Nah, old folks get triggered just as well as young. They are just used to not to bitch about it.

Yes, we can. Peterson characterises the ad as "an ad that criticises masculinity" (1:13). It is his only direct description of the ad, and that's why we hates it.

He may have flown a hammer-head, or a roll, or both, but there is no aerobatic manoeuvre called a hammer-head roll.

At a pinch, you might see a hammer-head referred to as a hammer-head turn, and indeed the same figure is called a stall turn in the UK. But it still bears no relationship to a roll whatsoever.

Poor attention to detail, at best.

I would say hammer head is a harsh but perhaps fair biographical description.

It's all academic because he was almost certainly in the passenger seat anyway. After all, he never claimed to have been the pilot. :lol:

Good catch!

So....the 7 seconds of pensiveness and chin rubbing near the start...to then come out with, 'I'd rather have my corporations greedy than virtuous'...

Obfuscation in action?

That would be the uncharitable interpretation.

Even that aside, the line you quoted tells us that he's awry. I missed it.

Your catch was so good I'm almost not going to mention your Freudian slip near the end of your last sentence.

That is a vertical roll, which is a thing. Followed by a hammerhead, which is a thing.

Not a hammerhead roll, which is not.

It's not remotely unlikely that he flew the manoeuvre, although he would absolutely have had an instructor with him unless he's also an experienced pilot.

I never did any solo aerobatics, but I've flown plenty of rolls and stall turns with an instructor moaning at me when I didn't do it accurately enough, which was most of the time.

Almost certainly. What’s that thingy called again that the car goes on? You know, it’s black and sometimes there’s lines. Anyway, I bin on them, but I can’t make the car stay on it. Then I broke something.

Jordan (or Jorders as he lets me call him) Peterson suggested I post this. I have no idea if the driver of the car is male or female. One can't assume anything these days.

Jordan Peterson: Cambridge University pulls fellowship for controversial philosopher who called women 'crazy harpy sisters' | The Independent
Jordan Peterson, 56, who has starkly divided global opinion with his views on topics such as masculinity, political correctness and the gender pay gap, had expected to take up a fellowship with the Faculty of Divinity.


However on Wednesday, the department said the offer had “been rescinded after a further review”.

Jordan Peterson, consciously or not, found a hole in the market, that is for sure.
