Episode notes

Jordan Peterson: I wanted to talk about it publicly, but I don't want this to dominate my life. He says he doesn't resent most of the people at UCLA who were trying to do the best that they could under kind of a difficult set of pressures. "I've been polled that many of the graduate students signed on to that letter without having listened to the podcast"

A VBW exclusive report! For years David and Tamler have been a little dismissive of fears about cancel culture in academia but now the SJWs have come for one of our own! We welcome back Yoel Inbar to talk about his experience applying for a position at UCLA psychology only to have his candidacy pulled at the last minute because of remarks he made on his podcast (!) about diversity statements. What does this mean for freedom of expression in academia? Should we advise our students and younger faculty to watch what they say when it comes to politically charged topics? Are they really going to start combing through podcast episodes now – is nothing sacred?

Plus another case of fraud in psychology comes to light courtesy of the Data Colada guys.
