    and most of those old guys smoked ?
    60 hours a week? Try 70-80. There’s not many old timers left working that much but 60 hours a week is pretty typical for the majority of doctors these days. Even when they split a full time position it’s probably close to 40 hours a week.

Most of the push is from nursing academia because getting people in school longer is $$$. However, since program differences for clinical DNPs have little extra clinical education over MSN, there is not much to sell except a title, and very little for compensation. It is (but doesn't have to be) credential inflation. DNP has little utilitity unless someone wants to teach for at uni or get into research.

    3. DNP (and MSN) has a bunch of non-clinical tracks: management, education, leadership, informatics, research, and a bunch of other non-clinical specialties. So RNs wanting a higher degree, typically for pay raises/management/educator jobs, they go get a non-clinical MSN/DNP. They do not have to be NPs. This is very common. Majority of the MSN and DNPs I know are not NPs.
    I’m starting to see a push among PAs to get a DMS, doctorate of medical science, which seems ridiculous and has not practical use. There also seems to be a push for rebranding from physicians assistant to physician associate.

    Interesting. Many of the DNPs here are educated via BS to DNP Programs as NPs with the D involving a specialty track. At the University of Utah, for example, there's no NP program just a DNP program. Note the specialties, they're not just non-clinical administrative or teaching:

Again, I'm not sure what you think "enforced monogamy" is... but I don't think we are operating on the same definition.


    I’m no expert on Peterson - but that sounds pretty “incel-ly” to me

    Anyone could in theory be an incel - but seems like a stretch that this wealthy Ivy League educated guy was celibate involuntarily. Guy dropped his disguise to flirt! Where the fuck are people getting “this guy is an incel” vibes?

    And being physically attractive doesnt mean someone will swimming in pussy if their personality is shit or if they simply lack any sexual confidence. Women smell lack of confidence and are turned off.

    I suspect the salaries of US doctors also drives up the salaries of Canadian doctors in order to try and retain them - this plus a bit of “brain drain” of doctors moving to the US for that high pay adds both financial stress to Canada’s universal system and lowers the number of doctors available to work in Canada.

    Did you read the article you linked? Being disabled from back pain is not a lack of confidence

    I see how you can look at that clip and jump to such a conclusion. It's intentionally quoted in that way.

    What he is talking about is both fascinatingly complex, at least from what I can tell. I've actually listened to a lot of his lectures, and never heard him use that term in particular. I have heard him describe the destablizing effects of polygamy and broken families. As near as I can tell, that is a quote from some NYT interview from 6 years ago from a reporter who was out for him, then cropped for maximum contextual distrotion.

    Again, enforced monogomy is not "making women be with men," it is outlawing polygamy. But the journalist was looking for an opportunity to find a place to sink in the dagger since she was a radical feminist and viewed Peterson as, in her words, "the guardian of the patriarchy."

    A quick google yielded this:

    That’s all.

    No recommendation of police-state assignation of woman to man (or, for that matter, man to woman).

    No arbitrary dealing out of damsels to incels.

    Nothing scandalous (all innuendo and suggestive editing to the contrary)

    Just the plain, bare, common-sense facts: socially-enforced monogamous conventions decrease male violence. In addition (and not trivially) they also help provide mothers with comparatively reliable male partners, and increase the probability that stable, father-intact homes will exist for children.
    He is certainly hated by some progressives for non-adherence to "the current thing."

    Oh there's a mention in a wiki article??? That's the ultimate evidence! Discussion is over.

    JP has been married for 35 years, has a grown child, and promotes traditional family relationships. He is the literal opposite of red pill/black pill incels. He would certainly tell you that he would hope his words help guide incels away from their misguided ideology and toward what he views as a better traditional life with traditional relationships.

    Of course, that won't stop some incel from cherry picking or misinterpreting something from him to justify the opposite of his intent. And it certainly won't stop a radical feminist from then conlfating him with misogynistic incels.

    JFC. Kermit Peterson is a walking definition of 'unfuckable'. He's insufferable. He's boring AF. Tries so hard to be provocative to compensate for lack of substance. The only way he'd be involved in getting a women wet is by being punched in the face by a better man. Which is almost anyone.

    I find it surreal that anyone takes him seriously - which, interestingly, seems to only be a claim from the lonely and/or Incels but not women.

    Maybe it shouldn’t have gotten this far, but that CEO himself helped drive it this far.

    After more than a decade of being harassed by lefty activists and celebrated and paid handsomely by the right, his actions and words have certainly skewed towards inflammatory-right in recent years and his self importance has inflated dramatically.


    That said, his view on men, as i understand them, is more along the lines of "lets not forget that young men have mental/emotional struggles too, and instead of minimizing those struggles and forgetting them, I want to talk about them and help these guys". The fact that he was/is focused on the mental health and struggles of males, in an era of Me-Too and female/minority empowerment struck many people as too close to "All-Lives-Matter". So he was seen as a villain in many left circles, and many of his speaking engagements and interviews are with "hostile" interviewers/crowds.


    So when he was talking to this "hostile" interviewer, and he makes a passionate point about why he thinks some men are having a real mental/emotional struggles, the interviewer laughs. That is A) rude, and B) the kind of condescension that he is familiar with coming from his "opponents' during these type of "hostile" engagements. I can sympathize a bit with this as i have an in-law family member who holds some angry feminist anti-men views that i have had to talk seriously with my wife about her access to my son for teaching him things like "boo men, all men suck", and "men are the worst"... and genearlly being very freely disparaging of men in general, etc.


    And IDK why we are talking about incels here. There is no possible world where Luigi doesnt slay.

    And that doesn’t account for PAC and SuperPac donations.

    He's self-important and uses 200 words to describe something when he could have used 2. It's no wonder summit is a fan.

    This.

    Who the fuck would listen to him, or value his opinion?
