My Dutch publisher made arrangements for me to be publicly interviewed at the University of Amsterdam in front of an estimated audience of 300 students. “We, students and staff of the University of Amsterdam, appeal to Room for Discussion (RfD) to adjust the design of their upcoming interview with the Canadian psychologist Jordan B. Peterson. I’ll happily stack up my academic reputation and “expertise” against any of my erstwhile opponents at the University of Amsterdam, comments about “pseudoscience” notwithstanding. “An extra guest can counteract Peterson’s conservative, patriarchal, anti-feminist, anti-climate-scientific,’ politically incorrect ‘worldview.’ “Well, I seriously doubt it, given my experience with the proponents of such views, but anyone is free to make the effort. Room for Discussion, who invited me, agreed to an additional 20 minute post-talk Q & A, but rejected the request for an “extra guest.”P.P.S.
