Man, I love how totally valid and normal thought is now labeled as "controversial". You gotta flag wrong-thinkers from the getgo right? Can't let anyone have any wrong ideas.
Doesn't he get protested all over by various groups? So by observation I think he is controversial, though I also haven't really heard anything from him that sounded exceedingly inflammatory or anything

Perhaps, but if so, it's being applied very inconsistently. For example, the Op Ed page has recently been printing pieces that have upset the paper's leftest elite champions. e.g. a piece challenge climate change orthodoxy https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/28/opinion/climate-of-comple...
The "climate change orthodoxy" is the scientific consensus.
orthodoxy is an enforcement based method, consensus is survey based method.
In any event, the NY Times does often present dissenting views from what one assumes its agenda is. For example, it printing many, many pieces critical of Hillary during the last election cycle.

#24Seems like Canada's largest daily newspaper is stopping just shy of accusing NYT of manipulating their best seller list for e.g. political reasons. This is getting interesting...

The NY Times has been printing op eds that are the opposite of the paper's editors political philosophy. See for example, this William F Buckley editorial suggesting we should tattoo a letter 'A' on the backside of gay men with HIV/AIDS: http://www.nytimes.com/books/00/07/16/specials/buckley-aids....
There's nothing recent about this. Also, I think we should have the strongest written rebuttals to climate change that we can have, from an intellectual honesty point of view.

I was thinking the same thing. His ideas aren't really what I would consider controversial, I'm actually baffled that it's labeled as such.

#26Dr Peterson's recent discussion with Ben Shapiro is one of the best conversations I've heard in a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRPDGEgaATU

That is true, this one always stands out and has not aged well at all.

#28I liked his (Jordan Peterson) explanation of James Damores paper. It seems rooted in biological facts and there was extensive research that was scientifically accepted cited. I really like Peterson and I think his critiques are really valid. His most recent appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast really interested me and I found it both novel and a great scientific exploration of social & biological concepts. I don't under…
Do you have a link to his explanation?
