In the latest installment of drama over whether or not the word 'cis' qualifies as a slur, renowned psychologist and former psychology professor Jordan Peterson recently tweeted, 'Call me cis to my face and see what happens.'
In the latest installment of drama over whether or not the word"cis" qualifies as a slur, renowned psychologist and former psychology professor Jordan Peterson recently tweeted, "Call me cis to my face and see what happens."
Peterson is a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, and his books Maps of Meaning and Twelve Rules for Life deal adroitly with a number of complex topics. The idea that he cannot see the epistemological limitations of a study that he's tweeting about is more than a little absurd. Peterson is an example of a trend we're seeing more and more: smart people who are chronically on Twitter becoming less smart. Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt documents this phenomenon in his Atlantic article,"Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid." Haidt argues that the chronically online are shooting dart guns into our brains as well as into each others' brains.
For many of us, social media platforms thus represent both a carrot and a stick driving us toward ideological orthodoxy at the expense of nuance. The carrot is that when we dunk on our opponents rather than grapple with the messy complexity of a topic, we're more likely to go viral, flooding our system with dopamine from thousands of likes and retweets.
