Jordan Peterson, unofficial head of incels and creator of Lobsterman, has to take a course on how to be professional on social media.

He added he no longer treats patients and his career is instead focused on social and political commentary. Similarly, he doesn't regularly lecture at U of T. 

However, Peterson has said he wants to retain his licence.

Of course he does; it lends his snake oil an air of legitimacy.

But professional conduct is a pretty basic ask by any professional licensing authority.

Kermit the frog sounding mother fucker, lord I hate this dude lmao. He has to be one of the most punchable people in existence, next to Ben Shapiro.

Man, fuck Jordan Peterson.

That's amazing. I love it.

Google has no idea who "Lobsterman" is, and hence neither do I. Why do we care about some obscure Canadian psychologist?

Ben Shapiro is the unofficial head of incels.

Peterson is (or at least was) hugely influential in the right-wing pseudointellectual griftosphere.

Weirdly, if you Google someone by their actual name, you get a better chance of figuring out who they are.

If you google "Jordan Peterson lobster" you'll find this.

And "Jordan Peterson incel" will give you this which came out in 2018, well before Shapiro jumped on the bandwagon.
