worth listening to that also do or say bad stuff that isn't worth listening to.  I don't think the bad stuff wholly invalidates the value of the good stuff.
I was listening to a Peterson Bible Series lecture today (which are really fun tbh), and he was talking about Adam and Eve and going real in depth with all his crazy stuff, and I found one of his points really interesting.  Basically he's talking about when God talks to Adam after he eats the fruit.  This is why I think people who painted him as some incel apologist got him so wrong:

Quote
I love this part of the story. It’s so funny, and we could use a little humor at this point. "And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And Adam said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked." So, in case there was any doubt about that, that's why. "And God said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Did you eat of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that you should not eat?" This is where Adam shows himself in all his post-fall, heroic glory: "And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

So that's man. Again, there's a modern feminist interpretation of the story of Adam and Eve that makes the claim that Eve was portrayed as the universal bad guy of humanity for disobeying God and eating the apple. It’s like, fair enough. It looks like she slipped up, and then she tempted her husband, and that makes her even worse—although, he was foolish enough to immediately eat, so it just means that she was a little more courageous than him and got there first.

It’s Adam who comes across as really one sad creature in this story, as far as I'm concerned. Look at what he manages in one sentence: First of all, it wasn’t him; it was the woman. Second, he even blames God! It wasn’t just the woman— "and you gave her to me! And she gave me of the tree, and I did eat." It’s like, hey, Adam’s all innocent—except now, not only is he naked, disobedient, cowardly, and ashamed, he’s also a snivelling, backbiting fink. He rats her out like the second he gets the opportunity, and then he blames God. That’s exactly right. You go online, and you read the commentary that men write about women when they're resentful and bitter about women. It’s so interesting. It’s like, it’s not me: it’s those bitches. It’s not me: it’s them—and not only that, but what a bloody world this is in which they exist. It’s exactly the same thing. It’s exactly the same thing, and it is absolutely pathetic.
I think that's a pretty brutal takedown of incels tbh.  Anyway, his lecture series on the old testament is really good.  He makes some pretty out-there claims, but he really makes you appreciate these paragraphs-long stories that are the bedrock of a lot of our civilization and offer a lot of universal truths thousands of years later.

My planes will only be driven by airmen, none of this "pilot" bullshit.

Kind of surprised they didn't lament the end of "stewardess" tbh

this board has me scrounging linkedin for more content but did not see this one coming today

Quote
BIG NEWS: Yesterday, the one and only Dr. Jordan Peterson stopped by my house to record an episode of The Diary Of A CEO 🤯 one of the most emotional moving episodes in our history.

We discussed everything from business, life, remote working, the metaverse, how to set better goals, how to become self aware, how to build confidence, purpose, meaning, how he would have handled the last two years if he was in charge, the importance of avoiding the temptation to label yourself anything and much much much more… at the very end, Jordan broke down in tears when I asked him the simple question “How are you doing?”… his answer to that quaestuon was “Brilliant and Terribly” I asked him why, and his answer was not what I was expecting 🤯 😔
