Jordan Peterson’s Online University

let's discuss what we're doing with

Peterson Academy we thought what if we

could make getting a degree 95 percent

less expensive because that's a pretty

funny Target it's like we're going to

undercut You by 95 percent and offer a

better quality experience along the way

why wouldn't it be good to provide

everybody at least in principle with

access to the best lectures you know you

might think why should you be generally

educating because otherwise you're going

to be a useless resentful bitter

pointless counterproductive lump and

that's not a good strategy so that's why

you think you think so that your stupid

thoughts can die instead of you if you

get to the upper echelons of any

hierarchy you'll start encountering

people who know a lot about almost

everything and so if you're stupid and

you don't know anything about anything

they're just going to look at you and

listen to you for like two seconds and

think well I don't know where this clunk

came from but you know he's not come

along for the ride you need to be

enculturated so that you can play with

sophisticated people and you could play

as sophisticated and productive game but

also so that you've informed yourself

with the greatest ideas of History so

that whatever problem you're tackling

you're going to have tools to pack

chocolate with once we get it well

developed you'll be able to take all

these courses and then you know you

won't be a complete embarrassment to

yourself I didn't enjoy my University

experience the professor wasn't

interesting I was like I'm pretty sure

what they just said wasn't true I got a

psychology Professor tell me rats

weren't social creatures because they

lived in cages literally that happened

it's like what not traveling 40 minutes

to go to this class and I think it's

cruel that people are told they have to

go to university they have to spend 100

to 200 000 to get a degree so they can

get a job otherwise they're screwed it's

just a scam but it bothers me that

people are being scammed to learn to not

believe in themselves assume that they

can't fix their problems and then hate

their country basically it would be

funny if we could blow apart the

university system a little bit because

it's broken because of what it did to

you like you were alienated out of your

job basically you'll be damn fortunate

if we can provide you with a list of

people who've graduated and if you had

any sense you'll employ them

preferentially because we did the

rigorous screening work and I know how

to do regular screen work because I

studied that for like 25 years a degree

from our University will signify

high-level conscientiousness and general

cognitive ability and those are very

valuable for any employer with a clue so

I think we can just skip the application

process and go right to the employers we

are planning a soft launch in November

and we might be able to change the

education system that's funny it's weird

up yours woke more or less we'll see who

cancels who exactly that sort of funny

that kind of funny oh yeah
